August 11

So we bumped into this man one day and set a time to come back and have a lesson, we came back and went through the first lesson and during the process he brought up 4 or 5 other religions that he has explored and how they all pointed to the BOM. He practically put himself on date and we already went through the plan of salvation with him. When the only problem is that he is headed off to college before his baptismal date so we will not be able to continue his lessons but one of my mtc friends will continue with the lessons up there. 

There is a old woman who is investigating the church, she needed some help with her farm and we were more than willing to help so we donned the regular clothing and went to work. I fixed a light fixture for her, We all prepped her windows for paint, and the walls of her barn and garage. As a reward she cooked us a crazy good meal, (she was a pro chef) and I was so full of joy at that moment after working all day and eating a good meal and then teaching a good lesson that I almost fell asleep on the car ride home.

At a different point in the week we contacted our branch president and asked him if he had any suggestions on where we should go knocking this week and he gave us to neighborhoods. The first door e gave out a BoM and then every door there after we had good experiences. Three different times a teenage girl answered the door and we said that we were missionaries looking to give a message about family so e asked if there family would be interested. The responses were always no but we got some really nice complements like you are ridiculously handsome, and other funny things that we immediately said that you and left. Twice on that same street I was asked where I come from in Denmark and I said that I come from the Us and they responded with how long have you been here and again I would say less than a month to which they would ask did you study danish before and I would say no and then they would then say something that I would not understand and my vocabulary would not reach. 

All in all not a bad week. I am headed to Copenhagen this week for the Mission conference, next week for my first transfer meeting with my mtc group, and then not the following week but the week after to hear elder bednar speak to us. This week there is a huge celebration in Silkeborg it happens once every three years and will start on Wednesday and go through Friday night, talk about a party right, it looks kind of like a carnival but they are shutting down the city, fireworks every night, music everywhere and a couple 100000 extra people will be here. The president will send 4 extra missionaries to the area and we are going to contact for 3 days as long as they partying doesn't get to crazy.
