| Tate runs still runs a 5k every week! The race is run by members and the missionaries help out. |
First off, we saw snow on Tuesday! I was so sad
that I hadn’t seen it this year... then we saw big flakes falling for like half
an hour! It didn't stick at all, but I saw snow in Denmark! To be fair, the
cars here would not be able to last through a big snowstorm.
We celebrated hitting our mission baptismal
goal of..... (drum roll please)..... 10! My district all got together and went
to a favorite spot (Burger Shack) and then we went bowling! I played terribly,
but we had such a good time. The burgers were WAY good, the fries were way
good, and the Dr. Pepper was stellar. Overall, it was a really fun day!
Saints, Volume 2 came out this week! I love
that book so much and I started to love it even more because it gave a couple
of shout outs to Denmark! It was so fun to read about places that I am really
close to. Shout out to Church history and to Denmark!

| Burger Shack round 2 with Ældste Ogden. |
This week, I also ate at Burger Shack with ZL
Ogden when we were on splits together... that makes 2 times in one week... I
think I've gotta work out harder in the mornings from now on… WHATEVER THOUGH.
Saturday was a rough day for me. We were given
a challenge to give out two copies of the Book of Mormon for each
companionship. We were feeling good and spiritually hyped! We went out and
worked really hard for hours in the wind and rain.... unfortunately, we weren't
able to give out a single copy of the Book of Mormon. Lots other companionships
did, which is good, but it was a little discouraging for us. We did end up
stopping by a little burger place to grab a quick snack—some fries. We
ended up talking to the owner for like an hour and it was a great conversation.
Although we didn’t give out a Book of Mormon, we did end up making a new
friend! He even invited us back whenever we wanted—and gave us two free
coupons. We were psyched. It's the little things.....
We taught a lesson to a wonderful new friend
(she was a referral) that came to church last week! It was a great lesson. We
all felt the Spirit. She told us about where she was from. We talked a
lot about the similarities that we have in our religions and talked about the
Book of Mormon and its important role. We had a member there and he really
helped. I really think she will continue with the lessons. We also had a
miracle this week on Sunday. We were expecting some other friends to come to
church, but they didn't make it—which was kind of a bummer. But, back to
the miracle…I’m sitting up at the sacrament table, ready to bless the
sacrament…and this lady walks into the chapel. My companion and I didn't recognize
her. Our ward members immediately embraced her. One of the members
helped translate the sacrament meeting talks for her AND she stayed for both
hours of church! My companion and I talked with her and some members after the
meeting. She told us her life story for about an hour. We set up a
teaching appointment and gave her a copy of the Book of Mormon! It was soooo
awesome. We are so excited!
Shout out to my parents for hitting their
28-year anniversary!!
Go Jazz and have a good week! Love y'all!
