"That Sounded Like a Curse to Me!" Søster Severson's Mission Adventures Week 17 Fayetteville, NC

This week was an experience, I can't even remember when it began but it's been one. 


Highlight #1 
Spontaneous hike when service feel through. Turns out there is a like 4-wheeler dirt pit / trail right near our apartment that had some super cute train tracks- we were quite sweaty but it was 10/10 fun. 

Highlight #2 
Calling Krista!! Also a low light because we really gotta pass her off to her local Elders now. But she is so awesome and has such a deep understanding of the gospel already that we trust that she will be more than fine. 

Highlight #3 
We called out friend Josh who we have been trying to teach for a while but hasn't been that interested. But we called him and prayed with him and Sister Butler promised MAD blessings. I think he just stared at us while we prayed and then afterward he just goes "... that... sounded like a curse..." nah Josh that's just the Spirit. 

For my spiritual thought for this blog I just wanted to say that I love being a missionary. It is really really hard and awkward sometimes. But every day I feel the assurance that this is the absolute most important and meaningful thing that I could be doing with my life right now. Living the gospel brings blessings and following Jesus Christ brings more peace than anything else. I love being able to share that joy with others.

One Year Older (And Hopefully Wiser Too?) Søster Severson's Adventures in Sønderborg Denmark, April 19, 2021 Week 52

  Hej med jer!!!  Denne sidste uge tog vi op til København, og det var bare hyggelig.  *(Prepare yourself for way too long of a weekly undskyld)  This last week our district, (our sub group of missionaries so us in Sønderborg, the Frederacia Søstre, and Odense Elders and Sisters) got to go to Copenhagen for the day!!! But tbh the whole week was too much fun. Because of how far away we are, (tak sønderborg) we got to do double sleepovers in Frederacia with Søster Hofmann and Søster Taylor !! So we drove up Monday night, spent the day in Copenhagen, then drove back on Wednesday morning.  Copenhagen was SO much fun. We got to go to the Temple and do baptisms for the dead. It was the first time I've been able to go to the temple since Hawaii and it was a super special experience. Nothing can compare to the overwhelming peace and clarity of being inside a temple. It made me so grateful that I was able to go through so often before my mission, A little sad the temples...

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 jus...

1 week, 2 areas, 3 companions-Søster Severson's Adventures in Sønderborg Denmark, Feb 8, 2021 Week 42

  Hej med jer!!!  It has been a fantastisk, sindssygt week her in Den Danske Mission! 9 of our missing missionaries arrived!! Wooohooo!!! We pray every night that Søster Murphy  Murri, Williams, Taylor, og Scott and Ældste Croft can all make it here soon!! #forstærkninger  This week was a lot of fun though. I had to say goodbye to Søster Carter so she could go be our #sisterAP up with Sørensen. Sad day. But I was with Søster Paras (yes pronounced exactly like Paris, someone on the street said it must be destiny we were together)!!! She is the oldest sister in the mission and has beautiful Danish which was the biggest help ever!  We spent the first half of the week here in Sønderborg in the freezing cold. We got mad snow here so tracting in a blizzard got me feeling like a hard core old time missionary. I think it was the fact that no one wanted to talk to us too... butttt then we headed down to Nykøbing Falster because Sister Paras is opening it as a sister area...
