Hurricane Isaias- Søster Severson's Mission Adventures in Fayetteville, NC Week 15

Hej!!! 
Not sure exactly when this will get sent out but I am actually writing this on Saturday because on our usual P-day (Monday) we aren't allowed to leave our apartments! Yay Hurricane season!!! Hurricane Isaias is headed our way. Kind of exciting. I didn't get official weather while in Hawaii, but I don't mind a good storm. Either was this 'week' was really good!!
It was sad to say goodbye to friends with transfers but I guess that is just part of the miss and now we get to meet and make new friends!! 
Facebook has been keeping us super super busy, they have started running ads on our pages which means we get a LOT of crazy incoherent people spamming us but that's how you find the elect I guess ? 
We made a list of all the countries around the world we have met/ contacted people from through Facebook. Promises fulfilled that we would be teaching people from around the world!! 
Nothing much new to report- little bit jealous of the sisters who just made it to Denmark but mostly just so pumped for them to be out there speaking danish and putting those reassignment skills to the test!! 

Spiritual thought: This week I was thinking a lot about what it means to 'take upon us the name of Christ and always remember him'. It has certainly taken on a new meaning having his name literally on my chest as a missionary. (Even if it is, as one Elder kindly pointed out, 'spelled wrong'... mange tak for det). My companion and I were trying to decide what it practically means to 'always remember him'. I decided that to me it means living my life in such a way that my nature becomes constantly trying to progress and becoming like Him. I would like to hear how everyone else has tried to "remember him always", email me and let me know!!

🇩🇰 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...
