Mission Conference & the Temple-Søster Severson's Adventures in Ballerup Denmark August 23, 2021 Week 70

 Hi everyone!! Hope you're all doing well, I apologize for being a little MIA the last couple of weeks but I'm alive and doing good! Seven weeks left and trying to power through it !! 

This week was a lot of fun! Two highlights were the temple and mission conference! 
.....well... it was supposed to be a mission conference.... until half the mission got put in quarantine (whoops!) So our "mission conference" ended up being out district (aka the entire island of Sjælland) + the elders from Iceland!! 

We are tech missionaries right now so we gave a two hour training where we broke into workshops to learn about aesthetics, Reels, Danish Connect, YouTube, filming and lighting, and content creation. Did someone say social media influences? Sometimes I still can't believe this is missionary work... 

But it was SUPER fun to meet all the Icelandic Elders, we went to Vor Frue Kirke with them too to see the Kristus statue (again lol, perks of being close to KBH;) 

On Friday we got to go to the temple and do an Endowment Session in Danish which was really special. It really made me realize how much my Danish has grown to be able to understand the whole thing. I love going to the temple and being in the celestial room. I love the peace and clarity that comes from being in the House of the Lord. 

Galatians 5 
13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.
14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.

I like this scripture because it's a good reminder that with our freedoms and privileges we have an opportunity and responsibility to serve and show love to others. ♡ 

Fun Danish fact: the word for island in Danish is ø (literally just the letter) and the word for Iceland is Island. Fun. 

Love you all! 
Søster Severson

🇩🇰 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...
