So this week was fun. I went to the doctor, he thinks I have a bacterial infection and then told me I would have to take a blood test and another test that I don't want to talk about... anyway long story short we go back on Wednesday to see what's wrong and I really think they're wrong cause I haven't been throwing up. Also I thought going to the dentist in Danish was scary, but having a lady take blood from you while telling you that you have a british accent when you speak Danish (Lies!) and not really knowing how much blood they are taking is even scarier. Mission accomplished. I'm alive. If you wanna worry about somebody worry about Trevin's ant infestation in Africa or Conner being in the middle of a warzone in Ukraine. I'm fine =)
So doing work this week has been kind of a challenge because of the doctor telling me to rest and stuff so we've had to take more breaks during the day which is dumb. On top of that, nobody has been home this week! We had two appointments cancel on us, and another person didn't show up to a third and of our good investigators one has a stomach infection (coincidence?) one is out of town, and the rest all have crazy things going on like opening a restaraunt and calling us over to check it out and then offering us black market jobs (true story). No worries we told him we couldn't do black market under the radar labour to avoid taxes. I think he misunderstood me when I offered to provide service. The only productive stuff we were able to do was to setup a few appointments and to knock a few appartments, but nothing came out of that.
As you can guess missioanry appartments are super boring so Elder Lawless decided to take some selfies with my camera. Værsgo
But this week has been one of learning. I'm a few pages away from finishing Jesus the Christ, started a study journal to keep track of questions we get, and I've been able to see a bunch of random people thanks to a members birthday party. Her name is Benta and she's basically our grandma here! She's the one that you saw over Skype Mom and Dad.
Had to be careful not to drink any alcohol at the party, I was confused when the bottle of water I picked out of the cooler said ''VODKA'' on the side. Danes still buy alcohol when they're Mormon so they can give it to their non member friends and family... go figure haha!
But we did have one pretty cool experience this week, we were on our way back to the appartment after a less active lady didn't answer the door and an investigator wasn't home. We were walking down one of the bigger streets in the city and we passed a restaraunt called Uptown Burger, for some reason I decided I really wanted to look at the menu... I just kind of stopped and started going through the prices of the outside menu of a place I'd already eaten at when this guy noticed me and came out of the restaraunt and starts talking at us a thousand miles an hour. He told us that we were going to get to be real good friends, and I was worried at first that he was crazy, but he stops and gets this big grin on his face and says ''We're gonna be real good friends cause you guys look like Mormons!'' I was way confused but after asking him a bit about how he knew us he told us that he used to meet with people like us and got a lot of good reading material from us and that he wanted to exchage digits so that we could meet up again. Jo tak! We got his address and are gonna stop by him sometime this week. So I guess one of the more productive things we were able to accomplish happened just because I was prompted to look at a menu and ''look like a Mormon'' haha! Go figure :) So everyone back home, keep looking Mormon cause maybe you'll help someone!
Anyway, love you all, hopefully I'll be healthy again soon and get back to telling a bunch of anti-social atheists that God exists and that he loves them! It's the life :D
Vi ses y'all <3 Elder Durrant
