Danish Word of the Week: Blomster (blom-ster) Flowers
Hey team! I hope everyone had a
great week! This week Søster Barrett and I taught our first zone training
together! We help the sisters in both the South Jylland (You-land) and
North Jylland Zones-so we had two back to back trainings on Tuesday and
Wednesday. I love Zone Training. It's always so fun to be together with
other missionaries and learn from each other. We really have such amazing
people in the mission right now. It makes such a huge difference to have
missionaries who are willing to sacrifice, work hard, and really show their
faith in this work! We've been seeing some amazing miracles in the mission.
President's latest catch-phrase-well...he has two of them right now...but one
of them is, 'The Lord is not only hastening his work in Denmark, he is
accelerating it!' The other catch phrase is, 'Seeing is not believing, but
seeing sure does help.' Yes. Yes it does.
But anyways, zone training was fun. We talked about how to help our investigators
recognize the Spirit. It was super nerve
wracking to stand up there and act like I know something about missionary work
that is worthy to be shared with everyone-but honestly Søster Barrett and I
really felt like Heavenly Father guided us as we planned our training. So
it wasn't us at all. A lot of missionaries came up to us afterwards and told us
that our training was an answer to prayers.
There's a girl in our ward who has
been struggling a lot with depression. She plays the viola, Søster Barrett
plays the guitar, and, as you all know, I can beat box,
so we went over and played music with her the other day. It was super fun. They actually have a lot of the same
girls camp songs in Denmark as we have in the US-so it kind of turned into a
flashback to girl's camp party. Like-the sippin' cider through a straw
song, and the Mormon Boy song, Form Bananas-Go Bananas. The Classics. ...I cannot beat box.
The
best part of my life right now is that the sun is coming out and it's actually
warm sometimes! And there are such cute spring
flowers all over the place. There is a field down the street from our apartment
just full of them! We had a 5 minute photo-shoot on the way to an appointment
the other day. Also, there
is a beach within a 8 minute run from our apartment, with a Yoga rock.
I'm sending you pictures of that, too. There is also a bakery right by it, so a lot of times we
counter-act the effects of our morning run with a morning pastry. It's all about balance.
I'm trying to think of random funny
stories. Some of the Elders had a sleepover before zone training and they all
shaved their legs. We went over to some investigators, and they actually ended
up dropping us, but it was okay because one of them gave us two doctors' gloves
blown up like balloons as a parting gift.
So-that was our life this week! The church is true, god loves you, and
spring is here! Thank goodness. :)
