Hej everyone!

Sorry that I didn't send anything last week, we went up to Skagen and also locked ourselves out of the apartment, so it was a little bit crazy of a day. But it has been a good couple of weeks! It has rained a lot, and has been quite the lovely danish summer! 

 

I just need to give a shout out to Elder Hunt and Elder Schaffer. Last week, some crazies (us) forgot the keys when we went grocery shopping. We had 2 appointments and a train to catch all in the next hour, but with two elders, a butcher knife, a metal cheese slicer, a wrench, a missionary nametag, and a pair of pliers, anything is possible and we made it inside. Thanks Elders!

 

We went to a place called the singing trees. Whenever someone famous performs in Aalborg they plant a tree and there is a little speaker with 2 or 3 of their popular songs. We listened to Shakira, Beyonce, Backstreet boys, and Elton John. It was so cool!!! 

 

Also, my trusty watch finally gave up the ghost, so Sister Petersen and I jimmy-rigged it using two hair ties and a little metal circle... she did the same thing to hers a couple months ago, so now we have 'matching' watches. Hahaha.

  

Last week, sister Petersen and I taught at the district meetings in the zone. Our training was on 'Increasing your teaching skills' Preach My Gospel has a section all about that. We decided to teach it by using the idea of 'teaching in the saviors way' It was awesome. If we want to help people follow the Savior's way, we have to teach them in the Savior's way. This can be applied to every teaching situation. Even in our families and with our friends. He loved them, prayed for them, served them. He knew who they were and who they could become. He shared stories applicable to them and that they would understand. He gave them the chance to testify. He trusted them. He invited them to act. And he was their example.  I lLOVE THAT. This really can be used in every situation. Look to the Lord and do the things in His way. We'll  never go wrong. Please get to know the Savior. It is the most valuable and important relationship you can build - He will NEVER abandon you and will NEVER lead you astray. So get to know Him and learn to trust Him :)

I love and miss you all! Hope that you have an incredible week! 

Love, Søster Ludlow
