Jul Market!!!

Temple trip to the Copenhagen temple.

What is up everybody!? Ya boy back at it again, lol.

This week went by so fast and a lot happened and I also do not have a ton of time, so like just bear with me and hope I do better next week.

We had a ton of lessons planned for this week. FIVE! (remember... Europe...) Only one person cancelled, so we were teaching all over the place and we got I think 3 or 4 return appointments. We are way psyched about that! Denmark is cold and windy with 90+ percent humidity so you could say that it was a little chilly this week hahah. That's all right though.

Some highlights this week: 

-I went on splits with one of the AP's and got to help fix a less-active's bike way up in the most middle of nowhere town. It was so fun! I also got to stay the night at their house in Ballerup with 5 other missionaries that I really like. That was a party!

-A super awesome member out here had us over to eat like 2 or 3 times in the last 2 or 3 weeks so we have been having such a good time with her! She makes way good food too!

-We had the opportunity to go to the Temple this week with our district. I ended up seeing one of the members from Sweden that knew my sister Erin from her mission and we chatted! That was a blessing for sure! The best part was that the session was in English which meant that I understood everything and was able to feel the spirit hahah! It was AWESOME!

-We went and knocked on this huge apartment complex and literally either no one was home or the ones that were said no thanks... The last dude we talked with was not feeling the whole church and religion thing but we got him to take a Book of Mormon and a card and he promised us he would read it! Super cool dude. Literally the LAST door, so just keep grinding! It'll always work out!

Thanksgiving in Denmark

-We had a Thanksgiving dinner with a Swedish/Danish/American family on Sunday and let me just say... IT WAS SO GOOD! And I got to be with my guy Ældste Cook so that was way fun! America is the GOAT hahah. 

-I am still a choir boy so that is awesome. Danish is still coming but like it is way easier. Talking isn't as easy RIP.

-We went to the Royal Danish Library and a bunch of Christmas markets and let me just say Christmas season is pure joy. I freaking love it!

Have a good week everybody! Love you all and thank you for your support!

Frederiksborg Castle

This week was way fun! We had a cool lesson with our friend who is progressing towards baptism this week. We taught the plan of salvation and she was pretty receptive! We are hoping to get her to church this week. She is getting there! Our other friend that was "golden" told us that he didn't want his info in our lesson tracker, so we told him if that was the case we couldn't teach him if we couldn't keep his info. We deleted his info and then he called back saying that he wanted to meet with us and didn't realize it. He really likes meeting with us. 

We were out knocking this week and we found a bunch of potential friends and they were all really positive so were are really excited to teach them this week. We have the most lessons planned this week out of any week since I got here. We are so excited to teach all these positive people!

It is getting colder and colder so I have been layering up a lot more. It is awesome to see people all bundled up. I might need more scarves and sweaters and I just bought some more wool socks. It is so cold and the wind makes it cold, but it is better than Utah's cold. 

Cool stuff this week literally. hahahah

- We went to Frederiksborg Castle to celebrate the mission getting their baptismal goal this year! Way cool!

- Danish is still hard but good. I am definitely getting a lot better!

- I had some really old lady ask if I had teeth and then grabbed my cheek. It was funny and I really didn't know what to do. 

- I haven't seen the sun too much this week. Looking pale as usual. 

- We deep cleaned our entire kitchen so that was awesome! It looks soooo good!
- We also built an Ikea chair and that was fun!

Have a good week!

Mod's Mission Cut

Haircut Mod

Another pday what's up!? This week flew by. I feel like I was typing yesterday! 

This week was not super eventful but that is okay! We have a good few appointments this coming week so that is way awesome! The work is progressing and we have had a couple friends in church the last couple weeks! Small and simple things! Progress is happening slowly but surely. We have been pushing hard to get 10 more baptisms by the end of the year so we are trying real hard to find the prepared! Lots of good convos but no fruit just yet.

We went and knocked on the Bellahoj apartments again, but a different building. We had slowly been working through the building with nothing more than a no thanks. We ended up talking to a guy who was way willing to talk to us and we talked to him for a good 30 minutes on his doorstep and found out he has a family and all that. We got a return appointment and gave him a pamphlet. His kid is way dope and is my homie. So we will see how that goes! Our appointments are way good. We haven't had too many whack ones just yet.

Three months on the mish with Cook

This week we had zone conference and it was fun to see and meet so many super cool people. It was awesome because almost the whole thing was in Danish and I understood almost all of it! We had some good food too. Overall awesome! We also met a guy from Germany and I was able to practice my German. Shout out to Frau Lindsay! I could understand lots but just didn't know what to say back, hahahah RIP. Guess my skills in Danish are officially better now!

I also decided my hair was way too long this week because it poured rain and we try to keep our hoods off so we don't look real shady... It was long and gross and drenched. So Ældste Madsen came over for splits and your boy Mod got his first "mission haircut" hahahah! It was funny and now it is way short. I look 13 again. I am the tallest 13-year-old in Denmark I think.

It really was a good week. Spiritual thought for the week: Don't look for the huge miracles that come from a still small voice. The Lord consistently does small things that will eventually be big. I have had a hard time being patient for these small miracles to make big huge miracles happen. As we look for those little miracles we begin to see more of them!

Love you all and have a good week!
