''My eyebrows look huge!''

  Well Right after P-day last monday, something hiliarious happened, it's called Elder Lester accidentally shaved his head. life is so good.

He apparently forgot to put the guard on, and because of said guard, he shaved from the bottom of his sideburn to the top of his temple on his forehead. Life became so good, cause like, we were on the phone with him and Elder Hawkes when this happened, and screamed we were laughing so hard. We could even hear the razor as it destroyed his life.

Then he asked elder bradshaw on advice, who of course just said there's no way to save it, just shave it! Elder Hawkes tried to redirect such thoughts which he had, however Elder Lester decided there was no other way, and just went for it. Let me explain missionaries are not allowed to have bald heads, BUT! He had no other option. It's ok, he's just gotta avoid important peeps for a few weeks as we all know it takes about 2 weeks to fix a bad hair cut ;D (that's how long it takes to grow itself back enough to save his sorry butt)

  Man that was good, just had to share it.

  This week we have hit the end of another transfer. As I and Sister Ferguson have had 2 glorious ones together, we figured I would be movin on down the road, and I was sure hopin for Jylland, cause let's be honest, #Team Jylland for evigt, that place is the bomb diggity.

   We knew the calls would be coming sometimes this week, we later found out that sometime meant thursday. I will get to that shortly.I start earlier this week for this which happened. Here we goeth.

  

  So this week has been extremely busy, what with me knowing I'm leaving, but not knowing where, and then we knew Elder Hawkes was dying, so we had to say goodbye to a lot of people. However, we also wanted to up our numbers, and really push ourselves. This week Søster Ferguson and I found 7 new investigaters, finding almost half of the investigaters this week in the zone! WOOP! DREAM COMP!!!! It was the best, we just work amazing together, and I'll be friends with that homie for evigt. I miss her already. I bet you're wondering at this point where I'm at right now. 

Well, I'll give you a hint.

It's in Denmark.

   Anyways! Moving on we're going to wednesday at this point, where we meet with 2 of our new investigaters that we found last week. Great peeps, one believes in the Nordic Gods, for realz, and is very respectful of christianity. He even does burnt offrings in the woods. Crazy. Mrs. Buscher I  know you would think that is very interesting! (shout out to Mrs. Buscher, who made mythology the best class nogensinde. Mom post this on facebook, and then she can read it!)

  So the next day we have dinner with anny and Leo, which was just amazing. We love them so much. Anny was one of two people that made me sob when I said goodbye to everyone yesterday. She's been so amazingly kind to me, and her and leo feed us every thursday. Man, we really are tearin that little town of Sørbymagle (sir-boo-mow-luh) apart! We've gotten 4 new investigaters out there just this week! And there's LOADS of members, making the work just that much easier, especially when they give us referrals. I love me a good referral. Mmm! We've been working so hard at setting great goals in specific areas, really making it easier to find, not because the place is any different, but we're utilizing the power of Faith, which can accomplish miracles!

We also had distrikt meeting, which was a blast, and because of our lovely Tina Di Bella, we ate out at Ferdinand's steak house. Man that place is good. 

  Fredag, that was great, went out to some places did some things.....oh and on thursday we found out about transfers and where we were going. It was great! Loved talking with the assistants!

On to saturday, (I know the suspense is just gonna kill ya here) we got caught in a freakin rain storm!!!!!!!

Like,this rain rivalled even that of Arcata rain when it gets goin. We. Got. Drenched. We got stuck waiting for the elders, and they said apparently to sister ferguson that by the time we walk to the station from where we were, that we would meet them there. Well we got a little miscommunicated. We ended up walking into a thunder storm with pouring rain for 20 minutes whilst waiting for them. When they finally arrived, I asked Elder Hawkes who had that bright idea, and he just said, ''oh, i didn't mean that you had to walk in the rain, i just meant you could meet us at the station. But we could have picked you up wherever!'' I know deep down sister ferguson just wanted to prance in that rain, so i don't hold it against her, except maybe just a little bit cause we took pictures later that night and my face was now naked på grund af rain. Good thing I love her. And miss her already!!!! We then went to Maria's(#teambootyliciousforevigtogså) and she fed us some delicious food, she's just so good at that. And I love her girls. They are so amazing. Two beautiful little african twins that make my world so very happy! They love to put me in jail, by that i mean taking me over to the closet, locking me in, and saying, ''you can't come out!'' AHHHHH I WILL MISS THEM SO MUCH. Good thing they're not that far away.......Oops! I hinted!

