Party at the Kommune (Actually Online, But Now I'm in Denmark Legally!) Søster Severson's Adventures in Sønderborg, Jan 11, 2021 Week 38

 What the heck happened this week? I'm not entirely sure, but here are some highlights:

- Made me #legal in Denmark by checking into the Kommune 

- Splits with the Sister Training Leaders!! So much fun, so so intimidating though like w o w they are hard core but it was actually great! 

- Splits with Søster Clark!! Absolute highlight of the week, somehow we have managed to see each other every week since we have been in Denmark and this one was no exception. We got to go on mini exchanges and hit the streetz, we were excellent at starting conversations but had no idea how to keep them going lololol but we are learning!!! And our Danish is improving!!! 

- Met with Adrian a whole bunch and he is ready to get baptized on Saturday!! Woohoo!! Also met with our friend  Ånor from Iceland who has the a lot of #deepthoughts and is a gem. 

- Car broke down lol why this happens so much I don't know, but we made a new friend out of it so were are going to baptize him. It will have been worth it.

- Our friend Aman from India made us brunch??? So nice?? We felt so bad that we had to leave but he was so sweet 

- Learned that there are 4 sisters coming to Denmark on the 20th and 2 more + an elder two weeks after that !! Super super excited for them!! Adding to the ranks 

Spiritual thought this week is just my favorite scripture that I think just sums up 2020 (1 Nephi 20:10) 

"For, behold, I have refined thee, I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction."

I love this scripture because it reminds me that in order to be strong we have to be tested and endure trials. There is no other way to know if where you stand and what you can endure until you are tried. Life is what it is and it's our choice what we want to make ourselves into with the circumstances we have been given. 

Jeg elsker jer!!

🇩🇰 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...
