Mustaches Make Everything Better
Oct 22, 2018
Danish word of the week: Ubetinget Kærlighed = unconditional love
Danish Fun Fact: Most churches here close at 3. Don't make the mistake we did today and show p at 2:59. They will kick you out.
I love Viborg. It is the cutest little city and has a lot of people very ready for the gospel. I also love Søster Van Wagenen. We have a shared love of classical music, so that makes me really happy. This is going to be a good 6 weeks :)
This week was great! I many of the amazing people we are working with and my testimony has grown so much. One of the great people I met this week is Connie. Connie met the missionaries about a month and a half ago and absolutely did not believe in God. Her dad had died a few months before and she wanted nothing to do with religion. However, for some odd reason, she let the sisters in. When I met her this week, she told me that she 100% believes that there is a God. She can feel Him. Literally. Everytime she feels the Spirit she says it feels like a hand on her back. She wants to get baptized and follow Jesus Christ with all of her heart. She's very intelligent and really loves everything we tell her. Pray for Connie please!
Another amazing human being I met was Tanya. She was born and raised in Denmark, but lived in London for 10 years so she has this amazing british accent. Her dad is african american and her mom is Danish. She has the greatest testimony of the Book of Mormon. We read Lehi's vision in 1 Nephi 8 with her, and she loved it. She figured out the symbolism all by herself and thought it was the most genius thing ever. She has also had a rapid growing testimony. Tanya and I became immediate friends through our shared love of Jazz and our decision to write a book togther. She is looking forward to her baptism on the 22nd of November! Pray for her please!
A lot of things happened this week and I wish that I had hours and hours to write so that I could adequately express how much I love what I am doing. One really touching experience for me was on Sunday. Like I said last week, this new area has one of the smallest, if not the smallest, branch in Denmark. Though they be but little, they are faithful. Definitely one of, if not the most, faithful branches in all of Denmark. The members that come to church come because they love it. They are filled with the Spirit and a true desire to be like the Savior in every aspect. They welcome visitors and us new missionaries with open arms and warm hearts. My heart was so touched by their faithful testimonies and my desire to build this humble branch grew exponentially. Pray for them please!
Tak for alt hvad I gør for mig! Jeg elsker jer rigtig meget! Ha' en god uge!

ps: We had district council this week and it was 3 missionaries' birthday, so we all put on mustaches and took pictures. We do look quite fan-tache-tic don't we? hahah
