Week 78 - From Now On

My last week was one of the best and hardest weeks probably ever. And let me tell you, out of all of the difficult things I've gone through out here, going home has been the hardest.

Christian og Josephine: Great eating appointment with a newlywed couple in the ward. It went just about how you would imagine an eating appointment with a newlywed couple would go; lots of lasagna, and lots of pda. They were super nice tho and we even roleplayed a lesson with them. It was cool to see how you can feel the Spirit even when it's not a real lesson.

Splits with Hepworth: Love her oh my gosh. She and her comp came up and we got to have one last hurrah working in Lyngby together. Found some chill people and ate some blue taco and I cried so much saying goodbye to her. I want that redheaded Russian in my life forever.

Roskilde Blitz: Had a fun splits in Roskilde, it was good to see everyone there. I got to be with the newly baptized member Natasja, and it was super cool to hear her story! It was fun to knock with her. Also went on splits with Celine and Mikala this week. Super fun.

Elsker hver andre: A 99 year Jehovah's Witness ripped us to shreds on Friday. Shut up Mette.

En gammel ven: Okay on Sunday we walked into the church and I went to hang my coat up and guess who I see?? None other than freaking Søren from Slagelse!!! I lost my shiz. I love that man. Søster DeLange and I went running over and he greated us with his classic elbow bump.

We had a good chat about Slagelse and the work down there, and then I told him I'd be leaving on Tuesday. He was so bummed haha. He then grabbed my shoulder and peered over my back,
"Aww, you got your wings!" He said.

Lol my heart melted. Love him.

Then there was this awkward moment where Lars, our current mission leader came walking over so he could get us for coordination meeting.. and they lowkey fought over us. Lol.

Kage hos familien Lindberg: Last night before going knocking we dropped by the Lindberg's place, honestly such homies. I love them so much. Anne Marie made pastries and rolls and we had a nice goodbye. Bishop and Christoffer told stories about going home and there favorite areas, and we had a great talk about our grattitude for the Savior.

Den sidste find grind: We had a great finding day Sunday night. Gave out two Book of Mormons, got a phone number, and made two appointments. We were able to complete our streak of giving out at least one Book of Mormon everyday of my last week, so that was sick. Stopping that last person and knocking on that last door honestly didn't feel real. But I felt a lot of gratitude and at the end of it all it was a really happy day.

This scripture hit me really hard this week:

"And the days of the children of men were prolonged, according to the will of God, that they might repent while in the flesh; wherefore, their state became a state of probation, and their time was lengthened, according to the commandments which the Lord God gave unto the children of men. For he gave commandment that all men must repent; for he showed unto all men that they were lost, because of the transgression of their parents,"

If I were to sum up the biggest lesson I learned on my mission, it would be this:

The whole purpose of this life is to repent. We can't return to God or find happiness in sin. But we also can't repent by ourselves. It is literally impossible for you or me to earn or even deserve heaven. We need our Savior Jesus Christ. We need his mercy, forgiveness, and grace.

Everyone around us needs him to, sometimes they just don't know it yet. That's why it's so important that we share our what we know, and that's why missionary work is important work.

With that, I would like to invite you all to do three things:

1) Repent daily
2) Remember your Savior
3) Share your testimony of Him

"And now, after the many testimonies which have been given of him, this is the testimony, last of all, which we give of him: That he lives!"

Thanks for everything, Love you all.

Med et smil på hendes ansigt og et hjerte fyldte med kærlighed, For one last time,

Week 77 - Lord, I Would Follow Thee

Another week for the books honestly.

We had two friends at church which was a needed miracle. Jørgen and Jørgen. Such homies. They really enjoyed the meeting and one of them is going to be eating dinner with out mission leader Lars this week.

We also had an eating appointment with a member from the Philippines. OH MY GOSH THEY DO FOOD SO RIGHT. She even invited a friend. That was so sick. We taught her about the Book of Mormon and gave one to her, and we're planning on meeting up with her this week.

I also went on splits with sister Paras, an old comp of mine. I respect her so much. I loved seeing her confidence when we were out contacting and knocking doors. I barely had to say anything 😂 I loved supporting her and seeing how strong of a missionary she has become.

While we were out contacting in Roskilde, it started raining really hard. We found ourselves in a park, and thought, "Wow, there's definitely going to be nobody here," but we decided to keep trying and have faith. And there was a woman walking through the park who had recently lost her daughter and really needed to hear about the Plan of Salvation! It was bomb. We got her number and we were so pumped.

Okay: and the other day, I read in the Book of Mormon in Ether 2. In this story, the Brother of Jared is going to be traveling with his family and they need light. He goes to the Lord and prays to ask for his help. God answers, "Well, what would you like me to do, so that you can have light?" And the brother of Jared comes up with his own plan and asks the Lord for help with it. I think that's a story we can all use and apply in our daily lives. Instead of begging God to solve everything for us, sometimes we need to come up with a solution ourselves and pray that God will assist us in our efforts.

I know that God lives and loves you. Do believe me? Give him a call. He'll answer. I know that too.

Anyways, love you all en helt masse. Gud være med dig til vi ses igen.

Med kærlig hilsen og en knust men taknemmelig hjerte,
