Hej med jer!
How are you guys doing??? First week in Aalborg down and its been
pretty good so far! The city is definitely the coolest one I've seen in
Denmark! It's just an awesome mixture of modern and old Europe. It's
really cool! The area is okay. Since we're opening up a "new" or second
area in the city, we're basically not working with anything so we have
to fill a new pool of investigators. There is a big university here so
there are a ton of college students that are a lot of potential! We
also have CUV (Center for Young Adults) center here. Something that we
can also use. There's a senior couple, The Despain's, they're way
awesome and a big help to us! My companion is Elder Harms, he's from
Las Vegas and has been in Denmark for 6 months. He came with Elder
Wright back in October. He's been in Aalborg for 2 months already and
I've really enjoyed being companions with him! He's a good kid and way
funny. We're sharing an apartment (ugh again) with Elder Pierson
and Elder Pitts (another greenie).
My first day, we got dropped by one of the only investigators that
we had. She said that she hated conference and that they were just a
bunch of pessimists that didn't know what they were talking about. That
was kinda awkward and I didn't know how to respond other than just bear
my testimony. Didn't help.
One thing that's taking a little bit of time adjusting to here in
Jylland is that they speak very different than they do in Copenhagen. The closest thing that I can compare it to is a southern accent versus a New York accent. It's taking some adjusting.
Transfers were a nightmare as usual. We had ten people sleeping in
our apartment the night before. It was just totally hectic and we had to be in charge of the whole
thing. The other problem was that we didn't get everybody home until
really late. We had to drive from Central Copenhagen to Ballerup with
everybody's luggage while everybody else took the train up. Elder S. and
his companion went to McDonalds at 11pm and told them to get off the
train and go with them. The problem was that one of them told President
and President called them all and reprimanded them. That will probably
be the last time they do that.
Yesterday, we had to take one of the half Danish missionaries to the army base in Aalborg. He had been called up to the draft and had to
get a physical and wait to see if he was going to be drafted. Luckily,
he didn't.
So yeah that was the exciting week. Love and miss you tons!
