It was an awesome last week in Odense. Seriously all
the miracles happened right there at the end, which makes me feel bad for ever
feeling sad, but it's always so much sweeter when you go through the bitter
right? :)
H (She is great!) and I.
After we finished PDay on Tuesday, we went out to give cookies to one
of the families in the ward.
Afterwards we decided to stop by M, who we street
contacted my first week in Odense and made a return appointment, but it had
just never worked out. Well, she was home and she let us right in, and her good
friend M2 (haha both of their names start with an M so yeah! M2 it is!) was
there.
M2 had actually borrowed the Book of Mormon we gave to M and read a little
bit in it, and they both had some good questions about the church. We got to
know them a little bit better, and talked about prayer. We gave M2 her own Book
of Mormon, and invited them to a pizza night the ward was having a few days
later.
They came to the pizza night!!! And they brought another friend, M2's
roommate E, who is from the Faroe Islands which I think is pretty awesome. We
gave them a tour of the church and they had a lot of good questions, they
stayed for the activity and a short lesson afterwards. They said they want to
start coming every week, and they want to learn more! Ah it was so exciting and
they are all the sweetest girls.
Søster McVey and I in the mustaches. (thank you Julie!)
On Saturday Sister McVey and I went out to give cookies and a talk by Elder Bednar to C, and on our way up there I saw a man on the bike path in a wheel chair. He seemed really happy and nice, and on our way back he was still on the path! So Sister McVey and I stopped and approached him to just say hi, and it turns out he has met with missionaries before in Fredericia! He said he had never seen girl missionaries before, and that his wife is expecting their first daughter in September and he hopes she will be as dedicated to her beliefs as we are to ours. It was a really sweet little conversation, and it just goes to show how small and simple promptings can be, but what sweet experiences can come from following them!
Transfers went well, I did get my bike here and all my other
stuff in one piece (well, many pieces actually... I have too much stuff!)! The Ægtepar
from Odense actually go home this week so they weren't able to help us with
transportation, so we walked all our stuff to the train station!
All of us one more time at the train station this morning.
Some of the
Elders came and helped us which was a huge help, but whew! It was quite the
work-out. Sister Sheridan (we were in the apartment together, she was
in the other Odense ward and is now in Gladsaxe) and I had a great conversation
with the lady who sat by us on the train, and then we made it to Copenhagen!
Sister Hadley, and I got all of my stuff (two suitcases, a duffel bag, another
huge bag with my dyne and study stuff, and a bike) on and off an S-tog, and
then we walked it to the apartment.
It is a really cute apartment! There's a
little overgrown garden in the front and we want to see if we can clean it up
for service sometime soon. Sister Hadley, my new companion, is awesome! She is
from Utah, has 7 older half-siblings, and is way enthusiastic and motivated to
work!
I
got the cards from John, Emily, Sage, and Chloe this week, they were so
sweet!!! And I also got your packages. THANK YOU so much!!! The candy and the
scarves and shoes and face stuff and everything was just wonderful. I'm wearing
the shoes and one of the scarves right now! :)
The Easter package!
My mind is kind of running 100 miles a minute right now, so
I may have forgotten some things so I might email a little more if I think of
anything! :) But it's fun to transfer again already, and although I will miss
Sister McVey (love that sista!) it'll be fun to be with Sister Hadley.
Me and Søster Hadley, my new companion
