Book of Mormon in Urdu given- Conference rocks!

It has been a marvelous week. Me and Elder Ludlow have been staying busy and finding people along the way. Last Thursday we had the wonderful opportunity to stop by a man, who asked for a Book of Mormon in Urdu. ( We knocked into him about two weeks ago). We knocked again on his door and he was still cheerful with us and asked if we brought the book. We pulled it out and his eyes lit with joy! He said to come on in! He was having dinner with his family and we tried not to intrude, but he said everything was ok. He comes from Pakistan and has a muslium background. He had so many questions of what was in the Book of Momon. Me and Elder Ludlow taught very simply. When we got to the First Vision and the promise of the Book of Mormon, the Spirit just Magnified! As I told Elder Ludlow, ''The Spirit was rocking in that room!'' The Spirit was definetly undeniable in that room. He accepted the invitation to read in it before we even asked him. He is very positive, his wife just arrived with their two kids to Denmark. We hope that we can start teaching the whole family soon!
The downside of the story is that he is really busy for the next two weeks. But he wants us to come back. I also find it ironic that he told us that he was originally supposed to be at his language class that day, when we taught him, but he got really busy. Is it just a coincidence that he just happened to skip his language class that night, and we just happen to show up? In my mind never. I believe that it happened because the Lord wanted it to happen. It was such a powerful first lesson with him. Of course the next step is to see what their future plans are, with going back home or not.
Familien Hansen absolutely loved General Conference and the Temple! We found out that the Holbek Elders ran into them on the way home, and they saw Familien Hansen taking pictures of the temple and full of smiles! We hope that they were making the goal to get there one day! We will be having a family night with them next Monday with President Bernskov (Stake President) and teaching them again this Thursday.

We stayed the Saturday night in the Frederiksberg Elders apartment after the first sesson of General Conference. Where four Elders live (Frederiksberg Elders and the Assistants). . It was a party though. Got to talk and be with Elder King, Nordfelt, Redd, Wright, Ludlow, Zalewski, and Eniss. Man it was packed!Downside is that I had to sleep on a couch haha. Woke up the next morning and had my quarterly interview with President Sederholm and started Conference again.

Other than that it has been an awesome week of finding people and Conference! Everyone here just loved the Prophet speak on the Sunday Morning Session. So inspiring and uplifting. I hope everyone can take that cousel. The world is in need of it! May we all learn and apply what we learned in General Conference. (Man I feel like I just got to Denmark and just watched General conference). Keep up the great work! Love you all! Have a wonderful week!

Hey everyone along with Elder Ballard's Following up and President Monsons challenges. I hope everyone can get the chance to get a Preach My Gospel! It is a wonderful and inspired book to help us in our everyday missionary work! Using principles of Preach my Gospel and the Book of Mormon you can have have what Elder Ballard is talking about and what missionaries feel daily. Work to invite and love as the Prophet has said!

''Can you even begin to fathom the extraordinary outpouring of atoning grace that will be ours, individually and collectively, according to the Savior's promise to all who bear testimony in the process of inviting souls to come unto Him—and then following up on those invitations." -Elder Ballard

“May we begin now, this very day, to express love to all of God’s children, whether they be our family members, our friends, mere acquaintances, or total strangers,” ...... “As we arise each morning, let us determine to respond with love and kindness to whatever might come our way.”- President Thomas S. Monson!

Have a Great week!
