This has been a very fast week. I am not even sure where the time has gone.
We have had a good week. We were able to teach Andrea Pedersen Again this week.
She shared with us her testimony/conversion story. She charishes it and keeps it
close to her. She is doing great and she is so excited to go to the temple in
October!
Me and Elder Willardson were able to finally get my bike to Sønderborg after Zone Training,this past Wednsday. We had problems during the past transfer. So we have been getting back into biking mode to save gas Money for the car. (plus the bike mode is a lot better than cars, I don't like cars =) Last Satuday we finally made contact with a woman, WHO the missionaries knocked into awhile ago. We biked out to where she lived and she told us with a smile that we were welcome to come back. Unfortunately she had guests at the time. Again she is really positive and I hope to be able to Work with her. She is catholic probably 26ish and open to talking with us. We've talked with some amazing people also this week. Many people that we have contacted on the streets have had some previous contact with the church. Me and Elder Willardson were able to find and give two more copies of the Book of Mormon out this past week to two younger and faithful people. OUr potential pool is slowly Building up. We are so happy that the Work is still hastening here in Sønderborg.
We have met with one of our less actives this past week and we will be doing service for him this NeXT week. We also were able to meet with Rabitta (19 year old woman, newly converted 2 years ago) She shared with us her Testimony and conversion story. She loves the Gospel and the Church and it was really nice to meet with her and feel of that strong spirit.
We were also able to meet with Familien Steen for my first time this week. And might I say how unbelievabley ridiculous the husband is to becoming a member of the Church. We got to know them and we testified of the Book of Mormon and getting answers through prayer. It seems that Anders has never asked if the Book of Mormon to be true. He believes it to be true because of the they joy and impressions he recieves from members of the church when they talk about the Book of Mormon. He also added ''It's clean! There is no wrong with it... each time I open it and read a few scriptures I can just feel that it is right''. We challenged them to actually use prayer to get that witness for themselves. They seem to be really busy right now with Work and stressful problems that are going on right now. We hope all goes well with them. One thing I noticed personally for me is that I found out that I have not been using the commitment pattern fully. I found that I was asking questions throughtout lessons/visits but I wasn's truly asking a direct invitation. (Such as ''Will you read this chapter this week?'') I am grateful that we are studying chapter 11 this month. It was nice to know that I have improvement to make in this chapter. It has been a bit of a humbeling week. Lesson learned everybody needs to give bold commitments! Only way one can repent is actually being asked to live it!
Other than that, that has been pretty much our week. We have continued spending time finding. We are slowly but surely finding more! We are excited for this NeXT week. Lots planned and a mission Conference in Copenhagen on Wedneday. (We get to stay in the Zone Leaders Apartment while they are in Copenhagen for a meeting tomorrow haaha) Have a wonderful week everybody! Just Keep Swimming!!!!
