November 17

Well to start out Congrats to my Sister and Will on EMMA I have heard the good news and holy cow it seems like just yesterday y'all told me that you were having a kid and that I was about to start my mission. Time flies in the service of the Lord.

District Activity- Our district had an activity this past district meeting and it was bowling. We had a great time, just relaxing a little bit and having some fun, I threw a bowling ball 37.64 kil/hr and afterwards we got a bite to eat and held our regular district meeting. 

Finall Days in Silkeborg- So there was not much craziness in the last days leading up  to the end other then a circut being blown in our apartment and then I had to try and figure out Danish electricity and fix it that was great but that was about it. Packing started Wednesday and ended Sunday night, I have acquired many things so far on my mission and trying to get them to fit in the suitcase is not the easiest job when I ended it was two 80 something lbs bags that were very full of stuff. I am going to slim it down next time after I know just how cold it is going to be.
  The last sacrament meeting was the biggest thing that went down. I had to bear my testimony and then I took pictures with everyone. I really feel like family there with all of the people that have helped me learn to read and speak danish. To finish things off a member made a feast for us to say goodbye and good luck. It had turkey bacon and Icelandic Layer Cake which is the best stuff on earth holy cow. I swear it is like nuttela and cream and coconut yummm.

Transfers- The day started with a 530am wake up call, getting ready for the day and then heading to the bus, from the bus to train one and from train one to train two. 4 hours later I ended up in the big city with the assistants there with a car there to take me and the new assitant home. I set my stuff down and we ran to get some food and then biked through down town to get to the library and start emailing. So that is it right now but some awesome pics of the place and of Copenhagen will be comming.


A Testimony by yours truely
So there have been a couple of things that I wanted to do recently and this is one of them. I want y'all to know that I know that this church is true. I just finished reading the BOM in Danish and after I finished I hit my knees for a little while to double check and see if it was true and if I was out here for the right reasons. My conclusions were as follows one the book it true and it is also true in Danish. Two, Joseph Smith was a true prophet and some of the evidence comes from the BOM and also from Docterine & Covenents. Jesus Christ is our brother, savior and redeemer and we are only able to get back to God and Heaven through his great sacrafice and Atonement. As I have been here I have been trying to figure out my own knowledge of Christ and who he is or was and my conclusion has been that he is and will forever be the man. He was a perfect individual with patience and love but he was also perfectly balanced in all things and I know it is only by his blood that our sins can become clean again. I love you all so much and wish you happy hollidays and close this i Jesu Kristi navn Amen
