Søster Esplin

October 8, 2018 On monday Søster Calame and I went to IKEA for pday.  We planned our future homes and talked about different styles and stuff we liked.  It was actually pretty fun! We also ate dinner with an adorable member family that have the CUTEST baby in the whole world.  I loved monday because I love families. On tuesday we cleaned some windows for a member, taught Sune the word of wisdom (which he is already holding), and, of course, talked to people!! I loved that day because I know that the Spirit is working through me.  The member we cleaned windows for received some bad news and I felt the Spirit tell me to not give the spiritual thought we had planned and instead to do something different, and I had the faith to listen.  Wednesday we had our district council with the district and learned some good things.  We also ate with a newly wed couple in our ward and it was super fun and cute.  I loved wednesday because I love the people I serv...

Danish Fun Fact: Most danish receipes are in weights (such as grams) and in dl, ml, etc. Fun Danish Mission Fact: Our apartment is not equipped with such measuring instruments.  This week was a great one so BUCKLE DOWN.  The Assistants to the President were in Jylland all week, so we got to use their car! She be niiiiiiiice. WAY too nice for a mission car.  Her name is Zoe.  She's a hybrid and boy is she smooth.  It was really fun to be able to drive a car, a luxury I miss and don't miss all at once.  We had her for a wonderful 2 1/2 days.  It was lovely.  We did a LOT of finding this week.  Many of our appointments cancelled, so we hit the streets and met some pretty interesting people! It felt good just to spread the word.  On Thursday we had to give the car back (hej hej Zoe) and we took Koo to SUV! SUV (Stavens Unge Voksne = YSA basically) is dinner and institute co...
