Ældste Mod Abroad: HOLLA @ DENMARKKK

Hej hej!! It's been a crazy couple weeks let me tell ya. Good times man. Good times.

We got here on Tuesday. Left America on Monday morning and landed in Copenhagen on Tuesday morning at 11 a.m. Denmark time. Kinda skipped all of Monday hahahah. It poured rain and hailed all day. Quite the welcome! I have been jet-lagged all week but we are finally getting out of there! It's been nice now that I've adjusted.

My companion's name is Elder Friedbaum. He is from Provo and is pretty dope! We were assigned to Copenhagen and I have pretty much all of Copenhagen so that is super cool! We live right by the temple and we see it all the time. It's a huge area. Lots of potentials! It's been super crazy and full of lots of miracles. We've had lots of people that have just randomly talked to us and it was super cool. The field is white! Now I only need to learn the language to talk to them. HAHAHA LOVE IT!

People here speak like 17253621x faster than the MTC. I can understand very little but the gift of tongues is real! I got to bear my testimony in Danish which was super cool! Apparently they could understand so that was cool. I wanted to speak more to the members but I can't understand many people. Taught a cool Greek lady though, she mostly just wanted us to help her move. hahahah. I'm trying not to focus on the fact that I can't understand much, instead I just try to feel the spirit and usually it gets better. Today was one of the first days that I could understand someone pretty well. Fast progression I guess. It's hard to adjust to so many differences in such a short time but we are getting there!

I started to read Saints this week and it has shown how much others suffered so that we don't have to. It's been a huge testimony builder to me! If they can do that, I can do anything!

There's been an overwhelming feeling this week that God really does love me!

Love you all! Have a good week!
