A trip to the motherland:
We went to Bornholm ! on Friday where
- we had some hold ups at borders
- we got let in and taught a sweet lady about who God is!!!
- we worked in two cities. Rønne and Gudhjem. Gudhjem in Danish mens God's home, and I know why, cause it was SO pretty!
- I tried there Ice cream. Celestial to say the least.
Earlier today as we were contacting, we stopped a young girl from France. It started off okay, like any other contact really. UNTIL out of no where a car and a duck inconveniently crossed paths about a yard away from us. The three of us stood in horror along with other passersby as we watch it lying on it's back and twitching and squirming in obvious pain.
Needless to say the contact was ruined.
We tried to awkwardly finish the conversation but this was obviously no longer the time nor the place. We ultimately opted to standing in silence.
Luckily (actually sister DeLange and I are still trying to decide if this was a good thing, it might've been more merciful to just leave it in the road for another car to find) while we were busy standing around like idiots, a simple Danish man parked his bike and gently scooped the bird up and tossed it over the the side of the road where it continued to writhe in pain.
At this point all of the passersby had decided that because the duck was closest to us in proximity, it was now our problem and they could move on. So they did.
Sister Skousen was quite concerned, and insisted we pray for the duck. She said a pray in Danish, the language that the French girl did not speak. And we excused the French girl who was also really sad about the duck, and promised her we would take care of it.
She left, and we were alone with the duck.
Now I'm not heartless or anything, but I did grow up with hunters, and I honestly all I knew to do was wring this ducks neck. I didn't know if this was a good idea tho, because obviously this is Denmark not Wellsville, and Danes will probably react differently to this situation than Spencer Felt would. And, seeing as we're all wearing tags and representing the Church of Christ and the Savior himself, this probably wasn't the time to be engaging in any kind of controversial behavior.
Sister Skousen was wrecked, we promised we'd take care of it, and killing it in public wasn't an option.
And that is the story of how I ended up calling an emergency hotline for a duck on the side of a road that just ended up flying away in the end after they told us we had to catch it so they could come and help it. Thank you for listening to my story. Never thought I would ever do that.
A lesson with Anne:
We had a great first lesson with a very kind woman named Anne Marie! She is so kind and loved hearing about the Restoration. It was really cool. We have another lesson this week and we're hoping it will go well.
Uneaten Lemon Bars:
Still no sign of life from Mona. She suggested that we meet up last Monday, but when we tried to pick a time she never texted back. Haven't heard from her since. We made some lemon bars before church and tried stopping by her place to coax her into coming with us, but no one answered the door.
A Road to Conversion:
We had a really cool experience the other day when we stopped a woman out on the street. She didn't realize who we were exactly, but she told us that she worked at a nursing home and is often around people when they pass away. She said that many times people want to hear something related to their faith. She said she had read to someone from the Book of Mormon and could see that it brought them so much peace. She said it was cool because she couldn't really understand what it meant, but she picked a page where she saw Jesus's name and could feel that there was something special. She had also been around the temple in Copenhagen quite a bit, and could feel that here was something special there.
Sadly she didn't agree to meeting, but she took a Book of Mormon! It's good to know I could be a part of her path. Every step forward counts.
Power Froskost:
We ate lunch with Pres and the Mrs. after church on Sunday. It was honestly so hyggeligt I love these people. They are the greatest and I'm gonna miss them so much.
Welp, I think that's it for this weeks adventures, Love you all!
