"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

Image
  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...

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 jus...

Adventures in Biking & Stake Conference-Søster Severson's Adventures in Esbjerg Denmark September 13, 2021 Week 73

Good week this week! Biked and walked a whole bunch, had a short splits with the Fredericia Sisters and Stake Conference. I even helped translate for a visitor the elders had invited. Both Elders are super new,  so all three probably needed the translation haha. But it was low key stressful!  But it has been a good week, we wrote a song and filmed a music video!! Buttt that will take about 4 years to edit and might not be out until after I am home aahahah.  Stay tuned!!  I read a lot this week about Prayer and improving our prayers. I liked this quote I read this week:  "Will prayers that do not demand much of your thought merit much attention from our Father in heaven?"  The thought really inspired me to be more intentional about my prayers. Sometimes fewer words and more sincerity are what we need to really communicate with our Father in heaven.  Joseph Smith's scripture always reminds me God delights in our efforts to seek. James 1:5 If any of you l...
