No Visa... testimony in Danish... funny story

Hello Everyone,

Ok to start off, I'm going to straighten the rumors. Me as well as 7 other Danish Missionaries, of the total 14, did not recieve our Visa's. They are going to put our names into re-assignment, and keep us here another week. If our Visa's come in by this Friday than we are going to Denmark!!! If not, they are going to re-assign us to somewhere in the States. If our visa's came in next week, we would have to stay the whole entire 6 weeks and than be trasnfered to Denmark. We are hoping that they come in by Friday. So we are a little bummed out. Upsides, the Provo Temple re-opened yesterday and I can go today! I'm so excited. Probably the last time I will have it English for the next 2 years, I've missed the temple so much. Another upside is that I will be able to see Elder Thomas Day and Elder Corey Cregar come in tomorrow. Sorry I won't be able to host for you, me and Kyle will come looking for you and we'll have to get a picture before I leave.

Um not much happened this week. We started packing last Tuesday and un-packed on Friday. We had in-field orentation on Thurday. Everybody made it seem like it was the coolest expierence at the MTC. It was a cool expeirence but it was a long day. I'd rather fly to Sacramento again personally. It was a long day of what to expect for the Mission. The main idea was that we were not going out on our Mission's to "plant seeds", and that we are going to harvest. awesome time but a long day.

So this weeks email is going to be short. All we have done here was wait for our Visa it feels like. Haha I'm gong to email you again on Friday to give you an update. So I'll close up with my Testimony-

Min Vindesbyrd,

Jeg ved at Joseph Smith var profet. Jeg ved han så vores Himmleske Fader og hans Søn Jesus Kristus. Jeg ved Thomas S. Monson er vores profet i dag. Jeg ved ikke hvorfor min visa er ikke her. eller hvorfor jeg måske få kaldt til USA i 6 uge. Jeg ved alle menneskke er Guds børn. Jeg ved alle af os kam til Jorden til har lykkeden, lærer og vokser. Jeg ved at vi alle kan live med Gud og vores familie igen i næste liv for alle evigt livgt. Jeg ved Guds Præstedømme myndighed har været geneprotte i Jorden. Og det er findt i Jesu Kristi Kirke Af Sidste Dages Hellige. Jeg Ved Jeg har være kaldt fra profet af Gud. Jeg er vidner af Helligånden i min liv. Helligånden har vidner til mig af Guds elker for alle menneskker i Jorden og denne er Kirken sandt af Gud. Jeg elker mig Frelser, Jesus Kristus. Jeg ved og jeg kan vidner at han gjørdet smerte i Gethsemane. Jeg ved hans Forsoning var for os, så vi kan gå til liv med Gud igen. Jed ved alt kan være rense fra vores synd med komme til Jesus Kristus or for Hans Forsoning. Jeg Elsker Min Familie og for alle min vene. I Jesu Kristi navn, Amen.

Jeg Elsker Jeres!!!!!!!!!!

P.S.

I forgot to mention my funny story. We were out walking by the front gate of the MTC, as a class, when all of a sudden we here sirens. We thought actual exsistance from the outside world!!! Than a fire truck and an ambulance drove into the MTC. We thought this was serious. After the ambulance passed us very fastly we noticed a silver mustang from Papa Johns was speeding behind them. Our first thought was so that's how they compete with fast delivery. It was so funny so see. Than on top of that after the cars passed us speedily, a mother came running in (with her giant purse) and telling the security guard "that's my son". She came out of no where!! Than we all thought that all of the missionaries mother that are in the MTC, have mothers waiting right outside the gate incase anything happens. It was so funny to see this mother's reaction. Love you mom!
