Hello Everyone! 

Wow, I swear, every week goes by faster than the first! This week was great. We were in Aalborg for splits (I LOVE AALBORG), and then we had Zone conference in Aarhus where we talked all about the Savior and his life, and then yesterday we had Stake Conference in Aarhus which was incredible :) 

But, some details: we have an investigator who has some social problems, so he doesn't like to sit and chat. He came to an eating appointment with us and after the main course was over, he said a very nice polite goodbye and started leaving, but the mom just says 'Hey, don't you want some dessert?' and he goes DESSERT? and immediately came back and sat down haha. IT was funny. Also Sister Kuhlo is such a power house. She commanded the clouds to not rain until we were done with our service project, and the second we came inside from the project, it started dumping it. WHAT. She's cool. 

Here's a really cool thought from Stake Conference: Is it God and Christ's job to fix our problems? Or is it their job to prepare us for eternal life, happiness, and godhood? A lot of the times we get frustrated or irritated because things just aren't going how we thought they would/wanted them to. We think that our prayers are going unanswered, but they are being answered.... just not in the way we want them to. Its hard to explain the things this made me think about, but the big lesson behind it is that God knows us. HE is preparing us. He hears AND ANSWERS every prayer. but just because he answers, doesn't mean he answers how we want Him to. We forget that he has the bigger perspective. so if you feel like you just aren't being heard, try taking a step back and asking Him what it is that you are missing - what is He trying to teach/tell you that you aren't quite understanding or seeing. He wants to teach us and help us - so let HIm! I promise you all that Christ lives and loves you. God answers prayers. He wants to hear what you have been dying to say. Speak with him :) Let HIm love you!

I hope you have a great week! Be good!
