a little corner of me

      Wow these past few days have felt so unstructured compared to the MTC- But I forget how much I need recharge time so it has been good to be able to find new ways to fill the time.       Our last few days in the MTC were kind of crazy- we had a teaching appointment like everyday and we said goodbye to our teachers way too quickly. Part of me felt like 'yes ok I am ready to be done with this', but the other part was like 'ahhh wait I still understand nothing and can't say anything waittt'! Getting released was also weird too, mostly just because I thought I would feel different but I felt the exact same and I was like ahh I feel guilty watching netflix I'm a missionary, wait no I'm not... why do I still feel guilty? Luckily that passed and I just feel calm now.       I don't think I realized how much pressure and anxiety I was putting on myself to be perfect and to be the best missionary right now . It is funny because something I have been try

Hvordan har I det?       Another week gone and I finish the Online MTC on Saturday... so probably my last post for a few weeks. This week has been super intense we've been speaking more Danish and less English, but it has been super fun. We are learning though that the Danes like to keep their grammar simple and their vocabulary complicated- there are 4 ways to say "I think", and 3 ways to say "I know" all for slightly different (but indistinguishable) circumstances. Tak Dansk.       We had another TRC with our friend Amanda, she goes to BYU and is studying Classics with and emphasis in classical Greek so I got to nerd out for a second about Greek with her but realized how much of it I am already forgetting. Tak Dansk.  S øster Clark and I thought this lesson went much better than our last one with her (when we couldn't figure out how to speak English properly), we taught her about why faith is important and encouraged her to pray to know if God is there. 

Hvordan har I det?       This week flew by just like the MTC has ahhh! I have less than two weeks left! Ah how did that happen?! Yes I got reassigned this week, and I am going to Raleigh North Carolina leaving June 18th!!!  My stake president called in the middle of one of my classes so we talked for like thirty seconds and that's all the information I got (I think it was all the information he had lol). Nothing new on my missionary portal- no email, not 100% sure what I am supposed to do next either.       If you know anyone reassigned there or who served there let me know!! I am mostly just excited I get to go to the South. (ok so its like northern southern but like I think it counts)... When I heard I had been reassigned to North Carolina I was just kind of like "yep that's where I need to go. lets do it".  S øster Clark also got reassigned but to Yakima Washington (leaving July 14th) on the other side of the country, I am super excited for her :) but sad we don&

Hvordan har I det?       This week has been pretty routine mostly just learning more danish and learning how to be better teachers.       We went through each of the Principles of the Gospel (Faith in Jesus Christ, Repentance, Baptism, the Gift of the Holy Ghost, and Enduring to the End) in English to make sure we all actually understood what we believe and will be teaching. I loved our deep discussions about why and how each principle is vital for us and our eternal lives.        Then we went through each of the Gospel Principles  på dansk, (Tro på Jesus Kristus, Omvendelse, D åb, Hellig åndsgaven, og Holde ud til enden). We understood them significantly less på dansk ... Our teaching sounded pretty rehearsed haha I guess that is why we practice! We got to teach our first lesson in Danish too! It actually went super well, our friend was super patient with us and we had a lot of fun. We taught her about the restoration and how to find peace in Christ. Our tongue twisters
