Probably the Weirdest Week So Far-Søster Severson's NC Adventures Week 21

 Hej Alle!! Jeg håber, I alle har haft en fantastisk uge! This week has been pretty interesting... 

1. Transfers, I am staying put in Hope Mills but everyone else is leaving including Sister Butler. Sad day. Actually terrified to be out of training- I don't even know how to missionary. But I am excited to switch things up too! 
2. #Gotglutened this week which was a little rough. One of the Senior Missionaries made a GF pie for us but dropped off the wrong one. Didn't know about it until later, but should have picked up on it when I actually couldn't stay awake in comp study. Anyone who knows me knows that's the actual worst part so I was fully head-bobbing could not physically stay awake- zonked, and Sister Butler was like dude what. haha
3. Because we are our zone's Facebook page admins we get calls from the Elders a lot asking for help or advice for their content/ posts. So when we got a call asking if we could come help film a video for facebook we were like yeah sure. Walked in and one of them was taped to the wall... smh Elders. 

Dansk: Started reading the Saints book in Danish so I have been learning a lot of awesome vocabulary from that- favorite word so far is oversvømmelser- some how it means to flood, float, and drown.. don't know why the danes don't just make up more words lol 

Spiritual Thought: This weeks Spiritual thought is about God answering prayers. This last week I woke up one day and felt really tired- ready to move on I guess. As I was praying I just asked Heavenly Father to hear just a small piece of news about Denmark that day. I honestly can't even claim to have prayed with anything more than a depressed hope. I said, 'I know I can be patient and will wait if that is what I need, but I just really want to hear something today.' After I tried to just put it out of my mind and get to work- we ended up having a super busy day but that thought and prayer stayed in the back of my mind all day. That night though I got an email from our Visa coordinator letting us know that the consulates are open! It is still probably going to be a while before we can get appointments and actually get over there, but it was such a tender mercy to hear! It brought me a lot of hope and peace and was a good reminder that God is always aware of us and knows our needs. He loves us and wants to bless us! Let me know what y'all have been praying for recently and how God has been answering your prayers! 

Jeg elsker jer alle! Hav en god uge!
Søster Severson

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

Image
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...
