This week has been a bit up and Down, but we'll focus on the positive this week :)

So, the great news. We have a baptismal date! :D I am crazy excited! It's with a lady that Sister Orgill and Hadley had met with once or twice before transfers happened. We've been calling her and texting her to keep in contact and answer questions. We invited her to the baptism of an 8 year old boy in the Ward and she loved it! We invited her to be baptized and she got so excited! We set a date for the 21st of September. She went around and told everyone that she was going to be baptized and that she was so excited! The only problem now is that the Dane's go all out with their baptisms, and i don't know if we missionaries can go all out like that for her. They had crazy amounts of food and a laminated program. It was crazy! But, i think she's just so excited to get baptized and recieve the holy ghost that i don't think it will matter.

So, the second counselor in the bishopric is crazy good with music. He can play just about any instrument he picks up! We had dinner with his Family last night, and they showed us all of their musical talent. It was amazing! As we were talking to them he mentioned that a band here in Denmark called him and they want him to be their pianist. Crazy! They're the Fenders, or the Fenors or something like that. It was pretty exciting. OUr second counselor might be famous!

THis week we had a tender mercy. Two, actually, in the same day. First, we were trying to find the houses of two less actives which were supposed to be on the same street. Their houses didn't exist, so we stopped to ask a lady WHO was outside if she could help us. She was so sweet! She and her daughter dropped everything they were doing to help us. They even ran inside to Google map it for us so we could see where they lived. It ended up being on the other side of town. It was so sweet! They were very helpful to us. Then, as we were leaving their house, we went to catch the bus. The bus stop we were trying to get to was a ways Down the street, but the bus was already coming! So we ran to catch the bus. We were definitely not going to make it, so the bus driver stopped and let us in. We got on, thanked him, of course, then we realized that the stop we were trying to get to didn't even exist! The bus driver was just kind and picked us up out of the kindness of his Heart. I was so touched by the generousity of both the bus driver and the Family that helped us out. I love all of the tender mercies our Heavely Father gives us :)

I hope everyone has a great week this week! Thanks for all of the letters and love and support i've gotten from everyone!

Kærlighed,
