The Instagram Account That Grew-Søster Severson's Adventures in Sønderborg Denmark, March 29, 2021 Week 49

 Hej!

This week was busy and great. Taught lots of lessons, did splits with the STL's, had in person District Meeting in Fredericia, and got locked out of our apartment. More about the last one.... We are pumped about our fredikritus Instagram account, and we're already at more than 100 followers! Sister English and I are living the missionary dream.

This transfer, we've been running some mornings.  Thursday as we got closer to our apartment, and the whole "wait, do you have the keys?" thing happened. Neither of us had keys, so we sat outside the building for 45 minutes till someone let us in. So cold! My nose was pink for hours.... After dreaming of hot chocolate, we opened the cupboard to find a leftover stash. God is good!

Current Danish rules say we need a Corona tests ever time we meet in person, but this week we almost ran out of time. Miraculously, our friend needed to go to work early, so we ended our lesson and followed the road signs to a testing site. No google. #realpioneers. With little time, we walked in, showed our Danish medical numbers, had a swab stuck down our throats, and walked away. The entire thing took less than 5 minutes. Best medical procedure experience ever. Danish government, you win;).

General Conference and Easter have been our teaching focus this week, and I love inviting people to immerse themselves in the spirit. I am blessed to know a prophet of God speaks to us, and I can renew my faith and hope through the messages of leaders of the Church.

Spiritual Thought: 1 John 4:8 "He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love." When I think of God, I think of power, strength, knowledge. But I also think of kindness, forgiveness, grace and love. God is our loving Father in Heaven. He loves us and supports us. With His strength , power and love we can do anything. He is God and you are His child. With Him, nothing is impossible.

Celebrate Easter, celebrate hope. Live in peace and share your joy!

Much love, meget kærlighed,

🇩🇰 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...
