So, this week we got transfer calls. It's been ridiculously
confusing with the visas coming, then not coming, then coming Again. My head is
going to explode! haha So, this is what's happening with me. I will be staying
in Vejle with Sister Ripplinger and Sister Orgill will be going to Roskilde to
open the area. I am super excited for her, but i will definitely miss her!
It'll feel weird without her. This is where it gets confusing. Sister
Ripplinger and i are for sure staying, but then one of the sisters didn't get
their visa, so we were going to be a tri with sister Mcvey until the last visa
came, but then we heard that the last visa came, so no more tri! Yay! My Whole
mission has been in a tri so far, so it'll be nice to be a normal
companionship. But then, this morning, we got a letter from the mission office
that we were going to be a tri with sister Rigby... So, we don't really know
what's going on. So, this week will be a bit interesting haha
This week has been kind of crazy! All of our Schedules have
been really off with the Whole visa and transfer mess going on. Then, we got a
piano from one of the Ward members... kind of. They couldn't get it up the
stairs to our Apartment (good ol narrow European staircases) so right now it's
sitting in our neighbors garage... haha hopefully they don't mind!
Yesterday was kind of exciting for us. Number one, sister
Orgill is leaving, so we had tons of Pictures, goodbye hugs/handshakes, and a
few tears were shed (the Ward just LOVES sister Orgill) Number two, we may have
guilted a less active that we have been working with into coming to church
because it was sister Orgill's last week here:)Kind of a quiestionable tactic,
but it was our only hope. We have been working with him for the last six weeks.
(he is the guy we went to legoland with a couple weeks ago). This week we
decided to get him involved with our missionary Work. He came with us on
Tuesday to Jelling and Give to visit less actives in the Ward. He felt so good
that he could help out and we promised him Blessings left and right. Well, i
think it worked. It was totally worth listening to him sing "crazy
horses" by the Osmonds for 4 hours straight... haha So when we guilted him
into coming to church on sunday, we only had to beg a Little, and he came! I
know he felt the spirit while he was there. At one point, i looked over at him,
and he was trying to hide the fact that he was tearing up. It was kind of
strange because he's this HUGE guy (everyone says he looks like he's our body
guard) and i have never seen him calm. But, the spirit was so strong at church,
and the members were so welcoming to him, that he told everyone "See you
NeXT week!" We are thrilled! It is so wonderful to see that testimony rekindled
in an individual. IT's one of the greatest feelings to know that they have that
light inside of them and it is starting to shine Again.
Well, that was my week in a nutshell. Busier than ever, but
oh so fullfilling. I hope that everyone is well and i hope you all have a
fantastic week!
Kærlighed,
Søster Erin Handley
