Hey Everyone,
Sorry you
were all worried about me mom, and dad. I was fine, I got over being
sick after two days and it definitely wasn't dehydration. I admit I
probably don't drink quite enough here because there aren't water
fountains anywhere, and they charge a stupid amount for water. But when
I'm at my apartment I drink a ton, and whenever we go to members houses
they offer us stuff to drink. But I could tell it wasn't dehydration. I
got sick this week too though, and it was a much worse disease. I had a
super sore throat was super tired and had a major headache and tons of
congestion. My companion said when he first came to Denmark he got sick 3
or 4 times in the first couple months too, so I guess its not that
unusual. I was so sick of being sick that I just went out and worked
anyway though. I'm glad I did too, because we were able to meet with
some members that we hadn't met yet. We did end up running about a third
of a mile to catch a bus though, and that made me feel terrible enough
that I had to stay in the next day. I feel fine now though I just have a
little bit of a cough and sound like batman when I clear my throat. To
be honest this week has kind of sucked though. We literally have no
investigators and I don't feel like I'm doing anything of worth here. My
companion is super mad and frustrated with how they set up our area too
and he says it's the worst area situation he's ever been in. I guess
the ward mission leader helped pick how the area is, but we really don't
have very many active members at all in our area and just things aren't
working out so good for us. I honestly have no desire to email right
now either, I'm sorry. I'm just kinda frustrated and don't want to rant
about how crappy our week has been. So I'm sorry if my email is short.
don't worry about me though, I'm not thinking about wanting to come home
or anything, and I think part of the reason president Sederholm might
have been inspired to send me here is because I feel like you'd
literally have to chop all my arms and legs off to make me leave my
mission haha. We actually had a meeting with him and I told him how
discouraged I was and he told me that earlier that day he had felt
inspired to share the story of Aaron, Ammon's brother, with me. When Aaron went to preach to the Lamanites, he was rejected and cast out of
the first city he visited, and he was thrown into prison at the second
city he visited. After that he had great success though. Hearing
president say that kind of scared the halibut out of me, because if there's one thing I've learned so far on my mission it's that mission
presidents are inspired men and receive lots of revelation. So I'm
hoping that wasn't a literal story for me. I think what it means though
is that I'm going to face a lot of discouragement and hard times, and I
need to be patient and push through all of that before I have the better
times. So I hope things work out eventually and I'm trying to stay optimistic, but it's pretty hard.
I haven't gotten a suit yet, because I'm looking for deals. I
could get an H and M one for about 100 dollars, but the H&M ones
that are that cheap don't fit me very well so I'm trying to find a sale.
And not going to lie I'm never going to get my suit dry cleaned here
because it costs about $100 to get it dry cleaned. I only wear my suit
to zone conference and to church on Sunday though so I really should be
fine. The biggest problem I'm going to have is not growing out of my
suit pants haha. I did buy a nice winter coat for today for about $100
today though, so that was good. You can just send the package to the
mission office though. It's not too far away from where I am so that
should be fine. I'm pretty sure I'm going to stay in this area though
because my companion is going home and I'll be the only one that knows
this area. I guess maybe this area will get changed though, so I think
it would be best if you just send it to the mission office. I'm sorry,
but that's all I want to email about for now. So have a great week.
Ældste Redd
