Silkeborg --------> Holbæk

Ah! So much happened this week but the computers at the library in Holbæk are messed up so I might only have an hour to write today!
 
We ''climbed'' the tallest ''mountain'' in Denmark this week for my last district meeting in Silkeborg. It's called Himmelbjerg which means SkyMountain but as you can see it's literally a small hill. Denmark is very very flat. It was way neat though and if I don't show pictures it sounds way cooler than it actually is.
 


 
So these last seven days of Silkeborg have been intense. We had three lessons with people who told me that they were going to come to church! Vita, the one who we do service for and thinks we are the change she's waited for... Kristina the lady who I talked about last week that is super willing to learn and change... and Diana, a lady from Brazil who is very positive as well. I finally thought that out of these three I'd finally get the chance to sit next to an investigator during Silkeborg church, but none of them showed up! Super lame. I do think that these people will see major progress with the church, but unfortunately it won't be while I'm in Silkeborg.
 
I also got a chance to be in Laven, in my opinion the most beautiful spot in the World. They had a field of gold there, they are all over the place in Denmark... check it out.
 

 
Yellow flowers that went on forever! I'll send some more Laven Pictures in another email.
 
But yes, I left Silkeborg! And I have 14 months left so I thought that this sign was very appropriate.
 

 
The Work here in Holbæk is going very well. I just got here a few hours ago and unpacked with the help of my new companion Elder Enniss. He is from Riverton Utah and has been out the same amount of time as Elder Lawless (around 7 months). We have a CAR! It's absolutely fantastic, I love train rides but driving Down the Danish highway with the yellow fields and rolling hills on either side is just as great! Anyway the Ward I'm in is the biggest Ward in all of Denmark which should be fun since I'm coming from probably the smallest branch in all of Denmark. They are currently in the middle of a 100 day fast for missionary Work which means that each day for 100 days there is one member or one Family that is fasting for the Work in the Roskilde Ward to go forward. (I go to the Roskilde Ward even though I live about 30 mins North-West in Holbæk.)
 
So the sun is out now because it's summer and it's hardly ever dark unless we are in the Apartment! It's great. Now that I have a car and a big Ward with eating appointments I'm really gonna focus on putting that lost weight back on haha, I think I'll be back into the grind here soon and get to contact like crazy! Starting a new area is a real chance to go finding because you will have a lot of time to Work with the people that you meet at the start. I could easily see myself staying here for four transfers, but you never know!
 
I have a lot more to write but not too much time! I'll just use Pictures haha
 
Love you!
