ET KÆMPEBRØD

Howdy! Mod is still in Denmark. The sun comes up at like 4:30 a.m. and goes down at like 10 p.m., so I take back my complaints about how dark it was. The work is still moving along and we are having a little bit of success, so let's dive on in. 

First off we have been trying new ways to do Facebook finding and I've been joining different groups of interest in Denmark like basketball and football groups. It's been fun trying out a lot of things! We also had a lesson this last week with someone I have been talking to for the last month! She said she would like to have a Book of Mormon and try to learn more. I was hyped and got that all set up! I also had a break in all the Bible bashing, but sadly that ended today. It was still was nice to know that I could defend the true gospel of Jesus Christ. Being loving is still key though. 

This week we had Zone Conference in person for the first time in 3 months! It was so awesome to see everyone again. We had a big announcement that we are allowed to kind of begin street contacting again... I haven't tried yet but it will be exciting. At Zone Conference we tried to social distance but it doesn't work that well with a bunch of missionaries that haven't seen each other in a while...

We also had interviews with our mission president. We laugh a lot and have a good time. We talked a lot about how I'm starting training here on the 9th. I'm nervous but very excited to see how this goes, hahaha.

We had church this last week for the first time in a while, I haven't had church for nearly a third of my mission, so you could say it was nice to be back. Passing the sacrament was weird. I was wearing a mask and gloves, dropping bread into people's hands and picking up empty water cups with a bowl. No singing either. But there was still a good spirit.

Some random stuff... Found a cool Danish windmill this week. Got some pics. Found a random piano in the woods... Doesn't work very well though. Also finally got a haircut, it was very needed. 

There is a bakery about 5 minutes away from our house that makes MASSIVE BREAD aka Kæmpebrød. And we decided to deliver it as a surprise to the members that we live with. We nearly got away when it when we heard, "What is this massive thing on the table? It's a KÆMPEBRØD!" I started to die from laughing so hard. We ended up eating some of it later with them and they gave us a big amount to take home.

The end of the Østergaard, Modersitzki power squad is tomorrow but I'll end it with a funny story. We were doing our Facebook finding out in the city but the weather wasn't very good so we stayed in our car and kept the battery on. Needless to say, our car died so we started asking people around if they had jumper cables, they didn't. We ran to a gas station and asked a guy to help and he said yes! We asked if he had cables and he said no but he thought he could start that car without... We got to the car and it is an automatic so it wouldn't work. We then had to run back to the gas station and buy some cables and run back. We had an spiritual thought in a members garden right after... We were a little late to say the least (hahah) but all went well! 

Love y'all! Have a good one! 

Love from the newest trainer in the Danish mission,
