Sankt Hans Aften

Ældste Paulsen & Ældste Mod

Helløjsa! Your fav half Dane, half American here again. Let's just dive in!

Soooo this week got very occupied by my boy Ældste Møller. He is from Denmark and was originally assigned to South Africa (shout out to Marc) but has been serving here for nearly a year.... but he finally made it to South Africa! We were with him from Tuesday to Thursday morning, trekking into Copenhagen every day hahah. We ate with him and his grandparents Tuesday evening, and then on Wednesday it was his parents and President and Sister Olsen. It was lots of fun, a really good time. I'm gonna miss him. It was weird dropping yet another missionary off at the airport, his fam was all there, but he was stoked to make it to South Africa. He wasn't even that sad to go. I don't even

With Ældste Møller

think he cried hugging his family goodbye part two.

Wednesday night was Sankt Hans Aften aka a day dedicated to John the Baptist combined with an old witch burning tradition. So everyone lights a big bonfire to ward away witches and bad spirits, but also to celebrate John the Baptist hahahah. It's pretty much just another excuse for Danes to drink lol. We only saw one bonfire though because the sun is nowhere near down by the time we get home. I love the daylight here.

We helped out with a wedding reception here in Slagelse to make up for not being able to help my sisters with their wedding receptions lol jkjk. Love you both @shae and @erin. But it was fun and everyone was grateful, and we got free food out of it... and one of our friends even pulled up. Win win situation I guess.

Lately I have been vibing with the hymn Come Thou Fount. Let me just toss in some really good lyrics.

Jesus sought me when a stranger Wandering from the fold of God He to rescue me from danger Interposed His precious blood Oh, to grace how great a debtor Daily I’m constrained to be Let Thy goodness like a fetter Bind my wandering heart to Thee Prone to wander, Lord I feel it Prone to leave the God I love Here’s my heart, oh take and seal it Seal it for Thy courts above

Woahhhhhh I know. I know. What a good song! I LOVE how I feel listening to it. Christ searches after us EVERY time we go astray and leave His presence. He rescues each of us individually. He makes all the difference. We cannot repay Him, but we can show him we love Him by keeping His commandments and loving the people around us. Right now I am working on giving Him my whole heart. I invite all of you to do the same, give Him control, give Him your talents, give Him your thoughts and best efforts, give Him your all. I promise you won't regret it. I love this gospel and it makes me so sad to think that all these random people around me have no idea how great of a plan was created especially for them. Gotta change that!

Love you all tons! Shout out to my homies who have gotten home! Also shout out to Denmark's National team for moving on in the Euro Cup. Everyone here is going wild over it!

Love from Kirke Hvalsø,
