Things are running along great here on Bornholm! It was
another great week with Ældste Horrocks. The sun actually shined a few times
this week. We are getting ready to leave on the ferry to go to Sweden to catch
a train to Copenhagen for our Christmas Zone Conference! Yay! Happy December
everyone! And especially Happy Birthday to my wonderful Mother in just a couple
more days! I can't tell you how blessed I am to have you as my mom.
We also had Thanksgiving with the Mogensens! The
Mogensens feed us all the time because we help them so much. They take good
care of us and they've pretty much become our family here in Denmark.

We had a lesson with *T* earlier on this week. Again, *T*
isn't all that positive, but he always has referrals for us. This week, he had
a friend over. His friend is 23 years old and is a very nice and open person.
We were able to talk about the Book of Mormon with him and the entire time we
talked about it his eyes were really wide and he asked lots of great questions.
When we told him he could have one for free, he was really excited! We were
having high hopes with him until we asked him if we could meet again and he
just said "No." That was disappointing, but if he actually reads
he'll know how to get in contact with us for further questions.
We found another new investigator as well. We had an
eating appointment with a couple of our other investigators, both just amazing,
christian ladies. They had invited their friend, to come as well. He is a very
intelligent man in his 30's who is just begun again to practice Christianity.
It turned out to be a really good appointment and at the end, he quoted a
scripture which Ældste Horrocks had just read that morning in his personal
study. He thought that that was awesome, and by the end of the night he said,
"If you ever are around Nexø, make sure that you stop by. You two are
always welcome at my place." So we're excited to start teaching him!
Towards the end of the week we received a call from an
unknown number. It was from some students here that wanted to interview us
about "Mormonism" so on Thursday we met up with them at the library
and they interviewed us! They asked some great questions and didn't ask
anything negative or strange about our religion. There was one of them that
really seemed interested in everything that we were saying. It was a great
opportunity to let them know what we really believe in and for them to present
it at their school. We also made sure that if they decided to look for more
information to look at mormon.org and lds.org.
As you know, a great deal of our time was spent helping
the Mogensens as well. Things are going great, they are actually starting to
sleep in the new house now even though not all of the rooms are finished. By
some miracle we were able to move all of the stuff for the 3 kids that lived in
the factory out and collect all other personal belongings by yesterday
evening. I tried to imagine what would have happened if we weren't there.
There is no way that they could have done it.
I've really come to love that family. I love serving them
and love being with them. They deserve so much more than what they have, but
are still content with the situation they've been given. I've learned a lot
from them and will always remember what they've done for me, even though it's
only been a couple of weeks now.
Hey, well, those are all of the important details of the
week. Just remember, I love you all! Have a great first week of December!
MKH,
