Well hello there everybody! Let me tell you, it was so
great to Skype with [the family] all this past week. You are all so wonderful!
Ha, unfortunately, not a lot has happened since I last skyped with you all, so
I'll just mention the few things that did happen as well as a little about
Christmas.
So we spent a ton of this week with members. We ate
sssssssoooooooooo much food! We also got to dance around the Christmas tree
which is a tradition here in Denmark. We all held hands and sang songs together
as we circled around the Christmas Tree. We also ate a ton of Risalamande which
is a Danish Rice Pudding. At Christmas time they have a game with this pudding
where they chop up a bunch of almonds and put them in the putting, but they
leave one unchopped almond in as well. Whoever finds it is supposed to hide it
in their cheek while the others search for it. Whoever finds it gets a present.
Unfortunately, I never won, but my companion one every single time!!
The best part of the Christmas season was our opportunity
to serve. On Christmas Eve we baked a bunch of cookies, printed off the First
Presidency Christmas Message with a link to the Nativity Bible Video, and
delivered them to some of our investigators and less actives. They were so
grateful for our visit and even though we couldn't stay and talk because they
were all busy, we could see they really appreciated that we thought about them.

We also had the opportunity to help the Frikirke move
their church. They moved to a new Building and all of them were so surprised to
see the Mormon Missionaries come to help move them during the Holidays. They
asked why, and we said because we love to help. They were so grateful and we
heard them talking to each other about how great those Mormon/American boys
were. It was a great opportunity to share the Christmas Spirit.
This week marks the beginning of the new year. I'm so
excited to see the fireworks here in Denmark, apparently it's amazing. I'm
especially excited though to begin my one and only full year spent doing the
Work of the Lord! It's weird to think that 2014 is going to be spent completely
on my mission. It's an exciting thought though.
Well, that's most of what's happened to me this week!
Thank you for your love and support! I don't have Pictures right now, but I actually
have videos. I uploaded them up on my Google +. You can see them from all of
your Google + accounts and see them. It's an awesome setup and I think from now
on I'm going to use Google+ to add Pictures/videos because they're instantly
available to anyone who wants to see them and can be downloaded as well.
Can't wait to tell you about New Year’s Eve and my trip
to København! Love you all!
