Kolding! Cook! Århus!

Whatta week whatta week! Where to begin??

This week I had so much fun being on splits with my guy Ældste Merrill. He is the ZL over my zone and he is in my district. We have a lot of good times together! And whenever I go to Århus I get to see Ældste Jensen! We had a great time with both of our companionships and we snagged a bunch of stickers and made a sticker wall back in Randers! We were trying to make the Randers apartment look cool because it is a little rough looking, hahaha, so that was a lot of fun!

Ældste Laurence is district leader so I got to go to MLC down in Fredericia and that meant I got to go on splits with Ældste Cook! We got to drive out to this city called Kolding and that was a lot of fun. We ate at a place called Burger Shack and it was soooo good! I love a good burger! We met a crazy guy out there too! It was a lot of fun to have him talk to us. Ahhh man, I had a good time! I mostly just liked being back with Cook, I missed that guy!

Not much else happened! Ældste Laurence and I had a good time this week and are chilling! We are hoping we find some more friends this week!

Love y'all!

ÅRHUS STREET FOOD

This week was kinda quick and not much happened. Let's start at the beginning. 

I had a good couple of days this week and had a lot of fun. We got to go out and visit a less-active with a member of our ward. We had a ton of fun and ended up having a good 30-minute conversation! We just got to know him and I think we got somewhere in the conversation. It was just way refreshing.

We also got to go to Århus for a district activity. We got some way good food from a place called Århus Street Foods. It is the coolest place and the best atmosphere that I have been in for a while. I got to go to this way good spot called Duck-it! I got a duck burger and some duck fries! It was incredibly good and I ate way too much. Then I went on splits with my guy Ældste Jensen. We got to walk along the coast of Århus and see the ocean and a way cool wakeboard park! I wanted to do it but decided it was too cold. We had a good time and talked a lot! I love that bro! We also got to help the Århus Elders move in with the ZL's in a brand new apartment. It was a very fun time lifting all the heavy stuff hahahah. I had a really good time. It is always a good time with Ældste Jensen!

Also some big news! I got a new companion! I said bye to Ældste Millett this morning and got my new companion Ældste Laurence from Bountiful! He is super sick and he just got out of exile in Skive. hahahah! Randers is still exile but I think he will like it. We are big chilling! We get along really well and we have some big(ish) plans!

Funny experience this week! We have a downstairs neighbor who really doesn't like the missionaries because the past missionaries here were loud. I thought to give her a note and some candy to apologize and to start to become friends. It was nice to think through it and problem solve it. 

I ran another weekly 5k too. Not a ton else happened... hahahahaha.

Love you all and have a good week!

No stress.

Haircut Mod

And we are back again! Gotta love Mondays! This week was really fast and I don't really remember what happened so I will give it my best shot.

We were out contacting and found a man named Anders. I decided to talk to him because he was looking at all the birds out over the river. There were huge flocks and he loved them! I had this convo with him about birds and how he loves nature and how he was a guide back in the day for a solid 10 minutes. He wasn't interested in our message but I got to see God's hand that gave me the message of "he needs a friend, someone to talk to." Anders and I are now friends and I won't forget him. I don't know why but he was the first person that day to be nice to us and it was one of the first times I saw the gift of tongues work completely.

We had another lesson with Shelly and Niels and we had planned a baptismal invitation but the second the lesson started we knew that we shouldn't do that. It was helpful to see that guidance in our lesson. I also had the opportunity to give Shelly a blessing of comfort for her heart. I have never been so guided in word and thought before. She ended up having a little mini vision of angels and all sorts of awesome things. She turned to me and said, "The Lord used you to help me, thank you." She was crying and I was nearly crying and it was so awesome. It was one of the best experiences of my mission so far. I was so scared to give that blessing. I had given only one blessing before that and I was terrified. God really does guide us and comfort us. He uses us to bless others and I am so grateful for that opportunity to help others come back to Him!

Splits with ZL Merrill

We also went on ZL splits after district meeting and the words "no stress" came to my mind and out of my mouth a lot. There is no need to stress! It's the Lord's work! He has got this. We just need to open our mouths and make that effort to be better every day. Even if it is just a small goal of smiling once that day! God's team can't lose! No stress!

Nothing else really happened this week so thanks for reading!

Randers

Ældste Cook, one of Tate's MTC companions, found
a mannequin in Copenhagen that looks just like Tate!
I had to post this picture too. The likeness is crazy!
