Well, it really is starting to warm up here, so that is fun.
And, the
work is going great. Here are some things that happened this
week.
-We cleaned out the baptismal font, in preparation for Kaj's
baptism.
(I'll send a pic of it next week).
-Since we only have 2 sets of sister training leaders and 4
zones in
Denmark, we attended two zone trainings and did a 15 minute
training
at both.
-We taught Kaj about the law of tithing, he has full faith
and is
excited for his baptism
.
-Apparently most people in Denmark only celebrate
Valentine's day if
they have a significant other... but we still told a bunch
of people,
"Happy Valentine's day." Then they would ask if we
had boyfriends that
sent us valentines. I told them no, but that sisters, mom
and Grandma
:) They thought it was strange when we told them we would
give
everyone valentines when we were younger.
-Valentine's day is more of a U.S. tradition. Sounds like
only in more
recent years the flower shops here have tried to make it
catch fire.
-We have a list of 22 people we are going to text to invite
to
Institute that we have recently met. Exciting!
-I went on splits for the first time as a sister training
leader.
-My favorite miracle from the week:
I was on splits with Sister Rigby. We were in Horsens, going
to go
visit a less active, but then I felt we should knock on this
one door
(we had been saying hi to everyone all day and knocking on
any door we
even had the slightest prompting to knock on. We knocked
twice, waited
a few minutes, started to walk away and then saw a guy come
to the
door. We asked what he felt was the most important thing in
his life.
He said money and friends. We started talking about how we
are
missionaries and he told us that him and his friends were
JUST talking
about how they wanted to go to a church sometime. He invited
us in.
But, it is a missionary rule that we can only go inside if
there is
another woman there or with us. We asked if there was a
woman in
there. He said yes! So, we went right in! He had a friend
that was a
girl and another friend that was a guy in his apartment. We
talked
about their beliefs, what we believed, invited them to
church and
institute and gave them a Book of Mormon. They were
surprised it was
free. We read a couple verses with them and set up an
appointment to
come back. And, we closed with a prayer. I felt they were
sincere
about it as I asked them to turn off the t.v. and explained
that we
usually fold our arms and close our eyes. They also folded
their arms
and closed their eyes as Sister Rigby prayed. I'm excited to
go back
next week! And, we are hoping they will be able to make it
to
Institute! They are all three Danish, too!
