It was a decent week this last one. Not the highest success but still on top of it. Zone Conference on Tirsdag was a highlight of mine. All of it seems very spirit led. Once again all the review of the Mission Conference was very insightful. The constant theme of having faith as an action to find, goal setting and planning have been good reminders of our focus at the moment. We are still not perfect at it and it's a constant experiment to see how it works and how we can maximize its power. And of course being happy. I absolutely love it when the leadership say things that through applying principals we learn, I can feel in their words that our goals are 100% possible to achieve. Big mission changing goals. That excitement really starts to build up in me, and I feel like I'm 10 feet tall and nothing can stop me! We've got the Lord on our side and so nothing is impossible. Like what Æ. Kearon said, ''We are here to prepare the world for the Saviors return. We can and we must.'' So thats a super inspiring and powerful statement. The spirit was very there. The week as far as work goes was ok. We reached our 'other lessons' goal which is totally exciting! A lot of finding was done. All day contacting down the Amagerbro. If we reached our goal, then that must mean it was inspired and we did what we planned to accomplish, at least in that aspect. We did ask the branch president to pray to receive inspiration for what we can do to best help the branch and as we were doing service at the church, he said that 3 names of less actives had come to mind for us to work with. So we are going to focus on those this coming week. Don't know how yet. Not even sure what to say. But this is what he's been inspired to tell us, so we are going for it, with faith that we will succeed. This is the Lords errand. We joined the members in a cleaning out of our church building, and in getting rid of old stuff, like broken chairs and old cabinets. We also went through all the old Spejder (scout) basement stuff. I was very impressed at how much stuff they had and how well run the program was set up. You would have been proud dad. They had a woodshop right there, so there were lots of little projects made out. Swords, walking sticks, little replicas of things you could build with wood and rope. Lots of little troop flags and odd pieces of wood all around. Even an old pinewood derby car set. (They were going to throw it away, so we snagged it on the way out. ;-) ) It looked like a lot of fun, and I liked the concept of a Scout... fort you could say? Hut? Base? Something like that, where all the equipment could be stored. There was even a little pioneer handcart they'd made at one point. So that was fun seeing all the history. So I guess that was most of our week. I'm sure there are tons of other details in there, but for now it suits me. Håb du har det godt! Ældste T. Christensen
