Thriving! Adventures of Søster Severson in Fayetteville Week 22

 Hej! 

Folk- Vi er ude her blomstrende. Guys- we are out here thriving!!! Transfers happened- I am still here in Hope Mills but now with Sister Wing!!!!! She is absolutely adorable, she is supposed to be headed to Paris France! I am so excited because us being companions means that she might get to be companions with my mains from Hawaii, Claire and Liberty when they all get to France! Så spændt! Another blessing of transfers was that we got another set of Sisters to the zone!!! And one of them knows my other roomate Sarah from Hawaii!! I miss them all so much but God is good and its the little connections that make things meaningful ❤
Sister Wing and I really are confused THRIVING out here though! We were asked to be facebook admins for our local page and we have no idea what we are doing but it is a lot of fun to be learning! 
We are both fresh out of training which we both think is hilarious because next month is our 6 months! 🧐🤯 Still not exactly sure how that happened but it's fine!! 

Dansk: blomstrende= thriving (Sister Severson's faktisk favorite word) 

Spiritual Thought! 
Sister Wing and I have had a whole bunch of member lessons and in most of them we have been teaching about the Restoration. Each time we have been reciting or asking a member of the family to recite the first vision. It brings the spirit so clearly each time. And as we have also been working to memorize the first vision in French and Danish, it has been so incredible to feel the spirit touch us no matter what language we read or recite it in. For those of you who have not had an opportunity recently to read Joseph Smith's account of his first vision, please read and ponder on what it means for you and your family. I know that Joseph Smith did see God the Father and Jesus Christ and that because of that we have been blessed to know the fullness of the gospel. 
“I saw a pillar of light exactly over my head, above the brightness of the sun, which descended gradually until it fell upon me. … When the light rested upon me I saw two Personages, whose brightness and glory defy all description, standing above me in the air. One of them spake unto me, calling me by name and said, pointing to the other—This is My Beloved Son. Hear Him!”

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

Image
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...
