Departure Dinners for Elder Birch and President and Sister O'Bryant June 29, 2018
Departure dinner for Elder Birch. He has been a dedicated Elder and has worked hard each day of his mission. He has been one of our assistants and we have depended on him much.
A few days later:

Sjaelland Zone Conference-June 2018
In Sjaelland, The missionaries arrive early and help decorate for Zone Conference. It's a fun way to meet and greet and I love their creativity. We look forward to reuniting every six weeks. President and I see and train missionaries more often but it's always wonderful to be together. Zone Conference was on the Four Cornerstones for progressing investigators, Final hopes for our missionaries, and the Atonement-Mercy vs. Justice.
This was probably my favorite training by President...finding balance in the atonement by accepting the law of Justice but developing equal faith in the Lord's Grace and Mercy. It's a beautiful message<3
We have loved out time in Denmark with the beautiful green land and blue skies. The members are faithful, kind and helpful in every way. However our greatest joy has been to serve the Lord along-side these wonderful missionaries. They arrive with enthusiasm and ready to change. They have become master teachers, expert listeners, and strive each day to follow the Lord's example. They are bold, but not overbearing, and bring the message of the Plan of Salvation to those who will listen. Their efforts bring many into the waters of baptism. They are truly instruments in the hands of the Lord. The Lord is leading His work in Denmark. We will be forever grateful for this life-changing opportunity. We love the Denmark Copenhagen Mission.
