We spent much of the week all over Denmark AGAIN. Which I guess isn't saying much, since you could literally drive from the west coast to the east in 3 hours, but like, that's just 3 hours where you're not baptizing people, what a waste, am I right?
But anyways, After finally making it back to Herning at the beginning of the week, we headed up north to Frederikshavn and Skane, where we had a meeting with the missionaries up there, interviews with President, and visited a famous lighthouse. I will never forget how hard that wind blew, nor will I forget the comical scene of our district leader Elder Redd doing backflips down one of the sand dune hills as a group of Germans clapped for him and requested "more flips!" In broken English. Klassisk.
We greeted the following day at 4am to head on back to Copenhagen (I drove and did just fine thank you very much,, @søshepworth) where I would take my required language test so I can stay in the country. Dejligt. Test took about 20 minutes and was pretty simple Danish #blessup🙏. Plus I got to be on splits with my true homie, Søster Hepworth #perks.
After we FINALLY were back and settled Sister Paras and I were glad to just jump back into the work. We were blessed to be able to give out 3 copies of the Book of Mormon and even got one phone number and one address! God is so good!!! We also found a little hidden gem of apartment buildings to knock close to our place, we are so blessed!!
Valentine's day isn't huge here, but because of American influence, its popularity is on the rise and people definitely know what it is. Because of that, we decided to try our luck in giving out some Valentine's and use our origin as an excuse to do so. We gave out cookies with scriptures about God's love attached. It was fun! Most people were pretty confused and tried to pay us for the cookies..... but we got some good conversations out of it and made people smile! We also brought some cookies to people we teach, some less actives, and then to the senior missionary couple we ate dinner with later that night. It was a fun day!
I hit my half way mark on Saturday, and we celebrated by getting some Burgers:) its crazy that I've been here that long!!
I really enjoyed church on Sunday. Members here have tough shells, but once you crack them a bit, you're in for life. I have finally been here long enough to feel like I'm close to a lot of the members and I can't tell you how much I love all of my cute Danish grandmas!!! Haha! Translating this Sunday was fun as one of our speakers was a visiter from København(Copenhagen)! Haha he had that fast sharp city accent that took me back to my time in training, and this time I could understand most of it! It was nice to see that I've learned something🤣 We also were able to get a ton of member/missionary finding splits planned for the week and we are way pumped for that, especially cause we don't have any appointments planned yet.
Although we were blessed with a couple days of calm and sunshine, we unfortunately spent those days in Copenhagen and Frederikshavn. Other than that the wind and rain has continued to rage on. Church was cancelled again up north to protect the members safety.
But yeah, jeg elsker jer, I hope you're all loving life and those around you! I know Christ lives!
Med et hjerte fyldt med kærlighed,
Søster Felt🦋🇩🇰
