Me and Elder Wilsher had an interesting experience last Wednesday. We biked out to vodskov
which is like a 30 minute bike ride. Than after a lesson with a less active we
thought we could stop by another which wasn't too long from the city. (about 20
minutes =) ouch. Didn't feel like it. But we biked out there and missed the
house. Turned around and a man pulled up in a truck. He asked us ''Hey elders,
you looking for me?'' ''that depends do you know us?'' haha. He just invited us
on in like we were family. Has an awesome Harley Davidson. Come to find out that
we just 'coincidently' timed that perfectly. He actually left and forgot a few
things and happened to come back home just at the moment we showed up.... yah
right coincidence. haha
Turns out that he is an excommunicated member and has had a desire to
come back to church. He says that he has tried many times. He owns a bar, leaves
and somebody calls to have him come back and break up a fight haha. He came to
church yesterday with his son.
Ironically we timed that as well perfectly because his son wants to be confirmed
in a church. (Danish possibly) But he's been advising to get baptized and
confirmed into the Church of Jesu Christ of Latter day Saints. Because it is a
place where he could possibly come back to and be active in if he desired. Yah
ironically. Don't think so!!!! They both enjoyed church and we hope to meet
with them again. It was sad we lost track of time and we had to leave for an
eating appointment with some members. We biked as fast as we could that hour
long sucker. We showed up 30 minutes late. But we called ahead of time and told
them we were with a family that they possibly knew. Come to find out that it
turned out to be there Uncle that we visited and they were all for joy that we
were late because we found their family again!!
Had a Halloween party on Friday and a huge shout out to my Grandmothers famous chili
recipe. It was a huge success! And got some actual home cooking! We dressed up
as a motorcycle gange (because of our Harley Davidson buddy had some coats and
helmets we could borrow) =) He references is the key haha.
But just so you all know Miracles do happen!!!!!!!! Just get out there
work and open your mouths and the people who are ready will just come!
Love you all! Have a great week
