Out of Quarentine, Again!-Søster Severson's Adventures in Horsens Denmark, May 31, 2021 Week 58

 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, if we don't have bodies after this life but we are still expected to do missionary work, we won't be able to read the scriptures or physical books either. So we better get memorizing! (This was followed by a joke about how you should learn scripture well enough, that when the angel comes that you can quote scripture back to him...) 

But in all seriousness, I know the scriptures are the script of God. The are wise and measured words that contain eternal truths necessary for us to come back to our heavenly parents. "My soul delighteth" in the scriptures, and in the opportunity that I have to read, study, and learn from them. My scriptures are one of my most treasured possessions and have brought me through the roughest of times relatively unscathed. They are the word of God. Use them. 

Love you all!
