Update Week 4

Hello All, 

 

Sorry I have not been keeping up with the blog.  I am trying to get all the posts up including some of William's letters.  He leaves the MTC on November 29. 

 

Hey all,

 

Hvordan Gar Det!  Things are same here.   I did my first successful door contact in Danish and taught my first lesson in Danish with notes and from memory.  Bro. Stacey said that he was impressed with how much we were able to do.  I'm shooting to memorize the First Vision in Danish by our next TRC visit on Monday.  This visit will also be our first official Danish lesson taught.  I was also able to memorize one of my favorite scriptures in Danish, D&C 121:7-8. 

 

So I hear that BYU football won.  The next day we had a fireside and the speaker (some guy from the mission dept.) said, "Elders, you chose a great time to go on a mission."  It was pretty funny.  But yeah from what I hear we're so bad I ain't missing a thing! 

 

Last night for Devotional, Elder Richard G. Scott came.  TWO APOSTLES IN A ROW!!!!!!!!  Usually I have a hard time listening to Elder Scott but not last night.  He gave a very good talk about following the promptings of the Holy Ghost.  They were really good juicy stuff that I hope I'll be able to use on my mission and in my normal life.  He also gave three apastolic blessings, one of which was the Gift of Tongues to all those who will work and be faithful in the field.  Not just in our foreign languages but also in the language of the spirit. 

 

We are also some of the missionaries selected to help Sister Clegg (wife of one of the Mission President's counselors) and be here minions at the Thanksgiving service project.  The project is making school bags for the Humanitarian Center.  The Elders that they've selected, which includes the Danes, are running stations for the different areas and zones.  We are also being filmed for a little demo video on Friday that will be shown to the whole MTC.  If they keep this service project it will also be shown every year that they do it.  That's right, I'm going to be a livin' legend, on a Service Project Demo Video for the MTC......

 

We had a culture night the other day, because Sister Ronstrom was leaving for Denmark on Monday.  It was cool because we found out more about the mission, the country and the what we can expect.  Bro. Stacey is way cool.  He's gotta be up there on coolest people lists.  He said that the bakeries were to die for (you can tell what I was focussed on).  He also said that we would get to use cars alot of our mission too.  We probably wouldn't have to buy bikes because the old Elders just hand theres down and you just use them and also you use alot of cars.  He said that members are really nice but that they take a long time to warm up to and start to trust you. 

 

Well thats about it.  Elder Mohrman's got less than two weeks left, I've now got about five.  I'm am now to the point where I am a voice of experience which is nice.  The language is coming along and we are totally ready to get the field!!!!!  Love you all tons!!!!!
