This week was crazy! I feel like i say that every week, but
i really mean it when i say it! Wow! So up and down, but ended on an up
note, so that's all that matters :)
So, this week we gained 3 new investigators, but then lost
one of them. He wasn't super positive to begin with, so we were kind of
expecting it. But, we also know he'll come back. We also lost the less active
who we weren't even sure that she was a member. The missionaries before us told
her to read D&C before she knew the Book of Mormon was true... Bad idea!
She had some big questions and instead of asking us or turning to the Book of
Mormon, she turned to the internet and found a site set up just like Mormon.org,
but it was all about being an ex-mormon. So, she watched one of those videos
and believed every word of it. Stupid anti-mormon stuff... Gah! Oh well. She'll
come back once she realizes that she's not happy.
On a happier note, we got an investigator we weren't
expecting in church. That was cool! She came with one of her friends and is now
investigating. She's very interested and very excited. Thank goodness for
members who invite their friends to church!
Søster Bishop and i also had an interesting time. Søster
Christensen had to go to a leadership training in Copenhagen, so we were left
all by ourselves in Aalborg. Gah! Two Greenies and no trainer! But, it turned
out to be a really great two days alone.We only got lost once and found our way
back like pros, and we got everything we needed done exactly as planned, with a
little extra time for is. :) But, on the second day, all but one of our
appointments fell apart, and in the one that didn't, the investigator dropped
us! Gah! And no, that was not our fault. He was jus obsessed with money. lame!
But, Søs. Bishop and i successfully pulled our schedule together and made
appointments all by ourselves! We are basically pros!
So, the last place we stopped on our way home was this
little old lady's apartment. It took her forever to open the door, and when she
finally did, we discovered that she was ANCIENT! She was all shaky and looked
like she was 150 years old! I was afriad she was going to keel over and die
right then and there! But, we sort of communicated with her and told her that
we were missionaries coming to visit her. She let us in, and we tried to talk
to her, but we couldn't understand much of what she siad because she was so old
and shaky. We tried as hard as we could to tell her we'd come back later, but
all she said was (In Danish, of course)"I hate americans. You can come
back when you learn Danish!"That was all we understood from her! haha So,
we told her we'd come back when we learn Danish and that God loves her, then we
left. haha
Looking back, there were some pretty rough days this week,
but it was a great week. Things are starting to pick up for us, and i can feel
that something big is just around the corner. It's coming and were ready for
it!
I hope everyone has a great week! Work hard this week and
remember that the lord loves you, and i do too!
Kærlighed,
Søster Erin Handley
