| Ældste Stowe and I |
Hey everybody! It's your
favorite elder back at this boy again! Let's dive in!
I started off this week by
feeling anything but money. I felt sick from about Saturday night to Thursday
but we were working hard anyway. (I wasn't about to take a day off soooo) God
decided that he wanted to give us some miracles this week to compensate for my
sickness. He dropped us an awesome lesson with Maria! If you can't remember
her, she was the lady who just waltzed into church on her own last week. We got
a lesson with her on Tuesday. We whipped up on our bikes and I legit thought
that I was gonna black out in front of this lady's apartment building.... but
God had some other plans in store. We walk on in with one of our member friends
named Bjarne who is super dope! Maria serves us some herbal tea and we
immediately dive into how she found our church. She was told by a friend to
attend the Mormon church because Mitt Romney had voted to impeach Trump and had
mentioned his faith. Her friend of course thought that this was awesome and
that his morals were wayyyy good. His kids were successful and competent people
so that was a draw too. So I guess I'm gonna give a shout out to Mitt Romney
there. Anywayyyyy...This lesson starts bopping and the spirit was way strong.
My herbal tea was also a little strong but I didn't mind because Maria would be
called by all missionaries, GOLDEN. She told us how much she felt the spirit
while we talked about the Book of Mormon and about prophets and the Restoration
and First Vision. My jaw dropped as I thought "this is how South America
feels" and then I quickly picked it up to tell her that God loves her.
Then she hit me with the "I want to be a member of your church. How can I
do that?" Yeah, I nearly fell out of her comfy sofa. If I would have been
sipping my tea I'm sure I would have spit it out. So of course I invite her to
be baptized and she said YES! Dead. I was fully dead. So I just read the
baptismal questions to her and she just was like ah yeah, that's doable. I'm
sitting there like heck ya it is Maria. She gives us a beautiful closing prayer
and then says, "I have 2 children that are over 8 that I would like to be
baptized as well." At that point I thought I was gonna wake up from a
dream. Nah, it was real. So we're praying over a date for her to be baptized
right now. Yeah you could say it was a good week. A bounce back if you will.

This email just got way long
way fast so I'll finish up real quick.
We also went on splits to
Aarhus again with Ældste Stowe and that was a party. It's always fun getting to
know other missionaries!
I've been practicing the
piano a lot so if I get any good, just know it was because of Hymns Made Easy.
Shout out to my mom for sending that over.
Also, I finished up Saints
Volume 2 this week. Church history is so interesting and I love learning about it.
I'm so fascinated by it and it gives A TON of shout outs to Denmark so that is
lit.
We had 3 people in church
this last week with Maria, Wahida and Maria's son Stephen. That is the first
time that has happened in a while here in Randers and the members just love and
embrace them so much! I love Randers! I hope to stay here but transfer calls
are on Saturday sooooo we will see!
Just a little thought from my
dad today. Work on the things that you personally are in control of, and let
God do the rest. I have a testimony that God really will make up the
difference.
Love you all and shout out to
my Cougs for beating Gonzaga.
