Weel 10 -chokolade

Man oh man....I don't know where the weeks go. I've been in Denmark for a month come one of these days soon. It's weird. Still don't know half of the danish that is spoken to me but I guess that's what makes it fun, ik? (ik=right/yeah/words said to gain some sort of confirmation) But because I've been here for a month i will be in Copenhagen from tomorrow to Friday doing stuff with my MTC distrikt with the Mission president and his wife which is exciting! Some more training, sight seeing (I'll take pic swips) and THE TEMPLE! WOO!

Awesome Denmark

MY WORK PERMIT CAME THROUGH! I am now LEGALLY allowed to be here in Denmark! Fancy dancy pantsy visa holding Denmark missionary lady - that's mee!

A day in the Life of Søster Chesley:

6.30 wake up, do some poor excuse for a work out

7.00 get ready for the day and eat breakfast and stuff

8.00 personal study time

9.00 companionship study time

10.00 training time

11.00 leave the apartment to go do stuff

12.00 lunch (usually)

13.00 language study time

14.00 go out and do stuff whether it's lessons or talking to random people or what

17.00 dinner (usually)

16.00 go out and do stuff

21.00 come in and plan for next day

21.30 rest time

22.30 bed time HOLLA

and then we do it all over again. It's typically like this unless weird stuff comes up.

SLÆGTS FORSKNING! AKA FAMILY HISTORY!

EVERYONE DO IT! MORMONS NONMORMONS IT DOESN'T MATTER! Family history is so excitingggg and I love it so much! What a way to help people out by teaching them about their family's and whatnot! We've been helping people with their family history and it's just such an awesome experience getting to know where these people come from! We have a friend who is from Syria, He's lived in Beirut and Lebanon and Italy and he has his family tracked down to the 600s! WHAT?familysearch.org has one of the biggest databases  for family history finding and whatnot and the best part? IT IS FREE! Oh man...the Spirit of Elijah has been super strong and very much there in my heart. yes yes yes.

Mathilde, a cute less active did our nails today

We had a super awesome lesson with a less-active member who is so cute. She's the sweetest thing and gave me a little cactus candle! Oh my goodness it's perfect because candles are fiery and hot just like where the cactus grows in ARIZONA! ugh. she's so sweet. Anyways, we talked about how it isn't a sin to be weak. How God doesn't forgive us for our weaknesses, through His grace we are made stronger and learn more about Him and don't necessarily get over our weaknesses but we develop tools to make coping with it better like charity, love, faith, humility, knowledge, patience, all of those CHRIST LIKE ATTRIBUTES! I was emailing Kyley about this and she put it perfectly by saying 

"Christ had weakness but no sin and how weakness  are given to us by God and sometimes satan will get us confused between what is sin and what is weakness and he will use these divine weaknesses against us to make us feel worthless when in fact God gave us these weakness cuz he loves us and he wants us to have them so we can turn to him and humble ourselves and that's beautiful." - Kyley Lauren Chesley

It's just something we can all do better at remembering I think. 

baby ents

Anyways, as the wise Langston hughes once said "Life is fine, fine as wine, life is fine!"

I've never had wine but I'll take good ole Langston's word for it.

Love you all! Have a beautiful week!

Enjoy the sun the moon and the stars everybodyyyyy

also keep people in Paris and in Europe and around the world in thoughts and prayers. 

Love you all!

love,
