The next day we had two appointments that we got burned at, so we
spent the day finding, knocking, and kontacting people. It was really funny
because at the close of our night two people drove up to us and said ''It's
raining outside''. Well no duh. So we said yah......? And than they responded
''Are you the Mormons'' We said yes than the mans expression changed and he said
''oh I thought you were some of my colleges.'' They were Jehovas Witnesses. We
are now under the impression that 'It's raining outside'' is code for something.
haha.
The next day after District meeting we did service for members in
the ward. Pulled out another tree and leveled out the back of their yard of dirt
so that they could plant grass. Than we rushed home changed into our church
clothes met up with a member and went to a ? answer session at a Baptist Church.
We got invited so that people could ask us questiions or we could ask questions.
They sang an awesome church Christain song with a guitar and piano. Than the
pastor thought the issue wasn't addressed enough the previous week so we ended
up sitting there for 1 1/2hr talking about ''Hell'' Some how judgement and the
nature of God came into picture.
the next day we were able to meet witht the Hansens again
YAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! They invited us over for Dinner. After Dinner we showed
them how to make smores! They had no idea and thought it was just brilliant.
Than our Swedish member walked in and he cooked one also and he thought it was
genious as well.´! I believe that we just brought smores to Denmark and Swedan
in less than 10 minutes haha. I couldn't help but quote the Sandlot in Danish
haha. Doesn't sound the same unfortunately haha. They are doing amazing! They
are really trying to find answers to their prayers and are searching very hardly
for the truth. They are going through a little hard time but we believe that
they really want to find God in their lives.
We had an appointment with the Afriacan lady from last week. But
she burned us and one of the members (Alexander) Drove us and with his brother
who came back form a mission, to their house and we had lunch with them. Than
afterwards we went to Roskilde and were on a Blitz Splits with Holbæk because
they had a couple appointments that they couldn't do at the same time. It was so
funny because accidently Elder Enniss left the area book ontop of their car and
they drove off! haha The area book was scattered all over the church parking
lot. we had an amazing time with the other Elders.
Sunday we stayed on Splits. I rushed Elder Enniss out the door so we
could make our train to an eating appointment. Than when we got to Borup, the
other Elders called and we found out Elder Enniss had the keys to the car. So
Elder Christensen and Durrant had to take a train to their appointment haaha. Me
and Elder Enniss got the chance to teach a couple. The wife is partially
muslium. Really interested in learning more about other religons. And she is
really curious. (And they also say curiiosity killed the cat =) they had so many
good questions and they are awesome people. Than this morning we went and did Service again for a older lady.
Not a member. She asked a member of our ward to send the missionaries for
service. We got there and we spent a huge amount of time cutting branches off a
tree and than she made us Smørebrød. Really delicous. Had a piece with fish and
it was really good. Don't know what changed in me haah.
Well that is the update for the week. Not to mcuh. Moral of the story
Service is very rewarding. I truly feel it helps in missionary work. It's
another way of contacting people and establishing relationships with the people
who may not be searching for something yet. Do good as Christ would do! have a
wonderful week Love you all!
