Mormon 5:23 - February 6, 2017

23 Know ye not that ye are in the hands of God? Know ye not that he hath all power, and at his great command theearth shall be rolled together as a scroll?

Everyone,

Our week is in two parts. Before zone training and after zone training. As already spoken of in all the other missionary emails we have a new schudule. Since I am in Nord Jylland we got it on Friday. It sounded really easy to us. You create your schedule bassed on the the day, and when it will be most effective. Needless to say we had a lot of curve balls from the Lord on both Saturday and Sunday. It was so confusing. Both of us are hoping that things will settle down this week, so we won't be so stressed with it.

Back to our week. All of our appointments fell through. We did lots of good contacting and knocking. We got several new potentials, so that was exciting. One thing we started is carrying a Mormons Bog with us when we are outside. It has really helped when we talk to people because they can see it. It is a constant reminder that we want to help these people, and they way to help them start is in our hand.

The branch texted us late one night asking if we could help with a service project. It was to help a less active in the branch move across town. The apartments were relativly the same size, but we filled the knew one really fast with boxes, tables, couches, and bags. When she arrived she said that she hadn't bought anything new since the last time she moved, and she didn't know why there was so much stuff. We learned from the branch that this is the third time she has moved in the last year. One thing I liked about it was to see the members start talking to her about the gospel. It will take some time, but I thing our help made a difference.

My favorite contact this week was with a girl named Sabina. We knocked on her door, and started talking about faith and hope. Eventually we started talking about the Book of Mormon. She got really happy, and said, "Why have I never heard of this before?" She accepted a copy, and said that we could come back. We have already been in contact with her again, so we should have a good dicussion with her this week.

This week I have worked on faith. I thought this scripture from Mormon helps us to remember that we need faith. The Lord has a plan, and we sometimes are just a small thread in the tapestry. We are still needed to complete the picture.
