 Hello! Hej! Godt dag!

Busy week with the many people we meet. Many miles we walk.

This week we had a branch movie night. That was really great to build up

the ward. They watched 'The other side of heaven' but me and my companion

couldn't stay because no less active or investigator had come. Rats. We

were able to go afterwards to the snacking time, where we ate fløeboller,

(chocolate covered marshmallow cream things. DELICOUS) and hung out with the

members. It was a great!

The work progresses slowly in Skive. Our investigators are hard to meet

with and our less actives even more. We did have a fantastic Zone Training

this week. I love those meetings so much, because they refocus your work

for the week. It's a great blessing and if you take the right notes, a

powerful learning experience. And my mission president grows in my eyes. He

is an incredible man of god. He has a astounding testimony of the Atonement

and of The Son. As he bore his testimony of it, the Sprit in the room was

incredibly powerful and there was nothing you could say that could deny it.

It spoke absolute truth.

Random story for the week. Me and my companion were walking down a small

walkway, and right to my left was this black cat. As my companion walked by

him, I looked at the cat and said ''I dare you to cross my path cat.'' No

sooner had I said that then right in front of me, this black cat walked

right across my path. oops. Good thing I'm not superstitious.

Oh. And the bus system is super cool lately. I feel cool just riding them.

The picture says why.

Study for the week was the will of the Lord. All things according to his

will. We need to sync our will with His. How do we do that? Several ways.

Start at 3rd Nephi 5:13-14. Exercises greater faith in Christ. All things

according to the will of God. All things asked in the Spirit are the will of

God. (D&C46:30)  There is great faith required in doing these things. They

can be also formed through scripture study, frequent prayer and fasting, and

also priesthood blessings. And do all these actions in the name of Jesus

Christ, the Son of God, who has Atoned for our sins, so we can be free

from them and our weaknesses. Obedience is the Key to bringing your will to

Gods.

That's my tidbit for the week! Yes I am still alive. And just so you all

know, it rains a LOT here. It's sunny and it still rains. Go figure.
