Hallo familie!
Okay so I told you last week that I was pretty sad that
Sister Packard was being transferred. It has been weird not having her here in
Esbjerg and I have missed her, but I am absolutely loving Sister Vige. She
is so much fun!
Wednesday Sister Packard and I took the train to Frederecia
where Sister Packard met up with her new companion and continued on her way to
Aalborg. Sister Vige was there waiting for me and we went straight to the zone
training. I like zone trainings, it's always fun to see everybody. Our mission
has placed emphasis on finding families, so our zone set the goal of being out
finding from 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm when families our most likely to be home. So
Sister Vige and I have been doing a lot of contacting and knocking during those
two hours. We have been having a lot of fun with it. Yesterday, we contacted
this girl from Romania. There was kind of a language barrior. When we were
just about finished talking to her we asked if we could say a prayer with her.
She was so confused. After like 5 times of trying to explain prayer she finally
said yes! She then gave us both a hug and walked away. hahahah it was funny. I
guess prayer and hug are kind of similiar....? But hey, she's meeting us at the
church on Tuesday so we can show her around. That is, if she can find the church.
We were also able to talk to this woman who has had an
extremely hard life. She was abused as a child and has been alone her Whole
life. You should have seen her face light up when we told her that she has a
loving Heavenly Father who loves her and has a plan for her. We tried really
hard to get a return appointment with her, but she said she will come to church
first. Hopefully!!! 
Saturday we went to Odense! After 7 sister missionaries,
Isabella was baptized! It was a wonderful baptism. It was fun to be in Odense
and see the Ward members. I also finally picked up my bike. It has been in
Odense since I transferred because they have bikes here in Esbjerg. I thought I
better pick it up though. It's still working great and in really good
condition! I also was able to see the remodled Apartment. It looks really good.
Better than it ever looked when I lived there. I can't remember if I told you,
but after the fire when they were getting the furniture out they moved one of
the really big dressers and appearently the wall was covered with Black mold.
So the fire actuallyl saved us all from dieing of Black mold.
Abia and Min both recieved the pristhood on Sunday! That was
really exciting. Abia was baptized in June and still hadn't recieved the
pristhood. I can't believe how big the Ward in Riverton is getting. That's
crazy!
I finally saw the ocean since being here in Esbjerg! I also
so the four White men statues. I wasn't able to take Pictures though
because we were biking to an appointment. I ended up getting us lost.
oops. Luckily Sister Vige is super patient with me! She is probably one of
the most posotive people I have ever met. It's good for me. Not that i'm
negative or anything... haha I'm just a realist! We also have
the same Birthday! she is just one year older than me.
Things are going well though. I feel like this past week I
have been able to recognize the changes that have taken place within me
since I have been on my mission. I am so grateful for our Savior Jesus Christ.
I want to be like him and I know that through his atonement we can be like
Him. What a wonderful Blessing it is to help others feel of his love. He
is hastening his work and it so incredible to be a part of it.
I love you all and am praying for you. Have a great
week! Have soooo much fun celebrating Mom's birthday! Love you!
Love Katherine
