Sister Severson's Mission Adventures 4th of July in Fayetteville NC Week 11

Hej!!!!
Hope everyone had an awesome Independence Day!!! Not a ton happened this week but here are some highlights:

1. Meals with Members!! We can now eat outside with members so we had 2 dinner appointments this week. Both were really fun and also reallllyyyy awkward. 
2. Zone Conference!! Super fun! We got to meet President and Sister Henderson the new mission president. They are so cute!! The actual zone conference was nice but it was rough because it was a billion degrees and we had to wear our masks the whole time. But it was probably for the best since we were outside right next to a garbage treatment plant... 
3. Exchanges! Exchanges are where you switch companions with one of the young missionary leaders for 24 hours so they can train you. So Sister Butler headed up to Cary near Apex and I got to be companions with Sister Clark for 24 hours down here in Hope Mills!!! It was super fun! Also super scary/ stressful to be in charge of the SIM card for our area- lots of messages from the middle of conversations I had no idea how to respond to. 
4. Fourth of July!!! Super fun! Sister Clark and I got to go help out at a ward members neighborhood parade. The Elders and us built a giant balloon arch that only kind of fell apart  but it was so much fun!! Yay America!! 
5. 2% sad that our friend Paula keeps cancelling on us, but super excited for her to keep learning and growing in her faith. She has such a kind spirit and desire to follow him and we dropped off a Come Follow Me book to her that she has been studying with a member we introduced her to every Sunday- if y'all want to add her to your prayer roles that would be much appreciated. 

Spiritual Thought: One of my favorite call to action/ savage scriptures in the entire Book of Mormon is from Alma 60:21 and says "Or do ye suppose that the Lord will still deliver us, while we sit upon our thrones and do not make use of the means which the Lord has provided us?" As I read back over this scripture this week I was struck again by how much God has given me, and I asked myself what gifts, talents, and means has the Lord given me that I am being idle with? How do I change? I know that when we feel the call and desire to change that all we need to do is repent. All repentance is, is action and turning to the Lord and choosing to continue to progress rather than stall or stay latent. When we depend on God and on the Atonement of Jesus Christ we become better. 

Dansk Ord: This week's danish word is a shout out for my Dad, sygehus. Literally sick house... or hospital. Classic Danes.

🇩🇰 MTC week 4 "Søpapegøje"

Image
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...
