Hej!!

How was everyone's week? This week here in Slagelse was sweet! So much fun! Super crazy... We went on splits twice, had a ton of service projects, and got to go into Copenhagen! So lots happened :) I'll try and give a good report

Funny story of the week: I was on splits with Æ. Redd, an Elder from my MTC group, and we were just out contacting in the morning, having a good time. We walked past an old folk's home and this lady came running out and was like "Hey, have you seen an old, blond lady walking around? She probably looks way confused." We told her that we hadn't  but that we'd keep our eyes out. Haha we laughed at it a bit and told funny stories about older people and continued walking towards our church. And there was a funny surprise waiting for us there! A very confused old blond lady haha :) We found her! She was crawling along the outside of the church knocking on windows and saying "Hello?" haha because she thought it was the old folks home. So we went up and asked her if she needed help. We told her we could take her to the old folks home, so she grabbed our hands and we walked her back haha :) So we helped rescue an old lady! kinda funny. Especially since we had been joking about finding her. Didn't think we actually would! But she was way sweet and nice and it was fun walking her back. 

The highlight of the week was definitely Wednesday. We had an MTC reunion! President called our whole MTC group into Copenhagen for a special training and temple trip :) and holy cow it was a blast. It was so fun to see everyone and it was just like the MTC had never even ended.  ​They got us all into one room and it just picked up right where it ended at the MTC, all the jokes and funny stories. It was super fun. They got us Dominos Pizza!!! It was so good! I didn't know they had it here and it tasted exactly the same :) So great! 
Haha Just like the good old days, Me and Æ. Metcalf :) It was a ton of fun catching up with him. In the MTC, we used to go and get temple food after going to the temple (any break from MTC food was amazing ha), so after the temple trip after our training Æ. Metcalf and I went down into the temple's cafeteria (just a small room with a couple of tables and a microwave) and enjoyed a couple of sandwiches together in honor of all the good times :) It was such a blast being there with everyone and telling stories about all the things that happened, so that was definitely the highlight of the week. We got to see the new temple film finally too!! I know, I'm a little late, but it was awesome! Just a great day. 

And the rest of the week after that was service!! It was pretty great. The weather was nice and we got to go outside and help out with a bunch of different projects. I got a little bit of sun so I'm finally not pure white anymore! Still pretty darn white, but at least its not as bad! and I found a newt. Or salimander... I'm not sure what the difference is...  

So it was a good week!! All is going well and I am still having a great time in my new area. The work is going great, we are busy and having a really good time. Hopefully it is going just as good for you all back home! Hope you have a great week :) love you and miss you all! Don't miss em!!
