Happy
Thanksgiving!!!
I
hope you all had an absolutely wonderful Thanksgiving week because I sure did!
I was feeling pretty low at the beginning of the week because I knew that Danes
don't celebrate Thanksgiving and that we would most likely be alone the entire
day. But what do you know the Lord blessed us with an incredible
family from the great U S of A to invite us over for Thanksgiving dinner!!
His name is Trey Greenwood and is an inactive member of the church, but when he
heard that some American missionaries were going to go without a Thanksgiving,
he quickly invited us over to spend it with his lovely wife and children. It
was such an amazing afternoon. Trey had an ancient guitar that had been broken
for decades and had never been able to fix it (one of the tuning pegs was
cracked where the string wraps around. Pardon my guitar jargon) so I took a
swing at it and got it sounding as good as new!! We played guitar and sang
songs together all night long. It was a night to remember.
Other
than that, we've been very blessed with tons of people to teach. There used to
be days in my last transfer where we would sometimes go an entire day without
teaching a single lesson, but that NEVER happens now. The investigators just
come flowing in. We found a new investigator this week named Natada. She's from
Thailand and her Danish is really not that good. We sat next to her on a bus
one day and started talking. We couldn't get much across, but managed to find
out that she had recently lost her husband. Naturally we started telling her about
the plan of salvation and that she would see her husband again, and she lost
it. Right there on a crowded bus full of judgmental Danes she just started
weeping. She asked us how this was possible that she could ever see him Again
and we continued to teach the entire discussion right there on the bus. As she
got off at her stop we managed to get her phone number and give her the address
to the church and what do you know, she showed up to church on Sunday!!
The
Lord Places people in our path every day. It's quite incredible. Dang I love
the Plan of Salvation. Eternal families are SWEET!!!!
I
love you all!
