Sister's Sorority & Biking Most Improved! Søster Severson's Adventures in Cary, NC December 14, 2020 Week 34

 GODMORGEN!! 

Jeg håber, I alle har haft en god uge!! 
This week was pretty great- highest complement I've received since I've been in the field is that my biking skills have improved these last few weeks. Wow. (Probably a lie but also maybe no?? I think I'm getting better?) 
This week was weirdly long and super short because Sister Burnham is leaving :(( rip the sorority squad. 
We had an awesome mission tour with Elder Aidukaitis (yeah I don't really know how to spell or say it either) but he was so awesome!! He got us super hyped about extending invitations and commitments!! Commitments help get people ready for Covenants!! They are so important! He challenged each zone to have 150 lessons this week, so that plus our #MaryCary200 district goal meant we had like 15 lessons this week. SÅ SJOVT! 
Most of this week though was a lot of biking and service it was a lot of fun. We have done service almost every day and every single time it's been raking leaves?? Why North Carolina has SO many leaves to rake I am not sure... but let's just say uge learned some mad skills from the past few weeks. 

Spiritual thought of the week comes from the passage that we were asked to read to prepare for our mission tour. We were asked what we can learn from the story of the widow of Zarephath who was asked by the prophet Elijah to give up the last of her food to feed him, a stranger. He was bold on behalf of the lord in asking her to sacrifice the absolutely last of her food that she had prepared to eat with her son and die, for him. But he promised her that in doing so she would be blessed, "And Elijah said unto her, Fear not; go and do"
I love this story because it gives me confidence in committing people to make changes. When we extend commitments as Missionaries we ask people to do some really hard things, we ask them to change their entire lives based on faith. But if we aren't bold in asking, then we prevent them from receiving the blessings and protections that come from living the gospel. So be bold because it is on behalf of the lord!! 

Pictures!! Sorry theres a bunch basically just the squad + some danish elves hope you enjoy!! 

Love you all!!

🇩🇰 MTC week 4 "Søpapegøje"

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...
