Kære Familie,

 

How goes it???  BYU IS IN THE SWEET 16!!!!!!!  Actually, really funny story behind how we found out.  So we called our investigator from NJ to remind him to come to church.  He asked if we followed BYU basketball?  We said heck yes.  He then told us that they beat St. Johns to go to the Sweet 16.  We knew they would play St. Johns or Gonzaga so we were super stoked and basically Missionary celebrated for a while.  We called Æ. Meyer who is like the only other BYU basketball fan to tell him.  Then he said that the senior couple in Copenhagen said they were playing Gonzaga not St. Johns and that the game wasn't until 145am here.  (Æ. Jensen the senior miss. ended up watching the game:( ).  So now we were all depressed because we didn't know if we would win or not.  The next morning, Christina, a way cool younger member texted us the score and we ended up flipping out all over again!  So yeah, we're not trusting investigators with scores ever again!

 

So this was another hard week since we were in Copenhagen for Zone Conference and Leadership mtg for two days.  I was on splits on Thurs on Amager while Mauler went to his meeting.  It was definitely an interesting splits.  The senior companion was this guy who has been out for 4 months longer than me, but can hardly speak Danish and actually just hardly speaks.  He would NOT do any of the doors that we knocked and when we did he would just lurk in the shadows creepily and not say anything.  So it was Æ. Klc (Kelch) who was in the group right in front of me and me.  So that was interesting.  Coming back we took the metro to the nearest station near the office, but its still like two miles from the office.  Meanwhile, its freezing cold and pouring rain!  We walk to the bus stop only to see the most packed bus I have ever seen.  Literally there was no room for us.  So we walk.  We come to another bus which has a little bit more room, but not 50 ft down the road, it breaks down.  Back to the cold and wet to start walking.  We finally get there and are tired, cold and sopping wet!!!  Only to leave right away for the train station.  Blah!

 

Transfer Madness is back up.  Picks are due today and transfers are in a little over 2 weeks.  That should add some excitement to our lives for a little bit.  Our baptismal date is still scheduled on going through. 

Hope all is going well!!!  Love and miss ya tons!!!
