First Snow, Lunch date with Mormor and Morfar and of course ICE-CREAM :)

Søster Millika E. Holbrook enjoyed the first snow this week in Denmark. You need to understand it does not snow very often in Denmark. It is cold but not much of the white stuff and it for sure do not stay or stick long.

 

Email from Millika E. Holbrook this week:

 Hey everyone!

I am doing really well. I love Sister Ludlow. I love Amager. I love being a missionary. What more can I say?

Is it possible that missionary work can be hastening but going slower than ever? We have found some good potentials the past couple of weeks, and some of those have already become solid investigators! We have also handed out more Book of Mormons than ever!!! But the last two weeks have been tough for setting appointments with our current investigators because many were/are out of town, sick, or didn't respond. Sister Ludlow and I have a lot of things in the works, but it's just going very slow on an individual level. Luckily this is the start of a new week! So yeah. The work is hastening, but it doesn't always feel that way.

Recently I have been pondering how having the influence of the Savior in my life has changed who I am. Honestly, it scares me to think of who I would be if I didn't know about our Savior on a personal level. YIKES!! Luckily I'm super blessed to have had the opportunity to grow up in a home where cultivating that relationship was important. The Savior's influence has made me the happy and (hopefully) good person that I am! I was reading in 3 Nephi 12:13 (Matthew 5:13, D&C 101:39-40, 103:9-10) and came across a scripture that really explained my heart's ponderings. I had a seminary teacher tell us once that "You lose your Savor, when you lose the Savior". In my case, when I don't focus on strengthening my relationship with the Savior, I begin to lose the good things about myself. I  lose my flavor. Anyway I hope those ramblings made sense.

Thanks for the support!

 Two SWEET Sister missionaries.

Sweet Millika E. Holbrook. How we LOVE her.... She is a gem!

 Hard to see but they are standing with a classic in their hands-- ABBA is just that a classic.

AND of course there is ice-cream this week too.... It is so good in Denmark.. RICH and CREAMY!

 Lunch date with Mormor and Morfar is ALWAYS fun and the food is pretty dang good too.

Søster Ludlow and Søster Holbrook so cute together.

So another wonderful week in Denmark for Søster Holbrook and she is growing and learning so much. As she said in her email sometimes the progress does not go as fast as you like but it is hard to really explain how much joy the Savior can bring in your life if you first have to get to know Him. He is REAL and He is true ;o)
