Remember the MAN OF STEEL

It has been another wonderful week! Me and Elder Ludlow have been able to get a hold of investigators, that we haven't had any contact with for the past transfer, and they are open to meeting again. We also were able to go to Tivoli this past week! It was so much fun! We actually were able to talk with a few people about the church! I also feel like I got jet lagged with all the rides. Been a whie since I rode that fast.
We were able to teach Familien Hansen yesterday. We watched the Restoration Film with them. They actually had to pause the movie right before the 1st vision. While waiting for one of the family members to help their kids out, they talked to us and agreed with everything that the movie had already said about confusion with other religions and if we ever need answers we just ask God. The mother said that's a good thing to understand. We watched the rest and the Spirit was so strong. We asked them what they felt, we were able to help the mother and the rest of the family to recognize the Spirit! The foundation is now there. We believe they didn't have much of a foundation before. They accepted the challenge to actually pray about the Book of Mormon. We have another appointment with them for next Thursday. We are so excited for what will happen!
Yesterday we also were able to meet with the Africans that we taught last week. We only were able to meet with 2 out of the 3. But they are very open and accepting. We actually were able to invite them to baptism and they accepted when they find it to be true!!!! We set goals with them and now will be teaching with them weekly and they want to come to church.
Other than that, that's pretty much the update. We were super busy this week. We had stake conference and I was able to see some people from my previous ward. So good to see them again and chat with them.

We have survived transfers. Elder Christensen and I are in Taastrup together. I dropped off Elder Ludlow this morning. Than me and Elder Eniss, from Holbæk were able to run a few errands, laundry, and we just chilled at the mall. We than went to the train station and picked up Elder Christensen and Elder Durrant. Elder Durrant almost missed his stop and almost didn't get off the train haha. So funny to watch. But me and Elder Christensen are now serving in Taastrup. I am so excited to be serving with him. He already seems like an obedient, loving, hard working missionary. I love him already! I look forward to see what our time together will accomplish. It was sad to see Elder Ludlow leave. I hope and pray that me and Elder Christensen can continue on with the work that Elder Ludlow and the previous missionaries have worked so hard to accomplish.

Well hope you all have a wonderful and fatastic week! I know that we have. What a blessing and an honor to be serving the Children of God! I don't know why but this whole entire week I have been thinking of this quote. I believe it applies to Christ a lot and us as members and missionaries.:

'' You will give the people of Earth an ideal to strive towards.(I like to say 'Hope' =) They will race behind you, they will stumble, they will fall. But in time, they will join you in the sun. In time, you will help them accomplish wonders.''- Man of Steel!

Let us all work and strive to be our best. What a wonderful blessing to know that we are in the Last Harvest. It is here and I am grateful to be serving my Father in Heaven in it! Thank you all for your love and support. These missions really do change lives! Have a wonderful week! Until next week
