gå gade & geder (walking street & goats)

So this week has been pretty dull up until the weekend.

On Saturday morning, the Elders and us took a big sign to the gå gade (walking street) with a big picture of Christ that said "Vi har et svar..." and we just tried to contact everyone we could. Søster Ripplinger and I finally found out that we could sing with our guitar and not get arrested so we brought the guitar and sung a bit while the Elders talked to people and it was neat too because every time we started singing, the Edlers were able to give out a copy of the Book of Mormon. Apparently our magical singing did the trick. Nah, but we did have some success with people stopping and listening and talking afterwards...No return appointments so no new investigators. next time.

Then Sunday (yesterday), Søster Ripplinger and I took the bus to this little town called Vissensbjerg to try to contact a media referral. We were way excited too because the referral was from about 6 days ago (normally they are from 6 years ago). Well anyways, the bus takes out to the country. Way in the country. We ended up stopping in this goat field. that was cool. Except I got stung by stinging nettle. Sister Ripplinger threw a plum to feed the goats and accidently hit the biggest one right in the middle of the forheard.

Then things got weird. We laughed about the goat incident but we actually think that the goat may have turned our world into this little fairytale land because Vissensbjerg was not like anywhere we've been before. People were super nice and friendly and open. Our referral wasn't home but we met lots of good people and potential investigators.

And everything, the landscape was GORGEOUS. We ate wild strawberries (this super nice Danish lady invited us to pick some in her yard) and then this lady had the most amazing garden I have ever been in. she lives at the bottom of  this hill that goes up into a forest and she has created all these little paths leading everywhere, with plants just all in our path. We felt like we were in a jungle. She also had 2 little glass houses with comfy chairs and then a little log house full of books. then after she let us wander around her yard, she invited us in and gave us a tour of her house. it was awesome. She lives in this hobbit-like world, with cool homemade artwork and wood carvings. She was way sweet too. We are going to go back and teach her the gospel and hopefully help her in her yard.

Well, I realize now that my adventures may have sounded boring but to me they were the highlight of my week.

I love you all!

Love, Søster Briscoe

P.S. in Vissensbjerg i got to feed a wild bunny too!
