WE MADE AN INSTAGRAM!!! Søster Severson's Adventures in Sønderborg Denmark, March 22, 2021 Week 48

 Well it has come to my attention that actually a lot more people than I thought  read these things so I will try and make them slightly more entertaining! 

This week was good!!! We are doing a 40 day fast from things that distract us right now and some of the things we have decided to give up are: 
- sugar (RIP sweets/candy at least) 
- naps during meal times 
- casual Facebook scrolling 
So I replaced that with reading Saints during meal times and finished the entire first book in a week. So apparently one can be a lot more productive if one only stays awake long enough to do something about it. Shocking revelation. 

WE MADE AN INSTAGRAM!!! 
Yes you heard that correctly, Den Danske Mission decided to make an Instagram and for some reason they are letting Sister English and I be in charge of it... we are way too hyped. So please hit us up with any and all favorite quotes and scriptures we can use on our page!!

We also ACTUALLY had a good day of contacting on the street. Legitimately the first day Sister English and I have both been like wow ok that was kind of fun /successful. Turns out the trick was to start treating it as Danish practice. So we just stopped a bunch of people and asked us if they had a moment to talk to us in Danish and pretty much everyone was down to help!  #blessings

Spiritual Thought! 
I was reading this week in Exodus 14 and came across this in verses 13-14 

"Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will shew to you to day... The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace." 

As I have been reading Saints this week I was struck with just how significant Covenants are to the Lord. How anxious the early Saints were to receive the blessings of being "endowed with power in a temple of the Lord" before they journeyed west. 

Sometimes it feels like the Lord asks a lot of us, "where much is given much is required" but these verses remind me that the covenants we make with God, to remember him and keep his commandments are so simple. Exodus 14:13-14 reminds me that often all the Lord asks is that we "stand still, hold our peace, and fear not" how much easier can He make it? All he wants it to bless and help us and so little is really asked for by him. 
So "Fear not, little flock; do good" D&C 6:34 :)

JEG ELSKER JER!! Hav en god uge ;)

🇩🇰 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...
