Hej!

...

Kinda a bland greeting, isn't it?

But no problem! It's the thought that counts right? Mmm... Nope not when

work is involved. Like taking out the trash. If you just use a though, then

nothing really is accomplished. But ya know whatever. Sometimes the thought

does count. I'm rambling in circles.

Where to begin? This week was pretty slow in regards to work. It just was

an off week. We tried knocking some towns in the middle of nowhere and they

were super negative. Like we weren't even able to teach them lessons on the

doorstep.

Most of our investigators were either sick, or couldn't meet. The ones we

did meet up with, we had sorta... unfocused lessons. One of the people we

taught asked if we wanted some pizzas to eat while we were there. uh... no

need to go out of your way to do that... But anyway, cool. Where does to

line come where being a jerk by turning somebody down becomes necessary?

There was this kinda funny event. We were buying some food, and the server

guy started talking to us. He identified us as religious, and asked us what

we were. Christian? Protestant? I told him were Mormon. His response was

curious. ''Oh yeah, we're Mormon too.'' Um... Yea, sure, I don't know if

you quite understand what I mean... but sure we both believe in Christ.

Maybe next time, we can talk about it.

Danish is improving! Yay! I can follow most conversations if I focus, but

it's still lots of hard work. More language study!

We knocked a middle of nowhere town again. Two this time actually. Knocking

in small towns = super less effective. The most non positive I've seen on my

mission. They weren't exactly negative, but nobody listened to us at all.

Rats. Lots of farmland out there. Oh and I saw the BIGGEST DOG EVER. Easily

up to my chest in size. The bark freaked us out bad. Domesticated dogs are

ok, but those farm ones.... uhugglie.

Not a whole lot this week. Or time either. But that ok. Work goes forward.

Read about the Nephite wars this week. There is some aspects of Spiritual

gold in there. Alma 57:21? Fantastic. I'll let you look it up. About the

stripling warriors. Yes. I hope I remembered that scripture right.
