Editor Note:  Oops! Bad mom award.  I got a little behind in my posting duties but now we are all caught up! I I can't believe it's already been another week!! Times are flying and stuff is happening!! One of our investigators and her daughters and really really progressing.  Sheis a FOR SURE baptism, just needs to pick out a date.  One of her daughters stayed with her instead of heading up to her dad's place for one week longer because she likes church and the missionaries so much!! Isn't that so great??? We play fodbold every  saturday  and we invited them to come play and it was SO.  FUN.  I could tell that the quiet, 15 yr old girl was having a blast and her mom was so so so happy.  And they both came to church  on sunday !! Hahaha this week's meeting was extra extra hard to understand because the Copenhagen Temple President and his wife came to speak with us, but they're from Sweden so the entire sacrament meeting was in ...

Goodness gracious a TON has happened! I'M IN DENMARK!! And it is absolutely breathtaking here.  I highly encouraging looking up pictures on Denmark on the web.  If you haven't already.  10 out of 10. So, like I said, my life has been a pile of crazy the past week.  I was able to sleep a tiny weeny on the plane so when we landed in København I was awake and ready to work! We met the Mission Presidents who are literal DREAMS and headed to the mission office where we took care of some tedious but necessary items like interviews, passport paperwork, the whole shebang.  After that I was in heaven, because Sister O'Bryant made the most delicious Danish food I have ever had - not that I've had a lot of Danish food, but it honestly was so good.  And one dish that was surprisingly good is called RødKåd - red cabbage.  I'm pretty sure the Danes soak that in cane sugar, but nevertheless it was fantastic to say the least.  We played some ping pong ...

Many many many things came to pass this week.  On Saturday we had a FABULOUS branch devotional on religions freedom and how we should uphold and respect the rights of people from EVERY denomination.  We had some touching musical numbers that really sparked motivation and determination in all of us.  Afterward, they let us watch most of the fireworks from inside the new buildings which was *almost* like being there.  Sort of.  But they were still so beautiful!   Yesterday was really the highlight of my week.  In the morning we participated in Skype TRC's with a lady living in Denmark with her husband.  She was a missionary there and grew up in Provo as a thunderbird so that was super fun.  Also her name in Vashti which is a name already on my potential baby names list so that gives me reassurance that I can definitely use it and it won't be that weird.  ANYWAY THAT WASN'T EVEN THE BEST PART OF THE DAY.  My district *FINALLY* got...
