The Spirit Can Teach Us! Søster Severson's Adventures in Hope Mills, NC Week 28

 Hej! Jeg håber at I er godt!! Kind of a #roughweek here in the NCRM for me. 

Basically had a ton of members #gluten me, so I was super sick. Det var IKKE sjovt. But I am not dead yet and we did a lot this week. So here are some highlights!!! 

- Exchanges!! So much fun!! I got to hang out with Sister King here in Hope Mills for the day, we had a super fun meal with a part member family. Both the husband and wife are from CA and speak Arabic, wow the goal. We went to seminary and talked about how the Book of Mormon is essential for conversion. 

- Zone Conference!! Also a ton of fun, always good to see the other Missionaries. We got some awesome trainings from our APs and President Maurer and talked about how we can be effective during these Covid times. 

- We helped one of our favorite members move which was a sad day :(( but helping her out was a ton of fun a couple member families showed up and they were the best. Highlight of the week was when Bro. Shakespeare was helping the Elders lift a couch into the moving van and his 10 year old daughter comes up to tell him one of her brothers is walking on a broken log or something. He just goes "uh Hannah I'm a little busy right now" and she goes "ok fine. But if your son dies, it's on you." It was just absolutely savage and iconic. I hope my children have personalities like the Shakespeare kids. Our idols. 


Dansk!! Jeg lærte at jeg hader ordforråd. Tbh words just don't stick in my brain I have to rely on Søster Clark and her Duolingo wizardry but I did learn couch in Danish is just sofa so that's nice. 

Spiritual thought! One of my favorite things we talked about in our zone conference is about how the spirit can teach us things even if they weren't explicitly said. We talked about how important it is to record your impressions because that is inspiration for you in that moment. Something I "learned" or heard that wasn't specifically said was I need to be better at listening to the spirit. Something I love Sharon Eubanks said is "revelation is a process." We have to be continually seeking and refining our ear to better hear and learn from the spirit. What has the spirit been teaching you recently? 

Love y'all and hope you're all doing dandy!

🇩🇰 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...
