Restartttttt

Hejså! What's up?

Week 8 or so of quarantine. I've lost count tbh. Denmark is kinda opening back up so things are looking up, back on the missionary grind soon? Maybe. 

The reason I called this email restart is because I've nearly restarted all possible aspects of missionary work. Everything from knocking to member work and even the people around me. It is all very, very different. And I guess I should expect some growing pains with all that but I'm kinda getting in the groove. This week I started to meet some of the members here in Allerød and they are so awesome. They feed the missionaries all the time. I haven't made a dinner all week! How whack is that? The Facebook work is good. There are so many nice people on the Internet, regardless of if they want to hear the gospel of Jesus Christ or not. I'm happy to have them as friends!

In-person district council

Guess which mission is the first in the world to bring back in-person district councils... If you guessed Copenhagen Denmark. You would be correct. Nice to be back seeing the other missionaries again and reuniting with my old comp Ældste Millett! Good times! 

This week we were able to do some service for some non-members that live close to one of our awesome members! I got to take out a massive bush, some tree roots and weed a big garden. It felt so nice to be outside and doing things. I felt like I was back working in the yard and wow, I never thought I would have missed that.... but I did! They are some nice people too!

I read a decent bit of the Old Testament and I wanted to share a scripture I ran across this week. It comes from 2 Samuel 22:29. For thou art my lamp, O Lord: and the Lord will lighten my darkness. What a fire scripture! Straight forward and to the point. The Lord has control. 

As a mission we had John Bytheway give us a Zoom fireside because his son is in my mission. It was fire. He spoke about keeping Christ our main focus and not letting the darkness eclipse our light, or in other words, don't let your doubts block out what you know to be true. Kinda goes well with that last scripture eh?

Anyways that's all that happened this week I think. Denmark is getting pretty! 

Love from the land of the Vikings,

It felt great to get outside and do some yardwork!