  Sunday was hard, cause we were saying goodbye to everyone. I just bawled when Anny hugged me, and with Christa later that night, I love Christa, and then when I hugged Maria goodbye I was just so far gone, having lost it earlier with Anny.

   I even got hugs from Finna Lykkegård, my arch nemesis, hahaha I love that man. We tease each other all the time. He translated for general conference into danish. He's way quick witted, and we just have a blast together.

Then we later said goodbye to bishop and his family, and they are literally like my family. They are amazing! They have 2 kids on missions, and I think that must be why bishop loves me so much, cause his daughter is in need of people taking care of her! Mom! Dad! You're not alone! SO not alone! (bishop also hugged me, what can i say, i'm just so lovable!)

  Today we transfered. Getting to the train was hard, getting on the train was harder, and not at all because i didn't want to leave, but more so because i had so much stuff. 6 months in an area and not starting to pack until 10pm last night was a bad idea. But I just hate packing.

shout out to all the elders and sisters who helped me move all that luggage and other assorted objects. I just have a problem with downsizing. And I got rid of stuff.

  Well now i'm here.

Where's here?

It's the place of all places, Danmark's hovedsted!

I am now living in Copenhagen denmark. Frederiksberg itself!

With 6 months left I'm desirin to own and rip this area apart. With sister williams by my side, it's time to teach one how to dougy, and make our way down town, walkin fast, faces passin we're homebound. 

I'M LIVING IN COPENHAGEN Y'ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AND! I love sister williams! She came to denmark with sister ferguson, they're besties! It's just movin from one great person to the next! LOVE IT.

Our apartment needs work, but it's got the potential you knooooo and I'm stoked to live in the heart of denmark. With an amazing person by my side. AHHHH We are just gonna kill it here på Frederiksberg! I think president must know i'm a trouble maker or something, and he just wants me to be close, cause i will see him often, as this is where the mission office is, i'm also in the same distrikt as the assistants. I know you missed me elder wright. and elder lawless is my distrikt leader. and elder sakurada is here. AHHHHHHHHH LIFE IS JUST SO FREAKING GOOD.

anyways. you all got a long and not very interesting letter, i mean, just nothing happened here. Obviously. 

Happy transfer day, everyone.

<3 Søster Floyd

p.s. the delightful declaration of a danske missionary is now up and running, sister ferguson configured it so that i could send an email and it would just update my blog. I love my life.

I just don't know where to even start with all these pictures.

Also, this one time i wrote in elder lester's journal to say goodbye, and his text he sent later that day was hilarious, ''so... I read your message in my book. I want to tell you thank you. It pricked my heart strings and hearly caused evaporation from my eyeholes. I can't decide if your words were that touching or if I was extra receptive due to the fact that I have no hair to block you feminine touchy feely microwaved. I have now been inspired to write something good in your book. ''

Best text ever goes to elder lisper. ''he'th a cripple you know!''
  #JIMMY#annoying music device#giraffe and her midget

Distrikt picture! The elders were pinching each other's butt's. This was genuine laughter.

  ''pretty girls have cars'' cause then they aren't soaking wet.

 Marylicious I love you woman.

Last picture with my comp. I love you Sister Ferguson.

6 Months to Babe-ness

Happy birthday to my babe sister thompson! She's all grow'd up and hitting the 20's. That's muh gurl.

Well we're off to a great start, everybody, as my sister  Lauren has sent me morning workouts. Let's just say it's been a while, me and sister ferguson were sore for 3 days after. Not to mention the Mother sent me some work our gear that is so tight I talk like a chipmunk. SO! Things are going super!

I can already see progress, it's in the difficulty of getting out of bed and pain as I go up trapperne.

It's all good though, cause I will not be bringing the 15 pounds home with me, and so working out is a must. I've also started cooking again, as I can make a lot healthier food than we can buy. SÅ! We're definitely on  the road again!

This week was a week of miracles. We had 23 lessons, 9 of them were member presents. We found 5 new investigaters, and had 3 less actives in church. Can you say MIRACLES????

We've been working SO hard, and praying and planning and praying some more. Always trying to better ourselves, and just work harder.

