First Week in Aalborg

Dear Family,

Thanks to Brent, he set up our Jensen Juice Blog just before jetting to Denmark. Hopefully We will write at least one a week.

Yes, we have now been here 1 week. The mission Pres. was at the airport waiting for us. He wisked us off to the mission home and filled our heads with all kinds of things to remember. Un fortunately our heads were fairly fuzzy at that time. But I do recall him cautioning us to always check our mirror on the right before turning as there are usually bikes cruising by. If there is ever a bike-car accident, the bike is always in the right. Dad has made a silent observation, there are no obese people in Danmark, they all ride bikes.

We have had a fairly busy week, we have eaten with Dansk folk 3 times. We have spent one FHE with the single YA. We visited our first less active person. Dad actually spent time in her parents home close to when she was baptized as a child of 8. We were asked to bear our testimonies in Danish on Sunday. Dad was awesome, I did my basic 3 year old testimony. We met with our district today, I made Choc. Chip Cookies in an attempt to win their hearts. They are wonderful Elders, all 8 of them.

The rest of the time we have been trying to figure out how to operate the dish washer, washing machine etc. We unpacked our stuff and fit very comfortably in our little apt. Our mission Pres. gave us some dune comforters to snuggle into for the winter. We did not have to spend much to set up our apt, but we have managed to spend more than we should have on yogurt, real cheese, and amazing breads. The mission expects us to pay for the car, gas, and our food supplies but they pay for a good portion of the rent for the missionary couples. We are loving it here, especially your Dad. I have yet to know what people are saying most of the time. I am working on the language but slowly. These Dansk Women are blond, striking, and fashionable Women.

We hope you are all well and happy. We pray for your success and happiness. You can call at anytime you would like just remember DC is 6 hours, Highland is 8 hours, and DC 9 hours time difference. Dad was so happy he removed the sim card from the mission phone which is an antique and put it in his Blackberry. It worked hurray!!!! My iron needed an adapter but it still needed too much power and would not heat up. Dang...

Jill wrote us and we are hopeful the rest of you will post your blog, call us, snail mail, and email. We love you so much and miss you. Love, Mom
