Bring on 2020!!

Yo yo!!  This week was a good one!!  We celebrated Christmas and New Years big time!!  To the Danes, Christmas is mainly celebrated on the 24th so we went and ate with a family and their cousins.  It was so fun!  They do some fun stuff like dance around the Christmas tree and eat some good Christmas food.  Everyone was so nice to my comp and I.  We both got like 6 presents!  It was so cool to see how much they love us...I know we love them just as much :)

We had a pretty normal week with missionary work and even had some cool experiences.   We knocked on a lot of doors and we have a couple people who want us to come back.  This week I have focused on Jesus Christ and his Atonement.  It covers everything.  There is no depth it doesn't reach.  I tried to focus more on it because of Christmas and it was great.  One of my favorite scriptures is Alma 7:11.  It talks about how Jesus Christ takes upon himself our pains, sicknesses and weaknesses.  The Atonement is for more than just sins 🙂  Jesus Christ knows each one of us and loves us perfectly.  It's amazing to think about because in the mission field you can see your flaws a lot more.  I've learned that if I focus on Christ and try to improve and repent daily, I am much happier.  I invite you all to do the same 🙂

One funny thing that happened this week...we ate with some members and there was a recent convert there and they gave us non alcoholic beer.  The lady didn't know that it was non-alcoholic and almost lost her mind hahahah... she was trying to get our attention the whole time and tell us to read the label on the can hah!  New Years was crazy here!  It sounded like a war zone with all the fireworks.  We watched the Queen of Denmark give a speech on tv, ate some good food and played some board games with our ward mission leader.  It made for a fun night!  I hope you all have a great New Year and make some goals on how you can come closer to Christ this year!!  Read the Book of Mormon every day, even if it's just a verse.  I know it will help!!  I love you all...

 Godt nytår!!
