30 days in Denmark for Søster Millika E. Holbrook

Wow... it is hard to believe that Søster Millika E. Holbrook has already  been in Denmark for 30 days now.  Time has gone by fast and I am so grateful for what she is learning and how she is growing. She has a chance to do many things this week like teach lessons, go to the mission home for a 3 day training and go to the temple.

A great session at the Copenhagen Temple. Søster Millika E. Holbrook LOVED it and she thinks it might be her favorite temple now :o).

Here is our email of the week from Søster Millika E. Holbrook:

This week as been great! All the new missionaries that have been in Denmark for 30 days got to go to President's house for a "30 day in field training" which was incredible. In the MTC, Elder Cook said that a lot of missionaries get called to specific missions because they need the guidance that that specific mission president and wife can give them, and he says it happens often enough that we should all pay special attention to the lessons we can learn from them. Well, I know that to be true for sure! President is a businessman so they way he teaches is something I am so familiar with that it really all just connects with me! One thing that he taught us this last week is to find joy IN the work, and not just FROM the work.

We had the opportunity to go to the temple this week too which was awesome. It was just what I needed! Also I might have to say that I may have found my new favorite temple. But I actually can't remember the inside of the bountiful temple anymore (which is/was my favorite temple) so I don't actually know if this one wins. Anyway, there is just a special peace that comes from the temple and being there just makes me so happy. :)

We found TWO new progressing investigators this week! They actually a family of 6, but we've only talked to the two parents. They are really very Christian but they are so open to learning.  We don't want to just throw scriptures at each other , but instead we want to learn in an environment where the Spirit can be present. We also found three new really good potentials this week in one of our bank på (knocking) sessions. The Lord really has prepared specific people for us.

Thanks for the support!
