Heyoooo! Happy New Years!!! 2016!!! The whole year I will get to
serve the Lord!! Lets Bring It!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh and by the way, Denmark
knows how to celebrate New Years better than America....
New Years Sales!!!!!
So the last couple of p days we have gone hard looking for the best sales
we could find (because the new years sales are crazy good here), and I found
soccer jerseys, sweet ones, for 50 percent off!!!! #blessed So i got a sweet
Denmark one to represent this awesome country!! There has been like sweet shoes
for 50 percent off, and i have heard from missionaries that you can find nice
Danish suits for really cheap! Im not really looking for anything because I will
probably be way fat next year or something, kidding, but we are just looking for
sweet suits for Guddy! So that is what my P days have consisted of over the last
month haha!
Investigators
So in the middle of all this fun I am doing here in Denmark, we have some
pretty awesome investigators! So our Chinese boy who we took on a church tour is
doing great, we couldnt meet with him this week because of new years and stuff
but i am pretty positive we will get him to church next week! Oh, and some
pretty sweet news with that, is that President is having a Chinese fireside, and
told us to invite everyone that speaks Mandarin Chinese, and our Chinese
investigator brought his Chinese friend to play with us! Also, he has another
Chinese friend that will move into the area so that means we could bring 5
Mandarian Chinese speakers to this fireside!! That would be sweet! Also, we
taught the older women from Spain this week on the Restoration, and half of the
plan of salvation! It went way good and she has a testimony on pretty much the
whole plan of salvation so it is looking positive there! Oh, and, we taught this
twenty year old kid right before Christmas which went way good and then he went
on vacation. We texted him a couple times but he never responded. We thought he
just burned us, but a couple days ago, he texted yus back and said sorry, i was
in Thailand!!! So we will meet with him this week so that will be way fun!
Service
So of course you cant go a week in this mission without doing a little
service :) So this week we did service for two older people in the ward. The
first was helping an older lady take down Christmas decorations and but them in
here storage.The result= food :) Then, we did service for an older couple in the
ward, oh, and shout out to my summer job! (that i did for like four days! So i
like pulled some kind of plant out and just put it in a pile, while i was
getting
watched like a hawk by an old man to see if i would mess up, and after he
told me i was an expert!!! The result of that= more food:) My ward is pretty
much the best in Denmark!!!!
New Years Eve
So like i said, Denmark knows how to celebrate New Years!!! So after doing
studies an weekly planning, all four Ballerup Elders went to Lars and Teresa's
house for the New Years Party! They had there family there and it was just a
huge party! Oh, and the food was way good if you were wondering! We had Filipino
and Danish food!!!! It was bomb and know i am fat :( haha! We played a bunch of
games, like guessing the word on your head game, and it was just a great time!
Then we watched the Queen of Denmark's speech that she gives every year, and i
guess she like dropped her cards she was reading and everyone was kindof
freaking out! haha it was crazy! Then we watched them light off fireworks, oh
and it was Guddy's year mark!!! So the tradition is to burn a shirt so we did
that and like surrounded it by fireworks, and alll i can say is that it was
legendary! Then we had to be home by 11 so we got a ride home and just watched
the fireworks in the apartment at midnight and OH MAN!!! It was crazy! It was
like BOOM BOOM BOOM! Like firework after firework, and everyone was doing it,
and it sounded like a war zone! Crazy stuff, and it went on for like an
hour!
2016!!!!!
So after our fun night we had a rule to stay in til 6 at night because
everyone is wasted and sleeping. So we got to deep clean out apartment! so i
guess that was fun! Not really and it took forever! But we got more sleep that
day because there was nothing else we could do! So that is always a party! Then
we went out on there was like no one out so we visited our candy man
friend!
Basketball
Basketball on Saturday was way fun!! But our recently baptized Chinese
member, i just love Chinese people :), got his fake tooth knocked out! Oh no! It
was not good, but shout out to the bishop because he is a dentist and will get
it fixed so no one at home worry! So we had like four Chinese people there and a
bunch of missionaries! It was way fun! Who would have thought that basketball
would bring so many Chinese people to be potential investigators!!
So not too much happened this week, just except you know, starting a new
year! Oh, and i translated for our Chinese recently converted member in guest
class, so that was awesome! That is awesome that you could face time lars and
Teresa! They are literary the best! I had to use the bathroom yesterday because
we stopped by an old investigator by their house and they let us in and gave us
dinner! They are awesome!o with family history, this next transfer we are going
to be stopping by members in the ward to get that going. We got our own fan
charts to show to people when contacting. We just ask people if they want to
start a family tree, and it can get more visits with investigators if you show
them yours and they want to do one after seeing that you know your Great, great,
great, great and so on, grandpa. And that is awesome the home mission is
starting that too! And nooooo! What is Katelynn doing making downstairs smell
like girl, i already had to go through that here with our new apartment, to
change it to smell like Elder! Haha it sounds like you had a party with her! Oh
and transfers are next week so we will see how everything goes with that! I love
you guys so much!!!
