Hello my dear wonderful family!
First things first. The keys on
this keyboard are sticking, so if there are a ton of typos i'm sorry!
Guess what?! I'm being transferred!
to Esbjerg! Which is pretty funny because that is where sister Hall served
before comig to Odense. I have heard nothig but good things about Esbjerg. I
will also be companions with Sister Hannah Packard. We went to New York
togther. She is the one that is really good friends with Summer! I am pretty
dang excited. I mean, i love Odense, but i didn't realize how ready I was to be
transferred until I actually recived the phone call.
It has been a crazy abnormal
week. We had a lot of big events. Thursday we had a halloween party thing for
invstigators/less actives and it was quite the project. We made haunted
house and It took pretty much all day. It was fun, but I was beat. I'm not sure
how, but I ended up pretty much making all of the food. It was just so hectic!
but pretty funny. Sister Hall and I accidentaly dumped like all of the noodls
into the sink. So yeah that was quite the experience.
Friday was a pretty normal
missionary day. We were able to meet with Birgit finally. she hadn't been
respondig to our texts our calls so we decided to just try and visit her. She
was home! She let us come in and we tlaked for quite a while. She is about 50
and she has cancer. She has a very posotive outlook on life and is very
open to our message. I am excited to hear about what happes with her in the
future.
Before I forget, Sister Hall
and Sister Bartholomew went to copenhagen on tuesday to take their language
test. So sister Rigby and I were on splits together. Oh wait! K so monday there
was like this crazy huge storm in Denmark. People couldn't even ride their
bikes, and the next day a ton of trees were broken and stuff. The missionaries
had to stay inside. So we bakded bannana bread and listend to christmas music.
It was quite hyggeligt. Anyways, back to tuesdy so the other sisters hav e been
teachig a young woman named Isabella. She lives in our ward so Sister
Hall and I have been working with her now. Tuesday Sister Rigby adn I had a
lesson with her and explaied why it's so important that she goes to the ward
that she lives in. at first she hd areally hard time with it, but all we
had to say was God's house is a house of order. It was really cool to see how
it just clicked. She came to the second ward yesterday and fasted for the first
time. She is such a special girl. i am sad to leave her. She wants to be
baptized in january:)
Saturday was sister Hall's
birthday. We had an eating appoitmnt with one of the young singl adults and she
had a little birthdya party for her. It was a lot of fun. I'm such an awkward
missionary though. haha It's hard because I'm not Katherine, I'm sister Murray.
I mean I'm still my self, but it's not the same ya know?
Sunday we had an amazing fast
and testimoy meeting. Last week Ninna went to the temple to do her mother's baptism
and confirmation. She had a wonderful experience. A lot of the testimoies were
focussed on the temple. It was really neat. One of the young men about David's
age got up and bore his testimony and it was very very touching. It was just a
really good meeting. JJ a member from greenland invited his sister to come. She
isn't a member and she just crited through all of sacramnt meeting. It was very
sweet. It was kind of hard sayig goodbye to the people I love. Especially
Ninna. Holy Cow I didn't relaize that it would be that hard. I have her
information and will definitly be keeping in touch. Guss what?! Yesterday Lucia
was in all three hours of church and so was her big sister who isn't a
member. IT was great! Mona also told us that her dad wants to staart coming
back to church. What a huge blesing.
We had a little fireside thing
for the young adults after churh and pretty much everything thta could have
gone wrong went wrong. Holy cow. Long story short it turned out okay. we
watched the other side of heaven. Well, I didn't watch it because I was like
wired and couldn't relax so I cut apples with the other sisters hahaa. I'm
pretty sure missionaries feel way to much stress. It's okay though because it
somehow always manages to work out! We definitely have someone watching over
us. Mom- we made the apple dip with the toffee in it for the dessert and they
all loved it. Just thought I would let you know:) It was a hectic night though.
It was just crazy because church was just absolutely wonderful nd then everything
just went crazy. It will definitely be a night thta I rmmber.
Well that's about it. It was a
good and crzazy week. I love you all so much! Have a wonderful week!
Love Katherine
ps. I didn't have any migraines this week:) woohoo!
