HAPPY FATHER'S DAY DAD!!! Thanks for everything you've
done to help me get out here on my mission. I love you and hope you have a
wonderful Father's Day next Sunday!
So my introduction in church was way funny. Again,
everyone slaughters my name when they first meet me. When I was called to give
my welcome testimony to the Ward, the Counselor was not even close to saying it
right. He even added a couple Z's so it sounded like "varvzaed." How
do you get that out of Wawro?? Haha!
So Elder Merril is my new companion (I'll attach a picture)
and he's great. He only has this transfer and most of the next transfer left.
He'll leave a week or two early so that he can begin school on time. He's from
Fresno, California. We get along great!

So you asked about that Mission Leadership Council
Meeting. It was way fun! We talked a lot about speaking Danish as a mission and
what we needed to do to change the mission culture so that we speak the
language more and become better teachers in Danish. And yes, there are two
other people from my MTC group who were at the meeting. Ældste Ludlow and
Søster Rogers. It was fun to see them again!
Ældste Merril and
I are in the NordSjælland Zone and we live in a little town called Ordrup. In
fact, let me send you my address so if anyone wants to send me stuff, they'll
know where to find me:
Ældste Christian Patrick Wawro
Henriettevej 9, 1, -3
2920 Charlottenlund
Danmark
So please, feel free to send things to that address!
Here's a lowdown for the last week...
We met with Elijah this past week a couple times. The
first time was this last Wednesday. We generally meet with him every Wednesday.
Elijah is such a great new convert and just wants to know and do what's right.
Even though there's a little bit of a language barrier because he comes from
the Ivory Coast he still he pushing strong and learning.
Elijah also came with us to a lesson of a new
investigator Ældste Merril and I found this past week. We were looking through
some of our old knocking-books and found a few people that said we could come
back. As we were stopping by all of these people, all of them said no except
this one African woman. She told us we could come back on another day so we
made a return appointment with her. When we and Elijah visited her, she wasn't
home. We knocked on her door 3 or 4 times, but no answer. Luckily, right when
we were leaving the apartment building, she walked up with her two kids! We
then went in and taught and awesome lesson about the Restoration! She is super
prepared and has a very strong faith in God and Christ. She agreed to come with
us to church and even prayed at the end that she would be able to make it.
Because our church building is pretty far away, she couldn't get there unless
there was somebody to drive her, so we told her that we would get somebody to
drive her there. Unfortunately, she called the next morning and said she would
be out of town, but we have a return appointment with her and we'll get her to
church this next Sunday!
Other than that, nothing too exciting has happened. We
taught the Gospel Principles class in church about the Church of Christ today
and the Sisters had two investigators there who seemed to really enjoy it. We
stopped by a TON of people and none of them seemed to be home. I guess because
it was pinseweekend [Pentecost Weekend]
everyone was busy with other things.
Oh! We also had a giant splits with the Ward. We had all
the missionaries around meet so we had a total of 10 missionaries and 10 members
meet up and split off two by two to work just in our Ward. We had a lot of
great experiences and got to meet with some less-actives. The Ward is great
here, I love them already.
There's really not a lot to talk about this week. But
remember I love you all and hope you have a fantastic week!
MVH,
-Ældste Wawro
