Wow, I feel so loved today! Thank you so much for everything you all do for me! You all are so amazing! I love you all so much! I did get the birthday package! I opened it up last night and was so happy thank you so much! I got it on Tuesday after zone conference but because we were on bikes the elders took the packages to drive and decided since my birthday wasn't until today they would take away the temptation to open it early by keeping it in their car until yesterday! haha Thank you so much! I love the sweater ( I am wearing it with the shoes and shirt!) and i love all the christmas stuff! The socks are wonderful! Our apartment is really cold so it'll be great to have those! Thank you!!
This week has been pretty crazy but really good! It's funny how each week is so different! haha. We had our zone conference on Tuesday! It was really fun, we even got to watch Frozen. Which was a big deal because a lot of the missionaries had never seen it before, so that was fun. We also had the traditional Christmas dinner and it was delicious, I won the almond game too so that was exciting! Also, Im just gonna say it our President is amazing! He just always knows exactly what to say! We started the big "He Is the Gift" push and it is so good! It really opens people up, everyone really loves Christmas so it is perfect! He also was just taking to us and gave training on how to stay happy and keep being positive, which was somehting I really needed to hear. Its hard sometimes when it is super dark, cold and no one really wants to listen sometimes. It really is just realizing what we are doing and that we are never alone. Christ is always right there next to us going through exactly what we are going through. So that helped alot alot. It was just really awesome.
After the conference, we went on splits until Friday, so I was with Sis Reed again in Slagelse the whole time. It was a bit stressful and hard because it was the first time I had to plan and find things pretty much on my own. But it really helped to give me more confidence and we didn't get lost either! Which is good because we lost our map! hahaha
It was really good, we were able to meet with everyone we needed,and we did a good amount of service this past week too! It was wonderful! we had a wonderful appt with M, where baptism came up and we just had a really good conversation about what was holding him back from being baptized and found out his concerns so we could help him. At church he even told me that he really appreciated the lesson, said it really helped him to fell more loved and that he felt the spirit the whole time. So that was really good! He's not quite ready to be baptized but I can see him change everytime we meet, so he'll get there eventually!
Last night we had our Jule concert in Copenhagen, so we drove up with the elders and all our missionaries sang Deligt er Jorden. It went really wonderfully! It was fun to listen to the others sing too! One person sang I'll Be Home for Christmas and White Christmas and it reminded me of you all! hahah. It was really great, and the sprirt was super strong, M even came said he really likes the feelings he gets when he is with church members!
It has really been a good week! Today we woke up and went on a surprise run for my Birthday! Søs Barrett was all secretive about it and we ended up running to this cute little bakery and she bought us a pastry and fresh orange juice! It was so fun! She is so amaizng! Being on splits this past week has made me realize how much I love being her companion! We just got a really good rythm and work really well together, just continually pushing each other to better! It is a good combination. I also got a call from President today and he and his wife sang to me, so cute and from the elders too. So, today has already been so wonderful! Thank you for everything! I love you all and miss you! have a good week and celebrate my birthday in my absence! love you alllllll!
Love
