That's great to hear, I'm glad the Von Scheels sent you that. I was
actually on splits in the Zone leaders area when we met with them.
They're a super nice family, and they've actually got two sons out on
missions right now. Ha ha I remember when you used to bribe me to smile
too. Believe it or not I'm not always all that happy here though, but
luckily I do know how to smile haha. I haven't gotten it yet, but I'll
be at the mission home tomorrow for zone conference so I should find
out. Thanks a ton for sending it. And Mom don't worry, I won't burn our
apartment down, I mean, what's the worst that could happen, there are
only two pyromaniac 19 year old boys with lighters and candles in pretty
much every apartment in the mission hahahaha. You really don't have to
worry though mom, we'll be fine. That's sad that the Grasley's are gone,
it seems crazy to me to think they won't always be the house behind us
with the gate in between. That will be a little deprressing when I get
home. I'm glad Nick is excited to go on his mission though and that he's
doing well. I'll be sure to shoot him an email. I'm really sad to here
about Brother Newton though. That would be really hard. I'm honestly not
sure if I could survive having to pour liquified food through my teeth
to eat. How long does his jaw have to be like that? I honestly didn't
know Brandon was in a bug infested apartment though. I haven't really
gotten any emails from him. I emailed him while I was in the MTC, but if
I remember right I didn't get anything back and I wasn't sure if I had
the right email or not. I'm glad he got out of there though, and that
he's doing better now. I'm happy to here things are going well in church
and everything too, and make sure to tell Nick Newton to get well soon
for me. That sounds extremely hard. I'll definitely keep him in my
prayers.
Ok Now I'll try my best to Answer your questions.
1.
I'm not really sure what kind of details you want about our
investigators. Do you want stories about visits, or just details about
them? I generally tell you most of the good stories as they come. To be
honest a few of the people we've been working with have kind of fallen
through a bit. It's really sad to see, especially after we become such
good friends with people and then something happens and things just
don't work out. We're teaching a lot and having s decent amount of
success for Denmark, but to be honest it's pretty depressing at times.
I'll try to share at least one good story or two with you towards the
end of my email though.
2. No, I'm not writing in my Journal every day. I was
towards the beginning, but all my journal entries were pretty much, it
was another day of misisonary work today... So I stopped doing that and
now I try to write once or twice a week. I know I probably should write
more, but I don't see the point in writing every day if your entries
are just going to be pretty much meaningless, because going back and
reading my journal, most of it was pretty meaningless ha ha.
3. I'm doing fine with the weather, it's starting to
get a little bit colder, but the sun still comes out on a lot of days. I
honestly haven't been taking any vitamin D yet, because I've been
getting plenty of sun. I've been taking the multivitamins still though.
4. I actually found some warm gloves in the roskilde
apartment that someone else left behind. I seem to be good at finding
stuff other misisonaries left ha ha. I've already found two nice scarfs,
and gotten a really nice pair of pants and a pair of ecco shoes from my
old companion ha ha. I haven't found a suit yet though, but mine right
now is lasting fine, but i'm keeping my eyes out for deals on suits.
Now to just tell you about my week as a whole. We've
had a pretty insane week to be honest. We haven't had any time to knock
on doors (except for half an hour while waiting for a member who was
late to our appointment) because we've just had so many lessons. We've
just been driving around a ton to and from appointments. I think one of
my favorite appointments was with Familien Ilskov in our ward for FHE.
We went over and had dinner and then had a family home evening lesson
with them. We talked about what we're thankful for and read some great
scriptures and watched the mormon message "in the spirit of
thaksgiving." It went really well and the spirit was really strong.
Afterward Brother Ilskov asked us for a blessing because he was feeling
sick and was going through a really tough time at work. I had the chance
to give the blessing, and it was just a really good experience for me
and hopefully for everyone else too.
We also had a really good appointment with Naja yesterday.
She's from Bhutan, and is around 26 I think. We actually met in the
church after church was over and had a lesson in the room with the
baptisimal font in it. We just talked about the restoration and the
spirit was really strong there. Hopefully she'll decide to read the book
of Mormon. But yeah those were the two most memorable lessons for me
this week. Sorry I'm running out of time and I still have to email
president, or I'd tell you more. But we also moved from Roskilde to
tåstrup this week because they're repainting the roskilde apartment
before the sister missionaries come. We also cleaned the Roskilde
apartment, and considering there have been missionaries living there for
16 years or so, that was a bit frightening, but we found lots of cool
stuff. There also happen to a whole lot of scary gigantic spiders in
that apartment. I turned on a light on Saturday and there was a spider a
bit bigger then a half dollar coin right next to the lightswitch on the
wall ha ha ha. That's probably the 4th one we've found in the past three
weeks, so the sister missionaries are going to love it there. Things are
good here in Roskilde though, but i feel like I'm probably getting
transfered on the 25th, so I hope I go somewhere good. have a great week
everyone!
