Hello everyone!
This week has been pretty amazing and I love getting the opportunity to share what has happened. This week has been a lot of service and providing both physical and spiritual aid. With a few lessons mixed in.
The beginning of this week started kind of chaotically as we were trying to confirm our lesson times! We have had some amazing lessons throughout the week and we hope to teach even more. The best lessons were definetly the one with Behnam on Wednesday and with Amir on Friday. We taught some really cool principles most of them very simple but they are life changing principles! Though the gospel of Jesus Christ has many layers, it comes down to knowing who we are as children of God and trying to become like Jesus Christ. It is a message of hope.
The theme that we are focusing on this transfer is the Book of Mormon! That means that we are challenging ourselves to use it more and study it more. I loved the quote from President Benson a while ago when he said,"Not only do we need to SAY more aboout the Book of Mormon, but we need to DO more with it." We need to act so that people can act! That is one thing we have seen this week. We need to reach out and we need to set the example so that others can see it. You don't get anything done just by talking about it (sadly).
As for other things this week, we had a lot of service appointments. We got to serve a member who recently had his foot amputated and helped clean his apartment. Second, we had an appointment where we helped this family with some gardening. We have loved the opportunities to serve and we hope to serve more.
An honorable mention this week goes to Social Media work as we are part of the team that creates ads in Danish! It is such a cool thing to see technology change the mission in ways that have never been seen before! Facebook refferals are one of the best ways to find people now.
One of the funner things we did this week was have a district meeting and eating appointment! We had a taco bar and it was delicious. Nothing is better than spiritually uplifting each other just to eat some delicious food right after! We had a blast and then went strong into Sunday! Sunday was also amazing because we had a bunch of our friends come to Church. It was amazing to see so many people that were so interested in the gospel! We really hope this continues.
Thank you all for the emails! Only 9 left! I look forward to writing again next week! Thank you all for your prayers and for the support!
Love,
Elder Lines
