Heyyyooo! It's your fav Danish Elder back at it again!

Whatta week whatta week, where to start.... Miracles are always a way good place to start, right? Right. We went knocking in this place called Bellahoj, right on the border of our area. We started on this huge apartment building at the very top thinking we would work our way down. The first couple of people weren't there and then one guy told us to leave and go find somewhere else. We laughed and said okay. The next door we went to we decided to pray about because we hadn't prayed before we started to knock. We knocked and only said we were from the church and this lady said, "Okay. One second," tidied up her apartment and let us in to teach her. She apparently had been taught before and we were able to teach her the entire Restoration, pray with her, get her email and send her a spoken Book of Mormon in Danish, with a challenge to read. It was incredible. We are so grateful for her. It took up our whole night so we were happy about that!

A church in downtown Copenhagen

We had another lesson with a lady that has a son in the ward that is about to go on a mission and her friends! We had a good dinner and then started teaching on prayer and the Holy Ghost. She wasn't feeling it too much I don't think, but that's okay. We challenged her to pray about the Book of Mormon and I was able to give my testimony of prayer and an experience in straight Danish and the spirit was so strong! I could have grabbed a knife and cut through it. She didn't end up coming to church like she usually does, but she sent a nice message saying she has a lot to think and pray about. She is also going to talk to her son a little bit more on our church and figure all that stuff out with him. That is an absolute win for us and her! Then, right after church we met this man who thought that church started at 1 instead of 10 and he was sad to have missed it. He isn't religious or anything but likes the way that churches and songs make him feel. He loves the peace of it all. We got his number and we were like uhhhh thank you Heavenly Father, wow. We gave out a lot of pamphlets this week too! That is always way good.

We didn't meet any absolute crazies this week, but one guy thought we were going to mug him. What kind of thieves look 18, have white shirts and ties on, and have our names on a name tag? We laughed and then the next person we talked to said no thanks, and as we were walking away called us crazy just for being religious and wanting to spread happiness. We were just like okay hahaha have a good day. I think people don't like us too much because they know we can actually help them, but that means that they have to change and admit something is wrong in their lives. Danes are not about all that! That's alright though! 

Danish is getting easier and easier. Now it's just the whole missionary part, hahahah!

Best Halloween costume ever

Halloween was way cool! I loved seeing kids in costumes and all the candy prices soar sky high. We went out with a member contacting and everyone was in a hurry. That is a problem with holidays in every mission!  

I read a cool scripture this week: Alma 7:23: And now I would that ye should be humble, and be submissive and gentle, easy to be entreated, full of patience and long-suffering, being temperate in all things, being diligent in keeping the commandments of God at all times, asking for whatsoever things ye stand in need, both spiritual and temporal, always returning thanks unto God for whatsoever things ye do receive. 

It was a great week! Hope everyone is surviving Utah's crazy bi-polar weather!
