Goodbye my Aussie's

Hej!  This week was a little crazy, but good. We had a quick transfer in the mission, because the 2 Australian missionaries got flights home that opened up at the last minute.  I will miss Elder Ngatikaura and Elder Appleby a ton!  They were two great comps and are now friends for life.

We are teaching two friends right now who are progressing towards baptism.  The first one is a 17 year old named Oscar.  He is such a cool kid!  He has read the Book of Mormon, which is huge, so we're helping him learn more and more.  The other is Erki.  He is a diplomat from Estonia and has also just finished the Book of Mormon.  He says he wants to be baptized!  If everyone at home will pray for them, that would be much appreciated!   

Remember that God works through miracles everyday and a lot of times those miracles come from us to others.  

I hope you all have a great week!

Reading with a purpose

 Hey guys!

I hope everyone has had a great week!   This week was a good one for me.  We had Zone Conference which is always good to get together and we had a ton of fun in general.  It's been snowing here, which is pretty rare here so I've loved that.  We were out contacting the other day when we were stopped by a city worker who gave us two sleds because they were gonna get thrown away so we put them to use by surfing down the hills in the snow...it was a super good time haha!  It's good to find the joy in every day.  It has been fun being the only American in an apartment with 3 other Europeans.  I definitely have gotten to know more about their cultures!

This week a member gave a talk about reading the scriptures.  He talked about the difference between reading the scriptures just because we have to or reading them for a purpose.  We miss out on the opportunities and blessings that come from reading the scriptures with full intent of heart.  He said we always get the most out of the scriptures when we are focusing on coming towards God, being forgiven, finding an answer, or for any problems we might face.  Study the scriptures daily with full intent of heart and keep working on coming to Christ.  

Have a great week!  Jesus loves you all and so do I!

Two Danes, a German and me

Hey everyone!  So this week I got a new companion.  He's a native Dane & a really nice guy.  We have another set of elders living with us in the same apartment and it's been super fun just a little tight 😂  I'm the only American in our place.  Two Danes, one German and me! 

I hit my 4 month countdown mark today which is crazy!  I've come to love and appreciate Denmark & my mission so much.  I have learned some of the most important life lessons but the biggest blessing is that I've come closer to God!  This week I was thinking a lot about being thankful.  How often is it that we pray to God and ask for help and then when we receive it, we forget to give thanks?  It is super important to take in the small things every day and be thankful for everything God has given us.  He has given us this awesome Earth, our families, friends, hobbies etc. but most important he has given us the Atonement and the gospel of Jesus Christ.  Without Him we wouldn't have anything!!  I love this church and I love Jesus Christ!  I testify that He is God's son.  I love you all!  Have a great week!
