Danish Bball

Hey everyone!  Sorry I didn't write last week.  This week has been good :)  It's always fun when you get to serve and help people!

Last week we had the all elders conference and it was so much fun!  We did some work then played a whole bunch of sports and it was awesome.  It was great to see all of my buddies in the mission!

We had a finding activity with my district and it was super fun!  It is always good to be with other missionaries and learn from them.  We also went on splits with other missionaries and that was a great time.

My spiritual thought this week is about faith.  We shared a spiritual thought with a member that was really cool!  We talked about how faith requires action.  A lot of times we think that by just having faith alone that a lot of things will happen.  We need to do our part also :)  God loves you all and Christ loves you too!  Have a great week :)

The mission has set up a Facebook page to share with the Danish people and so we each make a video to post on the page. Here's my video :)

PS: I'm saying... "no matter how many times we make mistakes, we can keep trying because of Jesus Christ. Send us a message if you want to learn more"

Fresh Start

Hey everyone!

This week was good.  We had Zone Conference and it was super good to see the other missionaries.  This next week we are having a conference with all the Elders in the mission.  We're having a barbecue and then playing sports!  It will be super fun!

In times of Covid and everything else going on in the world, it could be super easy to get caught up in negative thoughts and forget what is most important.  The Atonement of Jesus Christ.  Christ gives us the opportunity to have a fresh start every day!  I have come to appreciate and love this gift more than ever on my mission.  It has changed me and it will  change anyone who uses it.  I love you all!  Take 20 minutes every day to read your scriptures and study about the gospel.  It will change your life 🙂  Have the best week!

Rely on God

Howdy!  This week was another good one!  When we really rely on God and trust him it makes a huge difference.  We had a district finding activity and it was super fun.  We have been trying to find new friends and working for it.  Denmark has been pretty cold for summer actually hahha it has been like 60 degrees and raining.  Hopefully it gets warmer in August! Sorry this is pretty short but know that I love you all and so does our Heavenly Father! Have a great week!

Staying put in Nykøbing!

Hey everybody! This week was good. We had a district activity where we roasted marshmallows and hot dogs.  I loved it.  It reminded me of the good ol days back home.  ha ha.  We also got to go on splits with other Elders in my district...it was a good time.  Also, I found out this week that I will be staying for another transfer in Nykøbing with Elder Ngatikaura!  It will be dope, I'm excited.  

The work is moving forward.  We met a guy named Muhammad who has come to church a couple times and loves the Book of Mormon already.  I invite you all to read a chapter every day in the Book of Mormon!  It will change your life.  

I love you all!  Have a great week!

Hot dog cookout

Hello everyone! I've been slacking with the emails lately sorry!  So, this week I hit my one year mark!  Kind of crazy to think about but I'm so grateful for this year.  I've learned so much out here and I wouldn't trade the experiences I've had for anything.

This week was pretty fun!  We had a party/eating appointment on Tuesday and it was wild hahha. We had some crazy turn of events. We got there and the owner of the house thought that he had corona so he stayed inside the whole time.  We only have one hour at appointments for the time being and when we were there for the first 30 minutes the branch sat and chilled hahah. Then they asked us to cook up the hot dogs and dinner and by the time we were done we had to leave! Then we found out that we had to sing because it was a Danish holiday that day and it sounded pretty bad hahaha.  Overall a funny night.

Remember that God is with us all the time.  He is always reaching out to us and wants to bless us.  Reach out to him this week :) I love you all!

Bornholm Field trip!

Hey everyone! Sorry I missed last week.  It’s been another good week here in Denmark.  We got to visit an island called Bornholm and the members there, it was pretty cool!!  The island is fairly small but so pretty!  Our ferry left at 12:00midnight so it made for a late night.  We drove our car onto the ferry then made it up to our cuddy and zonked off.  It was a 6 hour boat ride so we set our alarm for 5:30am to make sure we’d be up in time.  So the alarm went off and of course we hit snooze and the next thing we know, we are woken up to a loud announcement telling us that we needed to be ready to get off the boat in a matter of minutes.  It was a mad dash to say the least but we made it.  Ha ha!  Since we got to the island so early we were able to go straight to a really cool castle and walk around before we headed to the apartment.  The apartment was disgusting!  Because of the whole Corona quarantine stuff, the elders left the apartment in a big hurry 3 months ago and left some fruit, bread and other food out on the counter.  It smelled so bad!!  Everything was moldy and so gross!  So we spent a good part of the morning cleaning, it took forever but we left it in much better shape. Ha ha! 

While we were on the island, we walked into a shop and this guy saw it was the missionaries so he showed us a bunch of airsoft guns and gave us a hat!  Way funny but it was awesome too!  We were able to meet with a few members and give them a quick message so that was fun to meet them.  It was a quick day and a half trip but so much fun too!

We have been doing a lot of facebook finding lately and even though the mission can be tough sometimes, I'm fighting and loving it! 

Remember what Christ has done for us, remember the goodness of God and pray for those in need especially in these crazy times in the world and in the US.  I love you all! Stay safe.
