Wow there is just so much to cover.
Splits, Zone Conference, Zone
Activity, General Conference and Transfers O man
So we had splits here in Silkeborg
this time and I was working with Elder Bateman he is a really funny kid who
loves to crack jokes, we get along great and we stopped by a list of like 30
people and nobody answered the door. I had a blast and we ended up taking a
couple of pictures that look really awesome.
Zone conference was great, it always
is great but before this last one I was able to talk with president in an
interview, he truly is a man of God and we talked about my training and about
Silkeborg and a couple of questions I had in terms of procedure and other stuff
but I felt great after. After the training we had a zone activity and that meant
soccer, capture the flag and ultimate. I had so much fun just running around
for the first time in months man I miss playing sports with friends but the
days after I was so sore holy cow.
Well we got calls about tranfers and
I was told I was going to be part of a trio and that one of them was going to
be my old companion from the MTC elder Neilson, I laughed because he is very
easy for me to get along with and we should keep each other sane. The other is
elder Sullivan who is new to me I haven't heard much about him because he has
spent all his time on Sheland.
For General conference we had to go
to AAhrus and we watched with a lot of other people Saturday night. It was actually
the Saturday Morning session. We stayed with the zone leaders that night and
the next day we watched priesthood at the church. That morning we ate with a
member and I made a fast friend, there is something about getting along with older
women I must have inherited dads ability to just make friends with them. So
after that we went to another members’ house to watch the next two sessions and
eat dinner. I was confused as to why we didn't watch it at the church but then
as I was talking with the member it became apparent that she needed a blessing
and she knew that it was me who needed to give it to her. Well it was a crazy
powerful blessing and we called it a night. The next morning was transfers and
it is crazy, so I picked up my first companion that morning and the other came
in about noon. We loaded them both up onto a train and road into Silkeborg, We
chatted and then took a bus to drop off their bags and came to the library to
email y’all. Well hopefully we will get to know one another a little better on
as the week goes on but there is a lot of weight on me because they don't know
the city or the people who we meet with so I will carry everything for a little
while. That just means a lot of stress but I can take it. I hope you all have a
good week and know that I love you all so much

I also took on two eating challenges
this week. One was the chocolate triangle. It is a giant pastry and most
missionaries can’t eat it all before giving up because it is too rich. I ate
the whole thing and part of another missionaries because he couldn't finish his
and then some more of another because I was still hungry. The pastries are good
but not that good, I expected something mind blowing, it is just ok but mom’s cheese cake still beats it. The other
was a super hot pepper that was supposed to be super painful to eat. Two
missionaries tried before me and they both cried like babies. I was number
three and my eyes began to water but I held it together for the win. It was
great fun this week I just have to remember to have fun with it every day and
not get to serious.
I also had the opportunity to talk
with a member about life for a little amount of time. There are many blessings
that we are given as members of the chruch and the knowledge that we can see our family again
after death is so comforting that this week I just wanted to give you all my
testimony of Gods plan for us and although there are trials put in our lives
they are there for reasons. We are given comfort in God’s plan because we know
what will happen after this life on earth is over but it also gives me comfort
while tough things happen in life. It is going to be alright if we have to
suffer for a little amount of time because in the long run our sufferings are
so little compared to Christ’s and we will be able to look back and see our
sufferings with the growth that comes from them. Always keep your head up and
looking at the future.
