This week has been very great so far. Thanks to the Finnish
Vanhin Mats (Elders) in our zone, I have been able to get vitamin C tablets in
which they told me to CHEW... bad Idea.. So bitter and sour. haha but I've been
waking up just fine so far just in time for rehearsals with our small choir to
prepare for the mission president's seminar. We are singing the most beautiful
arrangement of Joseph Smith's First Prayer. We also are singing praise to the
man for the general authorities on the day Joseph Smith was martyred. In the
past I've had a hard time being able to sing because I always cry so much due
to the power of the spirit.. hopefully I'll be ok this time:)
My district was
also recommended to give tours of the new buildings. It was such a great
experience to take a family or two around the new facilities here at the MTC so
they could see and experience the wonderful opportunities we have here. The MTC
will bring members who speak Danish so we can teach them or have a kind of
family home evening type of lesson. It's wonderful to be able to get to know
and learn to love these wonderful people:)
I have gotten a little
frustrated earlier because I have such a desire to share so much that's in my
heart but can't express my feelings due to my lack of knowledge and skill with
the Danish language. However, I have learned that I must have patience with
myself and especially the Lord as I work and do what little I can to learn this
language. The Lord has undoubtedly helped me learn the language and express my
feelings through the spirit rather than word. The most important thing is to be
close the the spirit and teach with love. This will be way more effective
rather than trying to be fluent in speaking the language. Learn to speak the
language of the spirit.
We also had Donny Osmond come and speak to us on our Sunday
devotional.. haha it was interesting. He has a fun personality and great
stories which was good. haha but we also had Elder Hallstrom and his wife come
and speak on Tuesday which was incredible. He expressed that we need to decide
TODAY what kind of missionary (or person) we need to be. We must be obedient and
work to be our best which is what the Lord wants us to be.
I Love you all and hope you are having a wonderful time! The
Church is true. God loves all of us and this gospel is sweet. I LOVE IT.
