Kære familie,

 

Sorry that this email is coming two days late.  On Monday we went into Copenhagen because the whole zone wanted to see the sights.  It turned into a walk up and down the gågade (pedestrian zone) like 12 times.  I would much rather have emailed than go there honestly.  Then yesterday we had a six hour specialized training.  Those are way long and hard not to fall asleep through.  Not alot happened this past week.  The weather can't seem to decide whether to be sunny and warm up or be cloudy and miserable.  Anyway, it makes one want to just stay in bed all day rather than walk around and talk to people.  We had only one really cool story this week.  Here it is from my letter to Præsident Andersen:

 

Vi havde en rigtig gode besøg med en af vores undersøger som hedder Tom.  (We had a great visit with one of our investigators called Tom) (sorry back to English for the story)  Tom was found and taught by Æ. Meyer a while back.  He has some worthiness troubles, but he is trying to do better.  We stop by every week and just visit and give et åndelig budskab (a spiritual message).  This past week I recommended that he watch some of the Mormon messages on LDS.org because he has a hard time just reading from the Book of Mormon so I figured this might be a little better or easier for him.  Anyway, he watched the one on Forgiveness, where the man's family is killed in a car wreck by a drunk driver and the story is how through Christ and the Atonement he was able to forgive him.  It's way good and I felt the spririt way strong when I first saw it in MTC.  So he watched it after we left and called Æ. Mauler later and explained how he felt so good when he watched it.  He also talked about watching other ones (Mormon messages) and how after watching them he wanted to change and be better.  He said that he really liked Pres. Monson so we are going to try and find more talks by him to give him.  It was really cool to hear him open up like that.  He thanked us for coming by every week and said that our visits really helped him.  He's a way cool guy and I'm glad he got to have this experience. 

 

That's really all that we had this week.  We had a lot of walking.  You should see the bottom of my shoes.  I think that in a couple of months I am going to have to buy new ones cause if I staying in a walking area for another four months they're going to be goners.  Anyway, hope ya'll are having a good week!  Love and miss ya tons!!!
