Halleluja: Følg Ham of find nyt liv‏ - March 28, 2016

Fish bought downstairs below our apartment

Everyone,

This week has been a real rollercoaster starting on Monday. Elder Shuppy popped his knee cap out of place, so we spent Monday night at the hospital. This doctors were able to pop it back in, but they needed x-rays of it. He has a cast and crutches now, and cannot bike. This has really slowed us down, but we have walked quite far this week. The Blackums and the members here have really helped us out several times.

Waiting at the hospital

Tuesday we had two great member present lessons. The first one was with a Syrian family who knows John, our most recent convert, in the branch. It was a different lesson because they couldn't understand our Danish, but when the member would say it they understood it all. They had great questions for us on God. Their religion is a mix a Christian and idol worship. They don't have any sacred texts, and it is spoken to their children. It has been passed down for many generations. It will be a stretch for them to accept our message, but they have shown some interest which is great.

Everyone,

My joy is full as I have worked this week. Yesterday was incredible. I can't explain in full detail how spiritually high Elder Shuppy and I feel right now. We were talking to the members before church started when one of our investigators Meratu walked in WITH his uncle. Both of us were so surprised because we hadn't expected them to come. We translated sacrament meeting for them, and afterwards they asked when we could come to teach them. The branch was really kind to them, and hopes that they will come again.

Closer to dinner time we went knocking. I didn't feel right about where we were, so we decided to do some stop bys on the southern end of town. First one we did was Henriette. She wasnt' there for our planned appointment, and we couldn't seem to get in contact with her after that. The window to her apartment was open, so we knew someone was home. No one answered when we knocked, but just before we left she opened up to us. Our lesson with her was on the Restoration. The Spirit was really strong as we taught, and we were able to answer all of her questions. She said her oldest daughter accepted the Mormons bog that we left last time, so our next appointment will be with both of them.

Everyone,

This week has been one of the best since I have been on a mission. We hit 6 other lessons, 3 progressing, and 2 new investigators. Elder Shuppy and I are trying really hard to use everything that we have been given, and it is starting to pay off.

Henriette is probably are most positive investigator now. After canceling twice on us she let us come back on Thursday. She has a strong desire to do what is right, and was excited to receive a Mormons Bog. We had a short lesson on Frelsesplanen with her, and she really enjoyed it. This week she is committed to start reading and praying. We are so excited for her, and hope to invite her to church this Sunday.

Luke 23:42 And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. 

43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.

 Alma 40:11 Now, concerning the state of the soul between deathand the resurrection—Behold, it has been made known unto me by an angel, that the spirits of all men, as soon as they are departed from this mortal body, yea, the spirits of all men, whether they be good or evil, are taken home to that God who gave them life.

 12 And then shall it come to pass, that the spirits of those who are righteous are received into a state of happiness, which is called paradise, a state of rest, a state of peace, where they shall rest from all their troubles and from all care, and sorrow.

One of the many ships

Everyone,

Lots of rain and snow this week. Most nights we come in wet and cold, but really happy about what happened during the day. We have had so many miracles this week. Hopefully you can understand them, and feel the joy from each of them.