We met with the mission prez this week, which was the bomb diggity. Him and Sister O'Byant are driving around all of Denmark visiting....everyone. In their apartments. We were there last ones on thursday that they visited, and they were just SO TIRED, having seen 20 missionaries already. They were running 1 1/2 hours late, and they had skipped dinner. Of course as soon as they mentioned that to us(before hand) I hopped in the kitchen and made them some healthy....stirfry with zuccini!! It was like zuccini, potato, chicken, peppers, green onions, and then some sweet and sour sauce kinda shtuff. They were SO happy. They came in, told os our apartment looked like the celestial kingdom, and took a seat on our dusted furniture, with the flag of danmark behind it.

When we did our interviews, it was really great, because even though we don't know the mish prez too well, Sister Ferguson and I can both say that he's perfect for here and now. Really. I feel like I've progressed so much since he's come. He's putting a lot of emphasis on the Christ-like attributes, and how we can become better so we can do better, instead of the other way around. It's amazing.

In fact, these last 2 weeks I've been working on the Christ-like attribute of Charity,and it's changed me whoooole life. I'll send in another email a talk a gave on sunday(which went swimmingly, thank you very much, in Danish) about Charity. How it's all linked with doing the will of the Father. 

Why is that? because Charity is the Pure love of Christ, and that entails that we love as Christ loves. And Christ came to Earth to do the will of the Father, meaning that if we have Charity, we give our whole heart to God, all our hopes, dreams, reservations, fears, EVERYTHING.

That has changed me so much.

Also this week we had zone training, where Sis, Fergie and I basically shared our converstion story of the last 2 weeks, and we have one let me tell ya!

Well not actually tell ya, cause otherwise I won't have a homecoming talk in about...AHHHHHH 6 MONTHS. Well that escalated quickly. We'll see how this goes.

All I know is that I'm gonna work as hard as I can so i don't have any regrets on my mission. That starts with my heart. In D&C 4:2, it says to serve God with all our heart, might, mind, and strength. Often times we give our ''all'' meaning our might and strength. That happens a lot as a missionary. We give Him us for a year and a half, two years, and promise to do everything He askes. But often times we are truly converted, and that is a consequence of withholding our heart and mind. God has given us everything. He is almighty, powerful, and can do ANYTHING! We give Him a small bit of what He offers us, and He STILL blesses us. Quite literally everything that we have is a gift from Him, and they only thing He doesn't already have? What is that? 

Our Heart and our mind.

WE need to give those to Him.

WE need to be charitable in the biggest sense of the word, and in return He promises us everything.

EVERYTHING!

I love my Heavenly Father. This plan is truly in our favor. Everything points in our favor! But if we don't give Him it all, He can't shape us into what we could become. Only He knows our true potential, and so in turn only He can help us reach it.

We're like a small child wanting to eat candy every night for dinner, but the parent knows very well that eating that sugar won't help us grow to be big and strong(well maybe big) but we'll never make it on that alone! He knows what the plan is, and will lead and guide us as long as we share with Him those things.

I love me some Charity.

I bid you all to read Moroni 7:43-48

It's what it's all about 

ALSO! Pull out that PMG (Preach My Gospel, if you don't know what that is, ask a missionary near you ;D), and read chapter 6, pick a Christ-like attribute to work on, and see how it goes this week! Set goals to strive after it, and I know you'll see progress! 

Yesterday when I went out with Sister Ferguson we taught that chapter to EVERYONE we met with, and have them now all working on an attribute. No one's perfect, but through Him we sure can come a lot closer, He's got this homies ;D

I love you allll!!!!

I wish I had remembered my journal, cause I got a great story in it to share from this week with ya! 

short synopsis:

we were up in this little town, called Dianalund, having just taught a lesson there op.

And ont he way back, I meet this lady who was not really interested in having a conversation. Good thing I was.

SO!

Started talking about the weather, where she's from, she noticed my acccent, and one thing led to another and I told her I'm a missionary from *points to name tag* this church, and from America. She told me she knows a little bit about our church and it's teachings, and so I asked her what she thought, and she very bluntly told me that there's too many rules, and that everyone has their own path in life. I told her that is so true, we all have a different way we need to go, because we're all different. But God is the same yesterday, today, and forever, and that's why we have guidance He gives us. I was able to tell her that we don't have rules! She was flabberghasted to say the least. I told her, we have invitations, ones that lead us to happiness. I usually accept the invitations, because I find I'm happier when I do. And not just that, I'm blessed a hundred fold. 

I've gottenr really good at casually pulling out my scriptures, never thought I'd say that, and grabbed my new Book of Mormon.

