Splits
So this week we went on splits with the ZOne Leaders in Frederacia which is
on Juland! I went with Elder Hartmen who is a 6 7 and played basketball in Cali
in Orange County and he knew some of the teams we played in our tourny back in
the day! Anyways haha,and so we started out helping this greenlandic guy paint
his house and then we had a way good conversation on soccer so that was way fun!
Then we knocked liked the whole time and we had some pretty funny stories like a
guy saw us looking for his door, and he shout outed to us, ''Er i Jehovas
Vidne?'' ''Nej vi er Mormoner!'' Okay good come in! Haha it was way funny and he
turns out to be some leader of some reformed church in France or something. Then
we were looking for churches so we could ask them about if we could come to
their Bible Group class, and we go into this one church and start looking for
signs that they say that they have a Bible study group and the next thing we
know this super loud alarm is going off and i am like, lets get out of here, but
we eneded up talking to some old guy and then not getting invited to their Bible
group because we are Mormons and they dont want other churches there and all
that good stuff. So that was a pretty adventourous splits!
Baptism Date!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
We got C on baptism date!! We had a lesson with her and a member on Wednesday and it was probably one of the most spiritually guided lessons I have ever have. We talked about baptism and we were going to set a date with her. Before the lesson Elder Baadsgaard and I prayed for a date and we were not sure for a specific date, but we wanted to get it in before the transfer so we could help make our zone goal. But C pretty much said that she needs a date and pretty much put herself on date for the 14th of May! And when she said the closing prayer she asked for help to make her date!! So I am way pumped for that and this is actually happening! She has came to all of our activities this week, church, and even soccer. And her ex boyfriend who was holding her back is like totally out of the picture so yea, me and Elder Baadsgaard are way excited! :) I talked with Elder Jensen, who just served here, not my MTC comp or my last comp, on the phone and he said that she has made major progress from when he was teaching her with her actually praying so like, LETS GO! My first baptism is coming up in t minus three weeks and i am so pumped! And we were walking home from church yesterday and some reason we were talking about our friends the J Dubs and how they were trying to give her fliers but she told us she told them no, i am mormon! So lets go! Elder Reed is a happy man!
Thursday Fun
So Thursday night activities usually consists of English class and then a
different activity. We had a lack of peeps in English class, so an hour before,
us and the other Elders from the other ward, ELders hager and erickson went hard
in the paint handing out english fliers! It was sway weird that we were talking
to everyone in english and being like, yea we are americans and offering a free
english class. Everyone said they were already too good at english but oh well.
haha it was fun! After English class we had pizza aften and ate pizza with
members and investigators and C was there again! We played around the world ping
pong with a couple missionaries, C and N, who is an inactive guy but he is my
boY! He is half danish half italien and we talk about soccer for dayssss! Haha
he is way awesome! And then at the end, the senior missionaries came to play,
and sister turpin, was destroying everyone! haha it was so funny!
Soccer
Aye! We started up soccer again and it is so fun! We had
like 8 missionaries a couple members and our investigator C, and N was there! It
was way fun and we played missionaries or americans against the Danes! After we
were all so dead and sore for like the next couple days, but it reminds me
perfectly of life before the mish so i was used to it :) Oh and after we got
some pastries because you cant play soccer in denmark and not get pastries at
the end!
Well another week has past and gone. Oh i almost forgot,
