This week has been a pretty good week. I was
still getting over my cold but we still went out everyday and were out talking and having lessons... I didn't realize how much I don't like being the needy
perosn and all that. There were days when I should have stayed in with my
cold knew we couldn't, because talking to the people and teaching them
about the gospel was more important. Its funny what you learn about
yourself as you are forgetting yourself. This week we were talking to the man
from Ghana who is supposed to get baptized the 25th of September, and he
dropped off the face of the earth for like 3 days we had no idea what happened
to him.. We had stopped by his apartment so many times and he wasnt there it
was so unlike him.. At one point we were worried he just didnt want to talk to
us, so Søster McArthur lifted me up so that I could see in to the top window of
his apartment to make sure he wasnt home because we really couldnt tell and we
were really worried about it... Safe to say he wasnt home at all actually lol
but i was a fun experience being boosted up to creepily look in the top
window...
We also met a woman this week named Lillian who the stake president
had called us and told her that she had wanted to remove her records from the
church since the beginning of summer and he thought that we as sisters could
talk to her and hopefully get her coming back to churhc. We were terrified
since it was basically the two of us standing between her and having her
records removed.. We decided to show up to her house one day which Danes don't
like people coming unannounced... She wasnt there so we stopped by her again
like 4 days later and she was home! She had a buzz box, so shes like who is it? in Danish and Søster McArthur was like its the sister missionaries! And she
buzzed us in! We talked with her for about an hour and got to know her a s a
person she is so sweet and has such a strong faith! We were so blessed to get
in to talk with her. We asked her questions about faith and she
even let us share a scripture from the Book Of Mormon! That book is the
greatest book on earth thats for sure! She even told us that she still
believed in the churches teachings even though she hadnt been in about 30
years, but that since she was old, it was easier for her to go to the church of
denmark because it was right across the street. It was awesome she is so
amazing! And we have another appointment with her as well in about 2 weeks so
hopefully that will go well as well! We actually had brought her cookies
and we tried to give them to her but she said she had enough sweets so we ate
cookies on the bike ride home and it was a nice treat since we hadn't eaten all
day!
There is another man named Ryan who we are
hoping to keep teaching and he said that if he joined any church it would be
the Mormon church but he couldnt because he couldnt give up his coffee. But hes
raised all his children on Mormon standards and principles it was so
amazing!
Anywhoo this week was so good and hopefully
this next week will be even better!!! Always a work in progress on the mission
to talk to others and obring them closer to Christ.
