Hey friend and family!
Well, I’m still not
caught up on my journal, but I went through my planner so I could summarize my
week J
Last Monday was
preparation day; however, it was a holiday, Anden Pinse Day. Yes, almost
everything was closed. The 3rd grocery store was opened, but they didn't have
stuff we needed. Two years ago they moved all post offices to grocery stores
(So I heard from Sister Arbon), but all the grocery stores with post offices
were closed!
The library did not have any air conditioning and the
windows weren't open (and we could not get them open) and there was not
personnel since it was a holiday so it literally felt like a sauna!
Monday night we waited for an investigator to come to the
young single adult family home evening. We waited outside for 1 hour, trying to
call and text him the whole time. He had told us he was on his way He never
came.
Anyway, the next day we had zone conference. Our theme this
month is Chapter 7 of Preach My Gospel about learning the language.
Really neat because we had the Stake President come and he
told us tips for working with the members.
Then we gave the first lesson to a few different members
from our stake.
After that, I headed out with my drawstring purple backpack
full of clothes and what I’d need for exchanges in Gladsaxe 2 area which is
right next to our area. While there, I ate dinner at an investigator’s house.
She made us Pakistanian food. I've attached a picture ;)
We talked about the Book of Mormon. She told us it has made
her so happy, happier than she’s ever been and asked us to recommend a new
section for her to read.
The next day we met with an investigator in their area who
has MS. So sad! : ( She pretty much can just use her hands to do everything and
sits in a wheel chair. We talked to her and I could just feel God’s love for
her. I didn't know her, but I told her that I know that God loved her. We
watched the Mormon message, “Mountains to Climb,” bore testimony, sang, prayed
and then I asked if I could give her a hug and I did. I love giving hugs.
Back to Gladsaxe 1st area (mine). The guy who never came to
YSA FHE… he came to church! He was 30 minutes late, but we walked out of
sacrament meeting to go get him (it’s kind of confusing since our building is a
5 story building and looks business-y and it is next to another church).
Everyone was really friendly to him and spoke English to him which was great
since he moved here a few months ago. He liked church and plans to come next
week.
And one more miracle
for the week- We were lost and trying to find the street of a less active
member while on our bikes, trying to
pinpoint where we were on the map.
This lady saw us and asked if we were from Utah and if we
were lost. She’s a Dane and used to live in the South of the U.S. for 9 years!
She was so cute and even had a southern accent (mixed with a Danish accent)
when she spoke English! She was so sweet and told us we could come back
sometime. She told us to have a “blessed day” ha ha J I felt like I was in
Tennessee again! I loved it : )
Love you all!
Med kærligste
hilsener,
Søster Orgill
