January 16, 2017 We went to Copenhagen again!

Kære Familie,

I sure hope Ike is feeling better! That doesn't look fun at all. Someday mom I'm actually going to see this barn place where you work that I've heard so much about.

This week was great! On Tuesday I was on splits with Elder Gardner in Fredericia. It was just like old times. Everything swings our way when we are together. Also this week I ended up eating kebab three days in a row from the same place. Kebab is pretty good but I'm not sure about 3 days in a row good. 

On Wednesday we traveled to Copenhagen for a special meeting the next day with President and Sister O'Bryant. It was the My Plan Meeting. It is where the missionaries departing the next transfer sit and talk with the mission President and his wife and talk about lots of things: Changes you've seen on your mission, the importance of finishing strong in the last tranfer, how to adjust back to home life without resetting to pre-mission life, how to keep growing spiritually, etc. Other topics included dating and marriage advice as well as career advice. President O'Bryant gave us a lot of tips on what characteristics to look for in a wife and how to use skills we've developed on our missions to provide for our future families. So we covered a lot and then were invited to without becoming trunky or making those around us trunky to really start thinking and planning for our futures. After that unique meeting we ate pizza and then crossed the street to the temple. The temple has to be the best place in the whole world just to sit and gather your thoughts. 

Ironically I've had way to much time to think about all of that because Elder Howes has been sick the past couple days and we've been stuck inside. Thats right I missed church for the first time since I became a missionary I think. It has been really boring being stuck inside but at least I'm not sick like Elder Howes, poor guy. I haven't started feeling gross or anything so I'm pretty sure I didn't get infected. I have however run out of things to do in the apartment. It has been tough to keep myself entertained but I'm doing my best. 

Well I love you guys. Transfers are next week and President has dropped a lot of hints that I'm on my way to my last area. Area 7 Comp 13! I'll let you know what happens :)

Med Kærlig Hilsen 
Ældste McBride
