F-HAVN

Hey y'all! What's up? This week wasn't anything too special, but I have some fun stuff to share, so let's hop on in!

Last Monday I drove all day to get to my new area in northern Denmark. It was cool to see the countryside and we got some Burger Shack (so nice)...and I just got to chill with Ældste Jaursch all day. That was a massive W! We got to my new area, Frederikshavn, and it is a cool little coastal port town. Honestly, it's a quiet little town, but I have some islands in my area that I really want to visit. The pictures from my time here should hopefully be pretty nice. I am with Ældste Leland from Oregon. He is a pretty cool guy. We should get along just fine!

I got to play some beach volleyball and soccer this week with some members, their kids, and some friends. For those who know me, I LOVE VOLLEYBALL. It was so fun to get back out there and just have a good time. I think I surprised some of the members--but mostly myself--because I actually remembered what I was doing with a volleyball hahahah. I had some flashbacks of the 2v2 grass volleyball tournament that Noah Jones and I played in down at UVU before the mission. Good times, good times! It was so great to meet the Frederikshavn members too. I'm sad to say that my volleyball skills are a little rusty...it's definitely been a while since I last played.

 

We also had fun exploring the city this week during our contacting and knocking. And, we got the responsibility of creating some videos for our mission Facebook page this week. If y'all want to hear me speak some Danish, check out Jesu Kristi Kirke-Den Danske Mission! 

I had an AWESOME opportunity to give a talk at the Aalborg Elders' baptism. The sister they baptized doesn't speak Danish sooooooo they needed an English speaker and the ward doesn't apparently have many. It was awesome! It's great whenever someone gets baptized here in Denmark. It doesn't happen very often so it was a BIG DEAL! We were happy for her; I'll drop a picture below. 

 

My mom sent a package a while ago and it had some American mac and cheese.... I enjoyed that this week!

 

We got another burger in Aalborg--because why not!--and it started POURING rain. Like my entire suit was drenched while I was trying to eat my burger. On my order, they also spelled my name Tads... TADS? How in the world did she get Tads from Tate? Hahahah whatever. I thought it was funny. 

 

Today, I got to explore some of the area to take videos for our area's Facebook page. It was nice to see a lot of pretty places and I am excited to see even more. There is a lot to see in Nordjylland! 

 

That's it for this week! Thanks for reading this far! I love and miss you all!

 

Love from Frederikshavn,
