19 The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: but theLord shall be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory.
Everyone,
We are almost done losing sunlight here in Denmark. Today we talked about how we only have two more days, and then the days will get longer. This may seem like a strange conversation to have for two missionaries, but when you haven't seen the sun in like 4 days than it makes perfect sense. We have had thick clouds and fog which have blocked out the sun. There is still light, but you don't see where it is coming from.
Brian met with us last week. We went over "The Living Christ" with him. The spirit was there, and it was a great reminder for us as well. Then he brought up some concerns about the word of wisdom. He has a mormon friend from Utah who drinks when he come to conferences here in Europe. This is now a big roadblock with his progress. We are working on helping him gain a testimony in his heart of the gospel. -- For all of the kids who are reading this. Don't compromise your standards because others are doing it too! Your example could really affect someone!
District meeting was great. We had it at the Larsens' apartment in Århus. There were only six of us because the other four missionaries were in the missionary choir. We discussed ideas about working through the holiday season.
One of the members brought a friend to church this week. His name is Mikeal, and we taught him during the Jule Frokost two weeks ago. He is interested in becoming Christian, and this member is helping him learn about the gospel. We need to work through a few things before we can really teach him. Guest class was great though for him because it was all about Christ and who he is.
We had family night with the Jensen Family. They asked us to prepare a lesson. I brought my oragami paper, and we all made a piece, and then I assembled them all into a cube. We discussed how we can work together as a family in order to achieve something. During the car ride home Brother Jensen was really grateful for our message. This is the family we will be spending the 24th with (Danish Christmas Day), so we are really excited.
God jul til jer alle sammen!
Ældste Francis
