Hej Hej Hej!!
Yesterday marked 7 months! Where did those 7 months go?
It's amazing to me that Christmas is just around the corner. I suppose you all
have Thanksgiving first. Luckily, this week the Nord Jylland Zone will be having
a little feast as well since it is not celebrated here.
The members have been so great and we have barely cooked
at all recently. We are hopping from appointment to appointment with members to
investigators to service and all other sorts of things. We seems to always be
eating with an investigators and/or member. Good thing we cycle and walk everywhere
otherwise I would be faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat!
I'm glad that the YA Performance/Workshop was a blast! As
usual, I know you were all extremely busy with that but it definitely sounded like
it was worth it. If you have a chance say hi to my previous acting partner,
Breanna, as well!

We had a great lesson with one of our investigators this
week. We read through the next chapter in the Book of Mormon which she left off
from in her personal reading and it just happened to be the scripture which introduces
the Liahona. We were able to tie that in with her great experience in church,
her efforts in holding the Word of Wisdom, and commitment to attend church
again. Things are going well with her.
We had a couple lessons with another investigator and his
kæreste [girlfriend]. Both went
really well, but especially the one that we had at one of the member’s homes.
We ate dinner with them and talked about life and it was very hyggelig [cosy]. Somehow, though, the Nielsen
family were able to tie it all in to God and the Gospel and a whole bunch of
other topics. We barely taught anything! So as for your question, Mom, about
how the members are doing with helping us out, they have been really helpful in
almost every aspect of the work.
We've finally gotten in contact with a man who was
referred from Utah in September and we had a first lesson with him in the middle
of that month. He was really nice, has a family with a wife and 2 kids, a businessman,
and seems to be all around a very pleasant man. He left on a business trip to
Utah and we weren't able to contact him until this past week. Turns out that
when we called he was on familysearch.com and was doing genealogy! Amazing! He
also told us that he visited temple square and loved it, and wants to come to church
this next Sunday. He has some questions for us and seems to be very positive
for our next appointment this week. It would be amazing to have an addition
like his family into the Randers Branch.
Yesterday we had another miracle. We didn't have any
investigators who were coming to church and we were sad, but it happens. We
were especially sad because it was the Primary Program. Right before church started
a random man sees that something is going on in the church, decides to check it
out, comes in, and stays for the entire Sacrament Meeting! Afterwards we gave
him a church tour and a pamphlet and he said he would love to come again. He
didn't want our number, but who knows, maybe he will come again!
Thanks for sending those Christmas packages Mom! I'll let
you know when I get them! I don't know how long I'm going to be in Randers and I
only find out if I'm staying another transfer the weekend before, so I can't
give you an answer about that. Hopefully I make it past Christmas because we
have a ton of member appointments planned!
Oh! I mentioned that the Primary Program was held
yesterday. I actually played piano for it and they were so funny! I'm telling
you, there is nothing like a Danish kid speaking at a pulpit. So funny!
I don't have anything else for this week, so prepare to
get some pictures and I can't wait to hear from you all again in one week’s time!
MKH,
Ældste Wawro
P.S. - I also forgot, people have asked to see pictures
of you all but I don't have any printed off! So maybe some point in time you
can prints off some pictures of all of us from whenever and send them over.
That would be fantastic! Love you all!
