Surprised and Being Transferred

Well had a crazy week! Tell you all the truth I really don't remember the beginning of last week. But based on the title I think you all can guess it. We kind of made jokes that we would get an emergency transfer call in Sønderborg. Because there is an Elder in our mission who needs medical help and will be sent back to the USA for medical treatment. He will still be a missionary in our mission and won't be realsed. He is planning on coming back. He is one of my dear friends also!

But me and Elder Kinch were in the middle of our companionship study. Elder Kinch got up for a drink and the phone started ringing. The fun thing with our phone is that we can have a fake call go off. So a time is set by clicking a few buttons than it goes off in 30 seconds. We played this joke on each other saying President Sederholm or the Assistants called haha. But I looked at our phone and saw that it really WAS President Sederholm. AAAaHHHHHHHHHH! Elder Kinch didn't belive that I was on the phone until he could hear somebody on the other end. President Sederholm told me of the situation and said that he needs to move a few missionaries around. He said that I will be transferring to Aalborg to be with Elder Demordaunt! And that Elder Kinch was going to be in a tri companion ship with Elder Durrant and Elder Willardson for the rest of the transfer. He anticipates that there will be 4 missionaries again in Sønderborg by October.

I was even more shocked to be told that I need to start making arrangements fast. I thought that I was transferring on Monday. President Sederholm told me that it actually makes more sense to send me this Saturday at the mission conference!!!!! What the!!!!!!!!! That means that I have to pack all my luggage before we leave to Copenhagen on Friday! I had less than 2 days to pack everything. GREAT!!! It stinks because I didn't get to say goodbye to as many people as I would have like to. But hopefully I see them at Stake Konfernece!

so with all the madness of this unexpcected I had to hurry. So I packed everything up luckily, and rode in the getto car with All of our luggage (all 4 missionaries) It was packed and we took a train to Høje Taastrup. Dropped my bike off. Than brought me and all my other luggage to Ballerup and stayed the night there. man I got to much stuff. That was a lot to carry around ahhah. Luckily I had other missionaries.

But the next morning we travelded to Copenhagen and had an amazing mission conference by Elder David A. Bednar! It was so amazing! He asked us to read three of his talks on faith and asked us what we learned. It was really a huge Question and Answer session with an Apostle of the Lord! To know that he was 50 feet in front of me was just crazy. I saw also Elder Sakurada and was able to talk with him for just a second. But pretty much Elder Bednar called us to Repentance and to move to a higher plane without saying it. haha. It was one of the craziest expeirences ever! But I want everyone to know that I have had it confirmed to me by the Spirit that those Apostolic keys are RESTORED to the Earth! Elder Bednar and 14 other men hold those essential keys! They are the same keys the apostles of the Lord had when they were on the earth. I have felt the power and authority of that. This church is truly the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. It is being led by a prophet of the Lord. Called of God and has the right and Authority to exercise all those keys. And his name is President Thomas S. Monson. He is a prophet and this work is true!

After the mission confernece we travled all the way to Høje Taastrup got my bike and had a crazy adventure all the way to Aalborg. It was a long 5 hour train ride. But Elder Demordaunt is an amazing missionary. He is a hard worker. I am excited for the work here. It's going great so far. I love you all and wish you the best! Have a wonderful week! Love always,
