Thanksgiving Miracles and Blessings

Well me and Elder Warner were able to hit it off great. The transition was really smooth and we love being with each other. We have both made finding our prime thing to being doing together. We started the week by making a goal of contacting two people each time we leave the apartment (and not coming back in until we do so). Even when we wanted to buy some butter at the store right across the street >=( I actually contacted a man who works in the store in our building. He knew us and walked away haha. We have seen a huge success with this. We have found and talked to many people. By Friday we both decided to up the goal to five people each time we leave the apartment. We tried ever so hard to get two new investigators this week, but we came out with only one. We tried our absolute best. But we both know we can do it this week!
As far as things are going, things are going great in Viborg. Elder Warner even says that we both have turned things around since we've been together. We are excited to be out together.

It was great to go back to Aalborg for the baptism of Brian Ilsø. It was a funny experience for me because with my time there I felt a prompting from the Spirit. That my responsibilities with Brian and Aalborg are done. It actually gave me a confirmation that I am truly called to serve in Viborg right now in this part of my life. But the Baptism was a great expiernce. Me and Elder Wilsher had to push Brian down a little to make sure that he made it under the water all the way but Brian had a great time and could truly feel the Spirit.

Thanks for everything. This is going to be a shorter email but I just wanted to say Happy Thanksgiving! This is the only thing that I would want in my life right now is to just serve the Lord. I am so grateful for being a missionary, great family (that includes friends, hey we are all brothers and sister right?) and the people that I am serving everyday. These things have been huge blessing in my life. I hope that everyone can feel of the blessings and see the blessing that they are in other peoples lives. We are all blessings in the Lords eyes! Have a wonderful week!
