Hello Family!
This week has been good. One of my favorite experiences was
doing service for a woman who has m.s. She has met with the missionaries before
but hasn't been taught by them in quite some time. Sister Bishop and I have
been able to keep in touch with her, but everytome we went to visit her she
either wasn't home or she wasn't so interested in having us there. Her m.s. is
very dabilitating (is that a Word?..) and she is in a Wheel chair. SIster
Bishop and I have thought that the best thing we could do for her would be to
serve her, it was just a matter of her being willing to let us serve her. We
decided that we would just show up at her house one day in service clothes
ready to be put to Work. We were prayerful that she would be home and open to
us helping her! Well, last week we showed up at her house and the door was wide
open, good sign right? We called to her and she told us to come in. I think she
was super confused, but we told her that we would love to help her with
anything that she needed done. She put us to Work in her back yard. It was
great! She has a son who is about 11 years old and he kept saying to her, Mom,
it's so nice that there are people who care enough to help you because you
can't do it. It was very touching. It was definitely an answer to our prayers
that we were able to help her.
Wednesday we had dinner with Biskop and his Family and they
invited us to bring a friend. We brought Natalia, the girl we have been
teaching who is from Ukraine. After eating we shared an easter message about
the Savior. The Bishop's daughter asked if we had seen the new video called
because of him, we hadn't, so she showed it to us. Holy cow, it's so
good. Sister Bishop and I have been showing it every opportunity we've had. We
love it so much!
EAster is a 5 day holliday here so it was tough finding
people at home. Saturday evening we had dinner with the elders. Sister
Bishop and I made cafe rio pork and it cooked while we were out working. I was
super worried that our Apartment would catch on fire. luckily it didn't. We
have a picnic table in the back of our Apartment and the weather has been
lovely so it was a lot of fun.
We found a man in our area named Alex who is from AFrica,
turns out he is a member!
Sunday we had Easter dinner at the Sederholm's. It was a lot
of fun. It seriously is so fun being in their Ward.
Monday Ken Hall came to Sjælland to do an easter egg hunt
with some of the missionaries. It was so fun!!! WE played a lot of egg games. I
got egg all over me. It was gross but fun.
Oh yes, I almost forgot! Transfers. Sister Bishop is
transfering to Odense, and I am getting a new companion. Her name is Sister
Sheridan and she was in the MTC at the same time I was just in the other
district.
one of the Pictures is from our eating appointment with the
elders, the other at the easter egg hunt, and this random guy on the street
gave sister Bishop and I roses.
Well. THat's about it I think. I'm sorry i'm not the best
writer. there is like zero organization to my emails. But all that's important
is that you know that I love you!!!!! I hope you all have a great week!
