Well family and
friends,
Here are some things
that happened this week...
-Last preparation
day, I got to go to the Post and Tele museum! That was so fun! :) It was a free
museum all about the postal service (not the band... ha ha) and communication
throughout the years here in Denmark. We only got to stay for about 20 minutes,
but boy was it a blast! I love hands on educational museums!
-We reorganized all
the microfilm for the Family History Center in our church building so they can
now all be in numerical order
-We were served a couple shifts of staying at the church and
welcoming all who wanted to come looks at an exhibit on display in the church
building in celebration for the 10 year anniversary of the Denmark Copenhagen
temple for the church. We welcomed members and non members to come learn about
the history of the church in Denmark. They also had a video running answering
common questions with short films about temples. In another room, we had a 20
minute video running about the purpose of a temple and why we love them (this
one was in English with Danish subtitles).
Will there be a 10
year anniversary for the San Antonio temple? I sure hope so :)
-We went on exchanges
(as always, right?). This time I was here for them. Oh man, I was completely lost!
Ha ha. I've only been in this area about 4 weeks... Navigation is not my
strength... not going to lie, I miss having a GPS! Anyway, switched plans like
5 times, took some wrong buses and trains, but eventually when we were on our
bikes (and were lost), a less active stopped us. We didn't know here, but she
helped us find our way! How neat, huh? So it seemed that was all part of the
plan.
-We met with one of
our investigators this week and actually talked to her about the importance of
temples. We read 1 Peter 4:6 and 1 Cor 15:29. She read them in her native
language and then sat there silent for about 5 minutes. It made sense to her
that if baptism was a saving ordinance that those who did not have the chance
to hear about the plan of salvation in this life must have the opportunity
sometime to be baptised by someone holding the authority of God.
We should find out
about transfers today. I'm pretty sure I'll be staying here and Sister Peterson
will be leaving, but we have no clue where she will go or WHO my new companion
will be. We'll see. Love you all so much!
Happy Memorial Day in the U.S.!
Love always,
Søster Kelly Orgill
P.S. We just got transfer calls! Sister Packard will be my
new companion. Sister Pearson trained her. I've been on exchanges with her
before. She is an excellent missionary, so this will be great :)
P.S. I also fell off my bike twice this week, once with my
feet Falling in a mud puddle. It was way awkward at the 2 appointments we had
after that... I had to hide it and wash my feet and shoes in their sink.
