Hey
yall! This week has been good(how could it not be good when youre serving the
Lord?!)!
One of
the first things that happened was I was taking my contacts out at night, and
then I go to brush my teeth, and as I turn the water on, I look down in the
sink right at the moment....I see one of my contacts go swimming down the drain...
I'm not sure how I missed that .... had to throw
the other out because you can't have one new contact and one old that's not
comfprtable at all! Lol it was a fail moment lol.
This week, there is a
train stop called Svanemøllen which one of the ladies in our ward lives on its
kinda like the very middle of downtown copenhagen sorta... Anyways we had been
at that station and had bought a bike at a used bike store there with her, then
we headed to a dinner appointment in a stop or two down the same line.. We
leave the dinner apppointment and apprently Svvanelmøllen had been closed for
at least like an hour or something because apparently someone had gotten hit by
the train... We must had barely missed it so its good we got out because a
normal 30 mintue ride home took us about 2 hours or so to get home... It all
ended u p being okay though!
We had
all the elders in our district come help go finding with us on the streets of
our areas (they actually offered to) because we opened a new area and all. So we
all went out one day for 4 hours and and we had a lot of
positive things happen with the elders . We all had a really fun
time going to different cities and then coming back after 2 hours and
reporting and keeping each other hyped when our feet got tired, or when people
kept closing doors in our face (politely of course because its Denmark). We got
3 new investigators from it so it was worth it!
The day after we actually met a
woman named Shanina who we happend to see and talk to for like 10 minuted when going
to teach a lesson somewhere else. And then a man walked by his name is Peter,
and he goes youre the mormons right? and were like yes we are! and he goes
"I could tell you were from all the way across the parking lot you have a
light about you and your posture and whole atmosphere. I really respect that
you're out here helping others come unto Christ and all. I had a friend who was
mormon growing up and we had a lot of conversations about it and I really respect it. It's not for me but keep dsoing what youre doing!" it
was super cool! Obviously we still want to find him and talk more! haha he was
so nice!
We had
dinner at a families house this week and the mother has 4 kids, and her husband
is away a lot of the time for work so they only see him about twice amonth.
Anyways it was the best dinner I've had in such a long time! The kids were so
much fun to be around! The 11 year old(3rd oldest) was so fast with sarcasm
and quick remarks oh my goodness! Their family was so awesome I loved it!
Funny
random thing that happend this week was my companion showed me something in the
Danish plan of salvation pamphlet... My bishop is in the pamphlet! actually
several of the people I've already met in Denmark and what not are in the
Danish pamphlets it's the coolest thing! lol
Last
funny thing that happened this week is that my companion and I were headed to
dinner at a senior missionary couples apartment, and we passed the road so we
stopped on the road a second, next to this fountain... Were standing
there discussing a spiritual thought for a second, and she's facing away from
me... She says yes to whatever my question was and she turns around to follow
me and there is a pole about a foot tall on the corner of the rectangular
fountain.. Her foot catches on it, and she starts falling
into the pond. I'm holding my bike and my kickstand wasn't down so I can't drop the bike fast enough..... I watch as
she in slow motion falls into the pond with her bike... Her bag which is in the
basket at the front of the bike falls in as well. I yell, oh no the phone(we
can't get a new one at the moment either if we needed one, we have a substitiue
mission president) and so she goes oh no! So we grab her bag once we get her
out of the water, we dumb it out, water pours out of it, we grab the phone I'm tearing the phone apart to get the battery out and get the water out of it on
my leg and I tell her "Grab your scriptures!!!!" and so then she goes
rummaging in her bag trying to get her scriptures out before they get too
soaked as well, and then shes finally get them out, we start trying to pull
everything out and lay it out on this busyish sidewalk people are staring at us
funny haha. We got everything wet lol. The pamphlets she had are history, but
ironically her scriptures are in really good condition they hardly got wet and
all! We saved the phone, and the map and most everything else even though the
stuff is a little crinkyl now haha. Anywho thats my fun story for the week! I
hope all is going well where you are stay safe!
