Start of another transfer here in the great land of
Slagelse!! And the fire is still rolling!!
Friends
So our area is cruising right now and we love it! We
literarry have no time to find! So Monday we ate with K again at the same
members house and we have been trying to make an appoitment with her but we
keep on getting busy or she gets sick... On Tuesday we taught M with a less
active member. The lesson was all over the place i dont even know what to
say... we talked about prophets, receiving revalation, the holy ghost... It was
way weird because the member said we were being too pushy by inviting him to read
the Book of Mormon... Just a big question mark lesson. Then we taught T down in
Næstved again and had a way fire lesson with him! We taught about justice and
mercy and he really wants to hear the Plan of Salvation! Then later that night
we taught W with a member who we are way tight with in the ward who served in
South Africa! We taught him the word of Wisdom and it went so gooood!! We read
D and C 89 and focused a lot on the promised blessings. He really likes sport
and i told him that i have kept the word of wisdom my whole life and i have
never broken any bones or anything and he really liked that. He said that he
always tried to keep the Word of Wisdom in the past but when his friends asked
him why he won't drink he never had an answer... but now he does!! Then after
the lesson W and M showed us way funny vines when me and Elder Erickson were
home and died laughing!! Probably the funniest moment of my mission! Then
Wednesday after District Meeting we had splits with Nykøbing and I went with
Elder Allred from my MTC group and we just talked how our group was so
legendary and funny stories from it. We taught I again. She is 85 and we read 3
Nefi 11 and I asked her if Mormons Bog is true and she said yes.. so i asked if
Joseph Smith was a prophet and she said yea... So then Elder Allred asked her
if she would be baptized and she said noooo! She doesn't really understand
authority adn just pushes it to the side when we bring it up! So we will see
with her. Then we taught a less active couple T and R and it was chill I guess.
We got to know them and then asked to share a spiritual thought and then i was
going to share a Mormon message and right before i played it i asked if they
can understand English... .and they say noo.. so I quickly busted out the
scriputers to give them the same message and then i asked them to read and they
had trouble reading... awkward but we brought the spirit so it was ight
anyways!! Then on Friday we taught C and S who are coming back to church. We
had a throw down W of W lesson with them because that is the only thing holding
them back! C said he will stop smoking after his birthday in a couple weeks and
we busted out don't procrastinate the day of your repentance! And they have a
grandson whose name is B who loves coming to church and could be baptized
soon!! Then we had sports on Saturday!! THANK GOODNESS!! Haha it has been too
long! So we played indoor soccer and a little basketball it was way fun! Then
after we taught W the law of chasty and he told us he knew the change was coming
so no worries there! We taught M again that night and shared His Grace is
Sufficienct by Brad Wilcox. Then Sunday came and we had four friends in church!
All of the members thought W was a missionary because he was wearing a Hugo
Boss suit haha! So much swag!! Then we weekly planned and if you guys can
remember that story of the people who invited us to dinner on Christmas out of
no where... well one of them invited us over to watch handball and made us an
old school Danish dish! So we got to learn the game of handball and watch the
world cup final! It was way cool! Then we asked her at the end if she would
like to hear the lessons and she said yes! So that was sweet!
MLC and Zone Lord Stuff!!
So me and Elder Erickson have been scheeming what we wanted
to focus on as a zone this transfer to build off of the church invited goal. So
we prayed and after a lot of schemeing and of course inspiration, we came up
with this. So as a mission there could possibly be a Book of Mormon goal of
giving out 2000 so our zone would give out 450. That would lead to 60 people in
church which would lead to 15 on date and 5 of them baptized this transfer. We
would also make a prayer list so that every morning and evening the whole zone
would pray for everyone on date and everyone close and pray for more baptisms.
We introduced this to the two districts this week and they were way stoked for
it! Then comes the even cooler part... we set this goal before we knew the
Brothern were going to make the key indicator change!!! So that is a testimony
to me that this goal was truly inspired of God!! Quick story so after we
presented the goal to to KBH district we were stuck in København until MLC so
we had to go on splits with the office Elders. So me and Elder Shuppy were
together when teh APS call us to tell us to meet them at their investigators
apartment for a last minute service project. So we get there and they are not
there and they investigator is an older woman from Greece who was a little
crazy haha! She found this fridge in this storage place and made us carry it up
like four flights of stairs... found out it didn't work... and then carried it
down again... haha me and Elder Shuppy were ragging but when i go on splits
with the Aps in the future she said she will make me dinner! So MLC was way
fun! There was so many of my good mission buddies there! It was way clutch to
catch up with Elder Bennet and Elder Nielsen! So what we talked about at MLC
was the key indicator change, the schedule change, working with less actives,
and helping members use facebook to spread the gospel to their friends! It was
way fun then after we met up with W because he studies in København and he took
us around Støjet and Ny Havn and we saw the little Merimaid! Way fun day!
So zone træning is on Wednesday in Roskilde and we are
training for like 15 minutes about the new Book of Mormon goal and we have to
answer all of the questions the zone has for the new schedule change, wish us
luck haha! No way Rudy got baptized that is so sick!! And so that will be what
our zone training will be on and the more flexible schedule will be pretty
clutch. And we will watch that devotional for zone training this week as well
:) And that is crazy Gonzaga is ranked third in the nation! Well fam i love you
guys and remember to open that Book of Mormon every day!! ;)
