Well our P-Day was interestingly spent at an electricity museum
Thanks to our branch for that fun little trip. This first week with Elder Lawless has been way interesting to say the least. It started when he twisted of the end of his key in his bike lock. Long story short, we got permission from the police department to take their bolt cutters and a signed note stating we had permission to cut a lock and went into the middle of the busiest part of town and proceeded to steal Elder Lawless's bike back. Nobody even asked us what we were doing... Denmark man. Oh, we also had a second run-in with the authorities when we each got slapped with a 150 dollar ticket because our train ticket was invalid. I went to the ticket station and showed them that it was their own fault and got the tickets removed but it was interesting to say the least!
As far as missionary life goes this week not a lot of people have been home. I've been feeling very sick these last little bit, I've dropped almost 15 pounds and if any of you know me you know that I can't afford to drop that much weight! My body has just felt very out of whack and I don't know why so keep me in your prayers :)
We did have one way good lesson though. We taught a Brazilian lady named Diana with a married couple that's on a mission in Denmark. Diana is awesome, she had high lighted different parts of Alma 32 (all the good ones we wanted to discuss!) and asked a lot of good questions. She really wants to help herself find faith and to help her two little kids have more faith than the Danes she sees around her. She didn't come to church (seems to be impossible in this area) but she told me and Elder Lawless that we were angels and that she felt as if she had exercised her faith. Expect good news! Also we found a way to keep teaching Else, the lady we have talked to about baptism. She is (hopefully) going to come over to a members house for dinner soon and have a lesson with us all after. She really likes talking to us and told me I speak Danish like I've been around high class people instead of street Danish which I guess is a good thing? Anyway she's really accepting and really interested as well, so those two are the main focus of our teaching. The married couples testimony to Diana of how the church has helped their family really impressed me, I think that is the biggest strength to my testimony is the affect the gospel has on all of the families I have seen in my life. So hat's off to all of you back home cause you're awesome :) The spirit was there at that lesson and I can only pray that Diana will find a way to get her husband to either listen as well or to accept her bringing her children to church.
This is us next to a replica of the atomic bomb, because science. I promise I'm not tiny, Elder Lawless is 6'5''
But hey, love you all and miss you a whole bunch. For reals. Keep being awesome. Hope I feel better, cause I don't feel all that good. So yeah.
Love ya!
