Transfer to Sonderborg



Well it has been a crazy week happy, sad and exciting. Me and Elder Christensen have been very busy this week. We have found more people, have taught investigators, less actives and members! But all in all it seemed like a goodbye week. And we'll see each other Again week. =(
But on Wednesday me and Elder Durrant were able to go to our ''Kingsmen secret combination meeting'' in Copenhagen. We got a call from President Sederholm that he would like our MTC Group to come back together and get training and inspiration. It was such an amazing thing. And even the Icelanders were there!!!!!! I haven't seen them since a year ago! Along with many other missionaries. It was so much fun. Than afte we went to the Temple. We did a session and the temple President had a surprise for us...... We got to see the new film!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so much fun. It was amazing and insprational! After that we ended up coming back home. But it was so much. Fun. Oh side note. I found out from that training that there was a man in my in Birkerød that was a member and after 45 years, we found him and he decided to come back to the church. I found out that he was interviewved by the Stake President and this past Saturday afte 45 years he entered Again into the temple!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wow this is so crazy. The Elders in Birkerød taught him the temple prep class and he was able and worthy to enter the temple!!!!!! ''do miracles cease to exsist Nej!'' this was amazing to find out!
We later comae back and we went out to drop by some people. On the way me and elder Enniss got stopped by a Group of kids. They asked us why we were dressed up, where we came from, and so many other questions. It was really funny! One of them, she was the oldest in the Group, said ''you can speak English if you would like. If it is too hard to understan us'' No way Sister there is no way I am going to get this lame response or offer by a Young girl. I get this with every other grown up. I stayed in Danish with her. haha. But than there were younger kids that asked me to speak in English to them. Than I switched haha. It was so funny. Elder Enniss showed them how he tied his ties haaha.
We did some more service for that man that is trying to get to Arizona ASAP. He offered me a job of cutting tile. Oh man it was so much fun. He was happy that I had previous experience with that. Thanks DAD!!!!!! (And side note of Lynn Kraaimer '' the gomer'' =). Glad that I had that chance in life to learn that trade. My clothes got destroyed by the Water damage from the saw but it was very fun! OUr mission leader drove us to his home. We had dinner. He drove us and the sisters back to our homes. Man and did he drive like a mad man haha. It was so much fun. I'm seeing a pattern with Denmark drivers haha. He was so funny on the way and I am going to miss him!
We met with the Hansen Family Sunday night. They were very sad that I was leaving but we helped them out with some concerns. The mom is having a hard time praying. We tried helping out with other Things. But at the end of the lesson we invited her to read from the Book of Mormon, but after that ask two Things. 1) is the Book of Mormon true and number 2) (And should be number one) ask if she is a daughter of God. And ask if He loves her. So loved the thought and idea of getting an anwser to that. She thought that if she could find that out, than she would be able to make a few more connections. Well why not? If everyone could get that confirmation in their lives, I am so postive that the World would be a better place. Just having that knowledge practically changes the World.
Well had a crazy day with transfers yesterday. The main reason for why I didn't email yesterday was because I missed my train. And it was not my fault!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had my tickets ready and was early. I began to start bording the train when the conductor told me he didn't have room for me. I showed him my tickets and he said I had the wrong train for my bike ticket. Are you kidding me I need this train. It's called companions. I need one 24 hours haah. I don't think he would have understood that haha. So he forbid me to get on the train. So I watched a Group of missionaries I was supposed to be with, drive off. haha. So we quickly decided to buy another ticket. I almost missed the NeXT train. It came less than 6 minutes. so bought another one and loaded my luggage in and Elder Christensen waved goodbye with a smile ahaaha. So here I am on the train for the first 2 hours of my life, on my mission, without a companion. Well I really don't want to do that Again. But it was an interesting learning expiernece for sure. That train conductor didn't even check my bike ticket. I was so mad!
I am now with Elder Willardson. He has been on his mission for 9 months now. My first younger companion! He did cross country and was into drama. He is great and we have a car haah. I am excited for what will happen in the coming weeks. Our area is literally the German border. It is huge! I live on the Island of Sønderborg. If there is ever a baptism in this area we have to go to Germany because there is no baptismal font in Sønderborg. (cross your fingers =) I am serving in a branch. I hear this is one, if not the best, most beautiful areas in Denmark. And that is just about all I know about this area after 24 hours haha. Well love you all! Wish me luck =)
