Sjaelland Christmas Zone Conference 2017

Christmas Zone Conference in Sjaelland was an all-day experience.  We began with training from President, the assistants, Elder Smith and Sister O'Bryant.  Trainings were on 1) church tours, 2) preparing for the "Book of Mormon Musical", 3) spiritual and emotional peace and 4) the Christmas Story.  The Christmas Story was intermingled with traditional Christmas hymns performed by the missionaries.  It was a wonderful day.  The room was set up and decorated by our talented missionaries...as well as Sister O'Bryant:)  Lunch was provided by Erling Knudsen, who enjoys cooking each Christmas for the missionaries.  Thank you!  The senior Sisters also brought traditional  rolls, desserts, etc.  We celebrated the danish way by singing around the Christmas tree.  Everyone joined in (see Sister O'Bryant's facebook page for a video).  We had a visit from Santa...with presents for all, a video of missionary Christmas memories was enjoyed (thank you to Elder and Sister Shurtliff), and the evening ended with "Moana", popcorn, fruit and more homemade treats:)  These mission Christmases have become some of our favorite memories.  We missionaries have grown through our trials and challenges.  We have learned to submit and depend on the Lord.  He is truly leading this mission.  We have worked hard on our goal of bringing 60 souls to Christ this year.  This week, we will surpass the goal.  We feel blessed beyond measure.  We cannot adequately express our love for these great missionaries.  They deserve more than we can give them and we do not want to interfere with their personal growth.  They become so much closer to the Christ and strive to become more like Him.  Thank you to the families who have sent their sons and daughters to serve.  We love Denmark and the missionaries<3<3<3

Luckily for me I heard a colleague of mine talking about this company, I got interested although i was scared of being scammed, I was compelled by my situation and had no choice than to seek advise from my friend regarding this very company and was given their contact number, getting intouch with them really made me skeptical due to my past experience with online lenders, little did i know this very Company "PROGRESSIVE LOAN INC. was a godsent to me and my family and the entire Internet World, this company has been of great help to me and some of my colleague and today am a proud owner of well organized business and responsibilities are well handled all thanks to Josef Lewis of (progresiveloan@yahoo.com)..

  3. NOW LIFE IS WORTH LIVING WITH THE HELP OF EDWARD JONES FINANCE

    Hello Every One, My Name is Trevor Cohen live in Texas and life is worth living comfortably for me and my family now. I really have never seen goodness shown to me this much in my life as i am a struggling Dad with three kids and i have been going through a serious problem as my son encountered a terrible accident last week, and the doctors states that he needs to undergo a delicate surgery for him to be able to walk again, and i could not afford the bill for his surgery then i went to the bank for a loan and they turn me down stating that credit score was bad, from there i run to my father and some of my friends but they could not help, then when i was surfing through the net i came across a loan lender EDWARD JONES who provides loans at an affordable interest rate of 2% and i have been hearing about so many scams on the internet but at this time, in my desperate situation i had no choice than to give it a try and surprisingly it was all like a dream, i received a loan of $85,000.00 and i payed for my son surgery and thank GOD today he is okay and can walk. I could in turn start something profitable with the remaining amount and i said to my self that i will shout loud to the world of the wonders of GOD to me through this GOD fearing lender EDWARD JONES and i will advise anyone in genuine and serious need of loan to contact this GOD fearing Company via: Jonesloanfinance@yahoo.com
