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 they received the
Holy Ghost.
18 And when Simon saw that through laying on of the
apostles’ hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money,
19 Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay
hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost.
20 But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee,
because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.
I liked these verses because they offer a clear example of
pure doctrine in the new testament. Receiving the gift of the holy ghost by
proper authority by the laying on of hands after baptism. But it also shows
that spiritual gifts cannot be purchased with money, they aren't things we can
sell or give money for.
Much love, meget kærlighed,