I read to her from 2 Nephi 31:21, ''And now, behold, my beloved brethren, this is theway; and there is none other way nor name given under heaven whereby man can be saved in the kingdom of God. And now, behold, this is the doctrine of Christ, and the only and true doctrine of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, which is one God, without end. Amen.''

After I read that she smiled, and told me that she thought that had a really great message, and then we talked for a bit more.

It was really amazing. I had not pushed her once, knowing that she was uncomfortable with it, but had instead invited her, with some ''pure love of Christ'' ;D 

I know that, because as we were pulling into the station, I gave her a card, she looked at it, and told me that she wasn't interested in learning more, but instead that she would watch the video, and just after said the most important thing I could have heard from her, something that made it all worth while. 

Lanette, as she is called, said, ''I had many prejudgements about your religion. I didn't like it. I spent a week studying it a while ago, and just automatically didn't like it or the people. Well, I know I was wrong. And I know that because I met you. A very open, kind, and caring person. I'm very glad to have met you today, you changed me mind.''

I have never had anyone tell me that before.

That made it all worth it.

And one day it will have made all the difference, i know that.

Well, I gots things to do, but I love you all soooooo much, have the best week, work on an attribute! Read Moroni 7!!!!

MKH, Søster Pink Floyd

p.s. sister ferguson and I got our nails done for free today, and they look mega fine.

p.s.s my comp is hilarious

Bon Voyage! One Last Post Guys! (Even though I already said my other one was my last one ahahaha)

Hey! Here's a cool picture that someone sent me! 
So I'm really nervous. And I just wanted to say that I even though I'm silently freaking out, I'm stoked. Stoked like a fire. However, in my nervousness, I wrote to my friend Natalie(Sister Lindstrom) who is currently serving in the El Salvador San Salvador/West Belize Mission, and I made an analogy that I think should be shared. Yep. So here's the letter I sent to her. And pretty much here's an insight to my brain.

"So, In Hot Rod, when he's about to go down that hill and he tells Dave, and Denise and all them that if he ever wants to stop, that the code word is whiskey, so if he says that word, that they are to pull on rope and save his sorry butt. HOWEVER. In the process of implementing that word and therefore making a backup plan for safety, he doesn't quite make it clear when he pronounces the word. See, he says "WHiskey" and emphasizes the H too much. Therefore confusing those poor souls saying it all WHierd. That's where Rod went wrong really. He didn't check his safety net (or the whole procedure really because I mean COME ON.  WAY TO SKATEBOARD TO BASICALLY YOUR DEATH ROD). But if he had had a better and more secure safety plan, he may not have undergone that whole ordeal of flying off a hill when they eventually pulled the rope.  Same thing goes for when he tried to hold his breathe in the pool  for forever and then the rope BROKE when he tried to pull the bell to get to safety. He didn't check his backup plan! NOW. Here's where it gets tricky. NO MATTER how well thought out the procedure or task at hand is, there is always something which can go wrong. ALWAYS. ALWAAAAYS. And I repeat, ALWAYS have a solid safety net in place! 

Now you ask, what does this have to do with anything? Well my dear friend. This has to do with the Savior. The Savior who loves us so much, that his safety net is made with an extended warranty, with indestructible fibers, and so large that as long as we even AIM for that thing, it will always catch us. I was thinking about this all week as I have said goodbye to everyone, as I had my farewell, welcomed home a favorite missionary of mine, as I.....packed. Oh man. PACKED. As I was set apart as a servant of the Lord, and as I realized how very human and unprepared I truly am. But thank GOODNESS for that safety net! Thank heavens for that code word and sturdy bell that at any time of the day I can pull and be brought back to the remembrance that I am loved! And you know what? That is pretty cool beans. So here goes Nat Nat. MTC is on Wednesday, I enter at 12:45 sharp, and will be left on a curb to say goodbye to mia familia. I gonna miss them. Anyways....I love you. You're another one of my safety nets, and I know how much you care about me, because you never stopped showing it! And I AM SO PROUD OF YOU. You picked out your code word a looooong time ago Nat. Cause you're amazing like that. Hope that your introduction to the field is everything that you wanted it to be! I bet they LOVE you! And that your spanish is wonderful already! You're so talented! I know you're doing great things. And btw? you probs know already, but Germany won the world cup."

I just thought that that was worth sharing. Hot Rod is always worth sharing. And make sure to have a safety net people! Love you all! 

