President Pulled a Rambo/Barney 5

It has been a wonderful week! Me and Elder Ludlow were able to be on exchanges in Taastrup. We ended up teaching Familien Hansen. They are doing wondeful they are making so much progression. We were able to teach them the Plan of Salvation again and I was able to use my Diagram. They loved the baptism on Saturday in Frederiksberg. They asked so many questions to the man who got baptized. They are asking great questions, some of which have changed from ''if'' to ''when'' we get baptized. I was able to talk to Gitte yesterday at a fireside that we had at the church. She loves the idea of us doing work for our anscestors. She has been touched by the Spirit of Elijah. She is really curious on Family History. I was also able to check up on her reading. I asked her if she has prayed about the Book of Mormon again, especially right after she reads from it. She responded that she hadn't tried that before. She has read all the way up to 1 Nephi 11. And she is going to try again this week to pray after she reads from the Book of Mormon!
They working to being baptized. They want to be sure that this is correct and they want to be able to have time to get an answer, obey and live the commandments. We let them set a goal for themselves They are doing so wonderful and are on their way.
Funny story. President Sederholm came to District meeting this past week. He gave me and Elder Christensen a ride to our appointment. On the way we saw him on the street walking the opposite direction from his home. (He totally was going to burn us). President Sederholm pulled a Rambo/ Barney 5 and made a U turn. He drove past our investigator and into an alley. We just jumped out of the car and intersected him like we were already on our way to the appointment haha. We were able to walk with him to the grocery store. He also opened up a lot more than he has in the past. We went back to his apartment and he basically gave us the feeling that he is not interested in investigating the church. So it was a little sad to see that happen, but if we wouldn't have gotten a ride from President Sederholm we would have never met him. haha
Me and Elder Christensen have also been making a list of all our members in our area. We want to try to work with members more and help them out any way we can. We are going to try an idea and start setting up 15 minute stop by's with the members. We are really excited to try this and just share small messages with the members and help them build their faith.
Yesterday, one of the Primary leaders came up to us Elders and asked if we have our line of the Priesthood. She planned on asking her husband/sons but forgot (ask the missionaries they can help you) =) Luckily my father was smart enough to tell me to keep mine on me. So she took mine wrote down the names and we did a mini priesthood line with the primary. They all held a name and we demenstrated that the Priesthood started with Christ and was passed down through men, all these little kids that held their names, to me. It was a fun expiernece. I loved it. It was great to be in Primary again. I kind of miss it haha.

So unfortunately no voice recordings this week. Forgot it in my apartment. Next week. But hope everyone has a wonderful week! Thank you to everyone for everything! Love you all. Until next week. (might be next Tuesday.)
