God is Aware of Us, and He Loves Us Søster Severson's Mission Adventures in Fayetteville, NC Week 20

Hej Alle!!! 

Undskyld til alle missionærerne!! Apparently none of you have been able to read my emails because Maas blocks the blog links so sorry! I am alive and doing well!! 
This week was pretty awesome! Had a whole bunch of Dansk calls and did a lot of listening to Mormons Bog! We have been doing a lot of memeber work and memeber lessons which are always so fun! I love the members here they are just the absolute best, they are so faithful and so kind! We also had Zone Conference and got to hear from President and Sister Henderson who are the best! They talked about happiness and reminded us that God is aware of and loves us! 
Sunday was the best because it was my first Sunday at church as a missionary! It was very strange to go back, only about 30 people showed up and we were all socially distant and in masks. But the spirit was there and you could tell everyone was so grateful to be able to come back even if it was only for a short time and we couldn't visit with anyone. We love church! 
For those of you asking for an update on Denmark, still no news :( keep praying for us though we haven't given up hope! 

Spiritual/ Danish thought (double!) 
I think I have mentioned before that the danish word for repentance (omvendelse) means literally to turn about. But it gets better! Omvendelse is also a reflexive verb which means you can only do it to yourself. Only you can repent and chose to be better. But once again it gets even better! Omvendelse is also the word for conversion! So when someone converts to the church they are repenting! I loved this this week because it reminded me that  we are the only ones who can turn ourselves to God. 

Pictures!!

🇩🇰 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...
