Tortilla Soup
Well, as always, we had a pretty eventful week.
Let's see...
-The sisters from Esbjerg came
-Participated in two different cleaning service projects
-Met people on the street gave them copies of the Book of
Mormon and
invited them to meet with us another time
-Finished preparing Kaj for his baptism
-Went to Copenhagen for a leadership council
-Set up/ confirmed assignments for Kaj's baptism (chairs,
refreshments, programs, speakers, music,...)
Saturday was definitely intense. We started off with
throwing a
surprise birthday breakfast party for one of our
investigators at a
member's house (she just moved here from Mongolia last
month). We gave
her American candy and a Book of Mormon we ordered in
Mongolian. She
was so excited to get it! She could not even believe it and
said she
could not wait to read it :)
The next big event of the day... Kaj got baptized! :) After
his baptism,
he bore his testimony about how the gospel has really
changed his
life. Ruslan came. He is from Bulgaria. He talked to us for
a while.
He wondered if he could just come to church for the rest of
his life
and not become a member. We told him he could, but he would
miss out
on blessings and invited him to read the chapter 2 Nephi 31
about why
the Savior was baptized and how it is the only way back to
Him. We are
excited to meet with him again this week after he reads to
talk more
about it.
So remember dinner at the Romanians' apartment last week?
Three of
them (Michael, Justin and Robert) came to the baptism. And
after the
baptism? They stayed to help put the cover back on the
baptismal font,
set the chairs back so everything would be in order for
church the
next day, and then started on peeling apples for an apple
pie we were
going to make. Finally, we all sat down and reviewed the day
eating
homemade tortilla soup, drinking saft and finishing it off
with
American apple pie. Oh and Cosmin was able to make it to
dinner! So it
was the four missionaries and the four Romanians once again!
It was a
great day.
Things are going really well here in Horsens. I love it!
It's a
beautiful city. I feel so blessed to be here. I know that we
have a
Heavenly Father who loves us so much that he has blessed us
with
family and friends, so that we can learn a little glimpse of
His love
for us.
I love you all so much and hope all is well where ever you
are reading this.
Med kærligste hilsener,
Søster Orgill
