Things turn out best for people who make the best of the way things turn out. - John Wooden - Sept. 10,2012

Hey guys,¨

How are you guys doing?  We had a pretty good week.  We had a ton of appointments and it looks the same this week.  It's always nice to spend most of the time teaching!  We are getting to know alot of our investigators really well.  We had this girl from Estonia move into the ward to study here in Denmark.  She's way funny and nice.  A lot of the members are inviting us over and  having us take her with so I guess we owe her a thank you that we get to go to more appointments.  

On Wednesday we had a pretty cool experience.  We got dropped by one of our cooler investigators.  Great start to the story right?  Well, as we're leaving, he runs back to us and tells us that there is this guy from the states that just moved in and is interested in religion and that we should try and talk to him.  I'm like ok, let's try right now.  So we head over and it's this way cool kid from Miami.  So we lost an investigator, but got a new one within a couple min.  Then we had 3 investigators to basketball, so that was extra fun!

On Thursday, it was another one of those days that we spent the whole day in Appointments!  We were with A. in the morning and then went to K. who gets better and better everytime we see him!  Then that night we visited another one of our investigators, F. and found out that he was gay.  So yeah.....

On Friday, we had a district meeting in Randers.  It was my first time visiting that city so that was really good.  We went and had an incredible kebab for lunch and then played some football!!!!  It was a way good and intense game!  After that we went to a new convert for some more food.  Haha.

On Saturday we had more sports. We played soccer and then went to a service project out in the boondocks.  That took the whole day!  Well yesterday, we were hurting bad!  But the soreness is wearing off.  So yeah it was a pretty good week.  

Hope ya'll have a good week!  Love ya!

Hej med jer,

How are ya'll doing???  This week was pretty good.  The sickness continued, so some of it was spent inside.  This week it was Petersen who was sick.  I was also getting over my sickness so that was fun.  Tuesday was a pretty exciting day.  We had appointments all day.  It started out with L., our Vietnamese investigator.  We were able to set a baptismal date with her for the Saturday before I leave.  I think that we can get her ready, but it's going to take some work.  So that was fun, we had a hard time eating all the food that she gave us.  Oh the pains that we go through as missionaries....We then went to an appointment with A.  That was fun we just talked for a while and she got to know Petersen and that was good.  After that we went to K.  He is doing alot better.  We just chilled with him and watched a bunch of Mormon Messages with him again.  So that is a good way to teach him.  

On Wednesday, the Zone Leaders, Elders Dunshee and Jones came on splits.  That was fun because they also played basketball with us after institute.  That was alot of fun.  Then splits were pretty good.  All of our appointments ended up canceling so it was very just make it up as we go.  Then that night we had an appointment with F.  He's one of our older investigators, but a very nice guy.  He is a health nut and showed us some Chinese gymnastics.  It must have been a hoot to see this old guy and two missionaries doing gymnastics moves.  

Friday, we had to help an investigator, from Greenland, cut her lawn or should a say rain forest.  Literally, the grass came up to my knees!  She's moving now so we figured we'd do this last thing for her.  

Saturday, we kind of misjudged our health and how much better we were feeling.  We went to play soccer and we were exhausted afterwards.  Yesterday, we had church which was pretty good.  We went to the Schvanevelts and ate with them.  I feel bad.  They don't speak Danish and are really struggling right now.  

Hope you guys have a good week!  Love and miss ya tons!

Hej med jer,

Things are going pretty good.  I've been pretty sick since Friday, so that is not at all fun to be in bed for 3 days.  Today I'm feeling alot better just a pretty bad cough, but because of that we have an iffy week this week and a not too good week this past week.  Elder Petersen is a pretty cool kid and way happy.  He's from Idaho Falls, Idaho.  He's been on his mission 8 months and has served in Horsens and Århus.  He didn't go to college before, but he is thinking about going to BYU Idaho afterwards.  And sorry if I forgot to mention this last week, but Pitts went to Odense on Fyn. 

Before Pitts left on Wednesday, we visited a bunch of people Monday and Tuesday.  That was fun.  Pitts was way tight with the members and a bunch of them were sad to see him go.  But I got rid of him on Tuesday night when he got on a train with Elder Wright and I hung out with Elder Holyoak until Elders Petersen and Larsen came the next afternoon.  They stayed for Institute and after a months break, basketball got started back up!  It was so much fun!  

On Friday, went home teaching with one of the members, N.  He's a way cool guy!  Anyway, we went to this family where the dad is from Spain and Mom is from Indiana and they have two young kids.  It was just funny to see the difference between home teaching in the two different countries.  It was pretty awkward the whole time.  Anyway, that shows how quiet of a week its been by how that's the most exciting thing of the week! 

I got an email from my MTC comp Elder Mohrman today.  He goes home in two weeks.  It's so weird!  Hope ya'll have a good week!  Love and miss you tons!

Hej med jer

 

How are you all doing?  We had a pretty good week.  We found out transfers this past week and Elder Veach is going to be staying in Aalborg to die!  His companion is going to be Elder Petersen....not the same one, and this all happens on Wednesday.  Elder Wright is going to stay my district leader, but he is moving to Randers.  Elder Jones, my old ZL companion is going to stay ZL, but in Aarhus.  Elder Bailey is staying Assisstant, and Elder Tolman and Elder Old Peterson are together on Amager.  That's the update on the companions. I think that it finally hit me that I only have two more months.

 

This past week we had alot of appointments, but we weren't able to get members to them because all the members were back in school and work.  We had some really good meetings and made some baptismal commitments to follow up on.  There is this one lady, from Vietnam, whose name is L.  She is the sweetest old lady.  One of those real rice paddy hardworker ladies.  She always makes us a ton! of food!  She comes to church every week, but there is a huge language barrier.  She only speaks a little bit of Danish and NO English, but visiting her is always fun!  We also got to meet up with K.

So we've got a bunch of people to visit before Pitts leaves on Tuesday, so we should be busy until then.  Hope you all have a great week!  Love and Miss ya tons!
