Ældste Mod and the dynamic trio (part 2)

Found some sunglasses in the van

Hey everybody! It's ya boy back at it again..... 

Whatta week, whatta week. Time is cruising everyone. CRUISING.

This week I got done with transfer number 1 out here in the land. We had some cool stuff happen too, so let's start there. First off, last Pday we went to a place called Tivoli. It's basically just a massive theme park and it was super dope. We went with a bunch of missionaries and our friend Holly and we rode on a roller coaster and went through a haunted house. Lots of fun for missionaries hahahah. 

Tivoli
Okay time for some spiritual stuff: We were out contacting on the streets and we were talking to this man who was a member of the church of Scientology (he tried to convert us) but anywayyys there was this dude that was watching us for a while. He looked way friendly and I thought he was trying to walk past us. He was not... He waited for our convo to end and then he just walked up and asked if we were the Mormons. We gave him the "uhh yeah kinda" and proceeded to talk to him for like 30 minutes. It was incredible. He is fluent in Hebrew and has all these good qualities that scream GOLDEN to us so that is cool. He knows some of what we believe in and he wanted to meet again and gave us his number. You have to understand in Denmark that DOES NOT HAPPEN. People do not interact with people on the street at all. So I am hoping my guy will pull through and actually want to learn more. He loved our names and our "glow and brightness we have about us." Yeah we were way happy! 

Ældste Friedbaum and Ældste Mod
Some bad stuff that happened.... We had a friend named Effy that was an absolute Hygge monster. (AKA she just likes to talk about non-missionary stuff for hours and then kills the convo when we try to teach). She is this older Greek lady. We went over to teach her and she just had us move some heavy stuff down 5 flights of stairs. We didn't even get a lesson in so that was rough. We ended up telling her that we wouldn't be coming back and that was hard to reject someone who just wanted friends. She is so nice but just uses missionaries to move stuff for her. So yeah that sucked bad.

But on the upside I got an additional companion now that transfers are over! So we are bringing back the dynamic trio from the MTC... kinda... So Ældste Friedbaum and I now have another companion from Amager. His name is Ældste Farr and he is dope. He was our old District Leader so yeah, we like him!

Danish - still whack (but had a full convo with a girl we met on the street about the US and Denmark so like it's coming) 
Denmark - still raining 
Ældste Mod - still living 
Sunlight - fading, but this place is super dope. I love it!
Songs I had stuck in my head this week: Right Back // Khalid, Panda // Desiigner (ya idk either) The Night We Met // Lord Huron

Love you all! Have a good week!
