This week has been amazing! I can't tell you how many amazing things happened this week! I'm so excited for Christmas! And I was just in a long week traveling choir group ! We did awesome! Sister Obryant, our mission presidents wife' posted the whole concert on her facebook, and in 1 day, we had over 7000 views and over 60 shares! It  was so cool! We saw so many miracles and all it was so cool! I wish I could tell you all what happened but there's too much to write! 

I apologize my letter will be so short this week, but this week was just so good, there just is not words to describe how amazing it was.. I will be skyping home on Sunday and I am really excited to hear from them!

A little miracle is we talked to a couple yesterday on the street, and I realized just how much i've learned with danish. Because we had a normal conversation and I understood everything in it. It was so amazing! Danish is an amazing language and i'm so gratfeul for the opportunity to serve here! Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas!!

Week 24

Dec. 12, 2016

Hi everyone !
This week has been good! Some adventures have been going on in Denamrk! I'm in the travelling music singing group that we have for the next week,  and we sound so good! We have had so many good experiences with all these missionaries and helping other missionaries build their areas! 

Some fun things that happened, were that We sang a womens piece for the elders in 

the group, and they all  wanted to clap it was so good you could see how awestruck they were! It made us feel good lol. The elders also got wayyyy into choreography on this rendition fo Jingle Bells that we are singing haha it was so funny!  We also lost my temporary companions phone at one point, and I had seen an elder texting on their area phone in that same spot after that, so I look around, and O  say "I suspect it was Elder Allred in the chapel with the phone" and one of the other sisters starts laughing and says what are we playing CLUE now? lol hahha it was funny ahha. I was being completely serious but everyone started giggling hahha. also in church, a lady in the ward came up to me and told me her son had seen me and said " mom shes the one from the fantastic 4 movie! Shes the one she is SOO COOL!" ahha so I got mistaken for an acctress from a 6 year old yesterday it was fun! lol

While back in Odense before the group met up last week, there was a cat outside the church building that was trying to get into the building, so sister whitlock picked the cat up, while Iunlocked the door, then on 3 we said go, she set the cat back at the top of the stairs, while I ran in, and then she ran in but I tried to shut the door too fast to keep the cat out, and I accidently smashed sister whitlock in the doorway haha. we were lauighing so hard! ALos, SIster Player, she just got transferred to Sjælland, but she was doing laundry with her companion, and was pulling someones elses laundry out of the laundry to put theirs in, and he comes down, so in danish she asks if the laundry is his and he sas yes so she answers "oh Nah? " it means kinda like no really? but it means you know that what they are saying is true.. and she just kept pulling his laundry out as she said it and they said it was mega awkward ahha but it was funny lol.

Some miracles this week: we stopped by a lady we had met once to see what she thought about the Plan of Salvation, and she was like are you allowed to stay for dinner because I would love to have you over for dinner to teach my kids what you believe I think it so good for them! So we said yes! SO we got to go to a womans house with her 2 young kids, and then her husband and 4 members of their family also who were older and we got to teach them about why we do what we do and what we do do as missionaries it was awesome! we also had rung on a mans buzz box a couple weks ago and asked if we could tell him about why we were out as missionaries and he said he was busy so to come back... so we came back the other day, and he buzzed us up and we talked in his doorstep and he was like yeah you can come back! So we brought a new member who is from Czech Republic, and we talked with him and taught him so many things and was able to give him the Book fo Mormon! it was awesome he had so many good questions and was looking forward to meeting with us again! He is so positive and I can see us helping him come closer to Christ so much! it was amazing :) 

Hope all is well there in the US and I miss you all! Christmas is just around the corner I encourage you all to keep sharing the light of Christ with others :)

Week 23

12/5/16

Hey all this week has been good! Some fun things, I realized this week that I am very talented at launching pencils with my stretchy dress lol. My companion and I also made a line dance to a song that is in the Ephraims Rescue movie :) It was fun! 

My district leader this week asked me to teach 5 to 10 minutes about the gift of discernment.. So I planned maybe 5 minutes or so because it was the day before... And I go to teach it, I focused on prayer and how we really need to be making our prayers sincere and how to have better prayers so we can fully have the Holy Ghost with us to teach us more and effectively and follow the promptings we receive.. I thought I had been up there for maybe 5is or 7 minutes.. I sit down, look at the clock and I had been up there for 40 minutes teaching! I felt so bad! But everyone said it was great! And on sunday one of the elders got up and bore his testimony about how important prayer is and how him and his companion were taught it this week.. I was like hey he's talking about my lecture! lol. it made me feel good that it helped someone and I hadn't wasted 40 mintues for nothing! 

One of the elders, we played sport on saturday with investigators and some less actives, and the grass had a layer of frost on it.. One of the elders decided to make snow angles... He is over 6 foot, and he was so funny because he was like a 6 foot toddler, making snow angels in the grass it was so funny! 

We had a lesson with an investigator, who wasn't so sure about prayer last time! But we got him to pray at the end of our lesson, and we committed him to pray to know if the book of mormon is true... He is worried because he knows if he receives an answer that yes the book of mormon is true, then he has to change his life.. Which to me it seems as if he has already received his answer that yes the Book of Mormon is true and the word of God! It was amazing that he realized that though :) we will hopefully invite him to be baptized our next appointment! 

ALL is well, hope all is well there as well! Keep your prayers meaningful, and know that God listens to every single one, no matter how small :) ( example: I prayed for cookies on our bike ride over to our district meeting because I was so hungry amd we hadn't had time to eat and I wasnt sure if I would make it.. 20 mintues later, our district leader busted out cookies.. God answers our prayers because he loves us)

love you all!

Week 22

11/28/16

This week has been good! We started our Christmas initiative video for the church, if you haven't seen it look it up on mormon.org it is such a great video! 

This week I decided how much I love seeing little danish children in snow suits walk around its so cute haha. Also this week, we had zone training. Two funny things that happened was there is an elder who is amazing at the rubix cube. One of the sisters was trying to mix it up so he couldn't solve it, and another elder looks at her strugglingt to mix it, and he says "He can literally put it together faster than you can to take it apart" it was funny because then she accidently "broke it" and he had to put it back together with all the pieces separated ahah. The other funny thing at zone conference, is that someone asked what an advent calendar was because its part of the chirstmas initiative, and one of the elders says, its like where you can eat a piece of american chocolate behind each day before christmas, and then someone says, no its plastic.. so the elder goes "oh sorry right it's america you get to eat the little piece of plastic behind the door " haha it was really funny lol. What can we say Denmark has really good chocolate! Forget all my missionary clothes when I go home, my suitcases will be full of Danish food and chocolate lol. 

A miracle we had this week, was we decided to go "spirit finding", so we went to a spot in our area with a lot of streets we could knock, then we prayed at every inersection to know which way to go. when we got to a street that we felt was right, we prayed about each specific number, felt impressed to go to number 47, didn't work out, but then we knocked the rest of the street and the 4th house was a girl who knew a mormon guy in her class and how she was interested in it! So we got her number and are going back to her house soon! it was exciting!!!! 

We gave a card with our number on it to 2 young guys on the street the other day, a few hours later when they were drunk they were calling and leaving us voicemails, and they asked us if we knew a mormon Marc... a MORMON MARC. and they kept repeating it it was so hilarious and funny we were dying lol. I don't think they remember the following morning either lol. oh well ahah. It waas a good week hope you all had a wonderful thanksgiving in America, and ate some good food for me!
