Monday the Crazy Day, So last Monday
I sent an email about transfers and my new companions and that is where I am
going to start off...
We went straight to work after
emailing we had the opportunity to do service for an investigator, she is the
one who makes us really good meals when we work hard enough for her. Well we
worked hard enough, there are three of us and we tried to move an 800lbs
counter top out of this house for her and I came out dripping sweat head to toe
and breathing heavy, we got the counter about half way out and we had to give
up because we just didn't have the man power (I can feel myself getting weaker
but I am about 184lbs know and ripped from Danish food).
The following Day we had 3 lessons
which is uncommonly high for us and it went great. Wed. Thrs.& Fri. All of
the lessons we planned were canceled and three investigators dropped us (they
do not want to meet again). Well to put it like this it sucked!!! But we
started to search in some new areas for people to teach and I hope that this
will be fruitful. Our normal working day includes stopping by people who are
interested hoping they will schedule a lesson (we try first to call them but
many don't answer their phones ever and then we have scheduled appointments and
knocking, street contacting, and service. There has not been too much in terms
of excitement in the work in the last two or three weeks but we have been
trying to get the juices flowing.
Thursday we had District meeting and
I am the oldest one in the District so I am referred to as king of the District
and I am also no longer the youngest missionary there either because the Sister
in Horsens is training a new missionary, exciting, and it is a good reminder of
how far my Danish has come in the last 3 Months really it is crazy the
progress.
Well Saturday and Sunday were a
little more like normal with the companionship falling into a routine and a
flow, I think that a little more time and we will be able to flip this area
upside down and teach all the single women in Silkeborg (because we no longer
have to worry about a third man)
The interesting thing that I studied
this week was actually about the fall of Adam and Eve, What I concluded was
that the fall came from the word of wisdom. The word of Wisdom gives us counsel
about our personal physical temples and God gave Adam and Eve similar counsel
in the Garden. Their bodies were in an immortal state and they could only
partake of certain things to continue in this state. Well when they partook of
something of the world the fruit of the knowledge of good and Evil it changed
their state to a continually deteriorating state that we have inherited as
human beings. It is important today to follow the word of wisdom because it
gives us a way to maintain our physical temples in a manner that the holy
spirit can dwell with us, if we are not respecting out physical temples we will
not have the holy presence of the spirit at all times. To put it like this to
feel the Holy Ghost while drunk would be difficult not only because your senses
are all dulled but your body is also being attacked by harmful substances. I
have a strong testimony of the Word of Wisdom and that it was given to us in
these latter days to help us stay strong in the Gospel and in the world of
changing values. God gave it to us because he loves us and we should show our
love for god by following his Counsel.
Well that is that for this week Love
you All
