Time Flies when you have fun!!

Søster Millika E. Holbrook has already been in the mission field for 3 weeks and I must say it has been a lot easier on this Missionary Mommy this time. When McKay was in Denmark on the mission I could not even go into his room for the first year without crying but with Søster Millika E. Holbrook it has not been that way at all. Not that I love McKay more I just KNOW that Søster Millika E. Holbrook is doing great and it is her time to be there now :o)

Here is part of her email to us this week:

After this week I think I can finally say I feel like a full fledged missionary! I have a bike (yes I've already crashed once) , I spoke in sacrament meeting.. IN DANISH, the Lord blesses us way more than we probably deserve, we have an investigator on dåbsdato, aaaaaand almost every appointment fell through this week. Luckily, I have had a lot of help from above with not letting the emotions of the natural man invade my thoughts. After a rough week it is easy to get discouraged or feel like a failure, but I have to keep reminding myself that as long as I keep trying hard, keep improving the person that I am (or becoming), and keep my eye single to the glory of God, all will be well. (thanks Daddy for that reminder last week!) There is no room for fear or self-doubt or feeling like a failure in my heart. That is to look inward and as a disciple of Christ I've committed to always look outward. To keep pressing on. To keep building my faith! And so, God has comforted me all week. That being said, I hope next week is more productive and investigators are more responsive. But if not, you can count on the fact that I will keep on keeping on!

 Look at those ice-creams and wonderful Sisters!!

Søster Millika E. Holbrook did not like that this was put on a shirt but it is a truth so we better enjoy it.

These SWEET members knew McKay while he served in Denmark and they got a chance to say hello to Søster Millika E. Holbrook. What a blessing it is they the BFF's siblings serve in the same mission.

 She has to point this out of course. Pokemon Forever!!

 Denmark is so GREEN!!

Just look at these 2 sisters... It looks like they are having a BLAST together!!

 

So sweet, fun and tender. I am so glad they are together and that they are learning and growing from each other.

The weeks fly by I think and they are so good for Søster Millika E. Holbrook. I know this was a harder week for her but her spirit was high and she is pushing on. Thanks for sharing the greatest gift with the people of Denmark.
