a little corner of me

  Pretty much nothing happened this week, we were in quarantine the first couple days, then we went out and contacted and knocked a lot when we were finally free.  The weather is finally getting super nice! We were able to do some of our studies outside in the park across the street from us. Super nice! Good times, mission is being good, transfers are coming up and I will probably be staying here in Horsens. But that's good, I still don't feel like I know the area super well so more time to put down roots!  Spiritual thought comes from a devotional I was listening to called "Your Refined Heavenly Home" by Douglas L. Callister 2006, he quotes  Hugh Nibley in saying:  “If you pray for an angel to visit you, you know what he’ll do if he comes. He’ll just quote the scriptures to you—so you’re wasting your time waiting for what we already have.” I liked that point, use the scriptures! Use what we already have! My companion had a very interesting discussion about how,...

  This was a good week!! We did a lot of travelling, it looked a little something like this: Monday: Copenhagen, then Roskilde for a sleepover with our favorite STLs  Tuesday: Copenhagen / Horsens I had a language test to extend my Visa, pretty breezy they told you the answers in the questions though so I would be very surprised if anyone failed. Got to drive with the Frederacia sisters who are our favourites. Found GF burgers.  Wednesday: Horsens, chill day! Our friend Simon decided to be baptized!! Super excited for him!!  Thursday: Randers! We had in person district council for the first time this week even though the transfer is more than half over. Really fun though! We have some personalities in our district that is for sure. Got the legendary Randers Kabab but we missed our train home :*(  Friday: Horsens + ZL splits with Elder Vestergaard and Paulsen, made us feel good when they had a hard time contacting here too.  Elder Paulsen said "God is not on...

  This was a really good week!! Here are the highlights:   -Interviews in person with President Olsen!! Always great to see them, they only have a few weeks left so we are trying to savor our time with them!!    - Service!!! We got to go help someone weed their garden, always our favorite thing. We got a lot of dirt under our nails but otherwise just sat on the ground so we were thriving- good mental break.    -Pouyon got baptized!! Remember the friends we found through Instagram?? Well he got baptized and we got to be there for it! It was up in Randers so we got to drive up there with the Odense Sisters. Sister English and I were asked to witness, which was a super special opportunity. We were a little nervous because the water was barely over their knees, like the shallowest font ever... but it was perfect!!    Spiritual thought of the week is from Acts chapter 8 verses 17- 20    17 Then laid they their hands on them, and the...

 Hej! Today we moved apartments here in Horsens. We have been packing since 6:30 am this morning, and now I'm tired. Our new apartment is great, and we feel lucky to be here. We've got an amazing view out our window. #blessings. Saturday we had our Zone Conference in Odense, and as usual I loved seeing old friends. We even got to eat lunch as a group. First time for everything. Søster Skousen and I recorded a couple of podcasts, and we'll make those public in a few years. For now, we'll continue to expand our ability to understand the principles of the gospel, and we'll grow our testimonies one discussion at a time. We've got S. English and S. Port helping us with Instagram, and we're excited to keep things moving forward. Miracles have been everywhere this past week. We were teaching a member from the Horsens ward we hadn't seen in a while. Because of CoVid and rules, we met outside in the plaza in front of his apartment building. Just as we were starti...

 Hello Family and Friends coming at you from Horsens Denmark! I've sent a voice recording this week, but my Mom is transcribing it for all those who wish to read.  This week has been good. I moved up from Sønderborg to Horsens. I'm with Søster Skousen now. We are doing good. Our area is not huge-it's an all bike area.  We're teaching some super cool friends, and we had a really cool experience this week. Two of our friends were able to come to church. One of them, who's name is Simon, has been meeting with the Sisters for a couple of weeks. He attended church last week online, and this week he came to in-person church for Fast and Testimony meeting. We think he really enjoyed it! Our other friend Sven has been taught for a long time, and he's had a lot of different encounters with the missionaries over the years. His parents knew members, and he's only ever met with the Sisters over the phone. They had reached out to him as a former investigator, but never m...