-Søster Blaire Floyd

We're Off to See the Wizard

Well, here it goes everyone! On Wednesday, the 16th of this week, I'll be entering the Provo MTC and starting my mission! I can't wait. I have felt so unprepared at times, but now I know that I will do great. Heavenly Father is with me, and I know that he will take care of me! Thank GOODNESS for that!
 "God hears every prayer of our heart. Even those which go unspoken." -Emma Smith
I believe so strongly that this Gospel is true. That we have the ability to choose this route, but that it is the only way to true and eternal happiness. So, I choose this path. And I have been called to serve the people of Denmark.

While I'm gone, my mother will be updating this blog with my emails that I send each week, and also with pictures of any letter which I may send home! If I happen to send you a letter, and you want to share it on my blog also? Just send a picture where you can read it to my mom! She'll add it on here. I love you all SOOO MUCH and I just can't believe that this is happening!!!! Quick to the Bat Mobile!

Express Yo Self.

My Delightful Declarations:

Hello world. Sister Blaire Floyd here (but not for long!). In a two shorts months, (July 16th), I will begin my year and a half long journey of serving the Lord Jesus Christ as one of His sister missionaries. Where will I be serving you ask? Well since you inquired so kindly, I will be serving in the Denmark Copenhagen Mission Area & Region. I will be speaking in the Danish language. It's gonna be fun. And hard. And...and...and... I'm so excited. So, if you don't know me, but like missionary work, this blog is a good one to follow. If you like to laugh, this blog is a good one to follow. If you breathe air, then this blog is a GOOD ONE TO FOLLOW. 

Why I'm Doing It:

When people are happy they do all sorts of things to show their joy. They sing, dance, or in some cases a little bit of both.  Perhaps they’ll smile and enjoy the moment or however long the time period may be.  No matter how they do it, in some way or another it is expressed. And if that person felt the joy strong, true, and without reservation, wouldn’t they want to share it with those they love? That would be the logical thing to do wouldn’t it? A person would want to bring that joy and happiness to those around them.

Well for me, Jesus Christ is my greatest joy and happiness. He is everything. He is what I think about when I wake up in the morning and when I go to sleep. My Savior is the sun and the moon, the stars and the sky. His love is forever, it is infinite, and it is mine. It is everything and I have to share it.

This is why since I was 12 years old I decided that I would serve a mission and share this felicity with others. I decided that I would go and seek out those in need of a father, a brother, and a comforter. Those in need of an eternal plan which would give them the tools necessary to return to a loving God who misses them, cares for them, and wants them to succeed. 

A Little Bit About Myself:

*I’m an avid reader. Give me a book and we are now best friends.

*I love Harry Potter. As my friends know you probably shouldn’t get me started cause I never learned quite where the brakes are on THAT particular speeding train.

*My favorite color is yellow. The color of sunshine!
*Singing is something I cannot live without. Music in specific actually, I love it all. Any genre, all different instruments, and I play piano…. Sort of haha.

*Friends and family mean THE WORLD to me and that’s why the plan of salvation is everything.

*I have 4 older siblings! Youngest of 5 over here, with 3 brothers and 1 sister.

*You probably shouldn’t bring up Nacho Libre around me either. Another speeding train.

*ANNNNNNNND I’d like to apologize ahead of time for all the movie references that are ingrained into my cranium by my loving father. We’re movie people, and I will miss the cinema very much.

*I was born into the church. My mother is a convert, and my dad actually taught her when he was serving a mission in Ft. Lauderdale Florida in 1980(ish? I don’t know! I wasn’t there!)

*The funny thing about that age change is, it didn’t matter to me. I was going no matter what. Nothing was going to stop me. At 21 the plan was to be ready to leave everything behind and serve the Lord. It was all just a matter of keeping focused with my eyes on the prize. To wear the name tag was what I wanted, and a missionary is WHAT I WOULD BECOME. The age change just made that goal a little closer hahaha.

Lastly, I’d just like to say that I have a very strong testimony of the Gospel. I know that my Redeemer lives, and loves me! The Book of Mormon is true, and I have faith in the words written in it. I love this church. I love the people. And I love my Heavenly Father, and I can’t wait to go to the place which He has called me to serve. I can’t wait to begin this Mission Possible!

Also? The answer is yes.  I most definitely will save you a piece of that gospel for later.

 (If you do not know that reference, ask a Nacho Libre fan PLEASE.)
