Søster Severson Week 10 Fayetteville (Fayettenam) Raleigh North Carolina Check In

Hej!!!
So I have officially been in the field for a little over a week!! Haha so weird. But it's been super good! We do a whole bunch of contacting through facebook and have had a lot of success reaching out to people missionaries have taught in the past. 
I was super frustrated with facebook finding this week though because there are so many different groups and so many missionaries in them already... its pretty easy to tell if a comment is another missionary and its just like hey hows the work going? Slow? Yeah us too. But we have been able to have some conversations with some really random friends so that's cool. 
We have been doing a whole bunch of member lessons and the members here are SO cute!! They all have accents and are all in the military and only want to feed the Sisters so we love them... sorry poor starving Elders... we gave them three grocery bags of leftovers. Haha we are so spoiled. 
We did have a hiccup yesterday when we tried to reach out to a recent convert Matt, who was baptized a little less then a year ago. But all he wanted to do was bash and tried to make us feel like we were just stupid. It's hard not to engage but it really does drive away the spirit and profits no one. Sorry Matt we know the book of Mormon is true and God loves you though!
We had to say goodbye to President Holland and his wife though yesterday :( sad but excited to welcome in the Hendersons! 
Kind of a dry content sorry folks- but it's actually been a really great week! I love being here and being a missionary- it's frustrating at times but being able to help others feel the spirit and come closer to god is so rewarding!! 

Spiritual Thought: God is your Loving Heavenly Father!!! This was something we were studying this last week and even made a scripture study on our facebook page about. But so much of our doctrine stems from this simple truth that God is our father and he loves us! I know that because he loves us he prepared a plan to help us become like him. How have you felt God's love in your life this past week, I would love to hear about it!! 

Dansk Ord: verdensomsoændende= world that exciting, or worldwide!! 

Pictures!! 
Basically all just Sister Butler and I realizing we should make sure we have pics to send back to fam.. you're welcome. 

Love you all and would love to hear from you!! Email me at megan.severson@missionary.org or contact my mom for my current address if you want to send me a letter!

🇩🇰 MTC week 4 "Søpapegøje"

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 exc...

Primary & Youth of the Moraga Ward Announcements-Søster Severson's Adventures in Sønderborg Denmark, March 1, 2021 Week 45

 This past week I was asked to create a video of my companion and I singing "I want to be a missionary now" in Danish. My Mom said the kids had a blast tapping their sticks to the music. I guess it's my first primary music video. lol This next one is my advice to the youth of the Moraga ward. I think it's for the 16 year old class? I guess I've learned a lot over these past few years. Sorry kids, the high school years are rough. But there is always hope and faith that God has a plan for each of us. I testify He loves us more than we know. Love Søster Severson

Intermission week 1

      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 som...
