At the most northern point of DK two sea met. I am pointing to the North Sea and Jerry is pointing to the Baltic Sea. It was cold today...
Land of Jerry's and Jordan's forefathers. It is situated in the most northern parts of DK.
We spent Christmas Eve with Bishop Mattisen's Family. We ate traditional food, sang and danced, and left a message. Elder Lee accompanied us with his guitar as we caroled to about 20 homes delivering cards and candy through Aalborg. We had 4 dinner apt. for the 4 days of Christmas. I believe we all gained weight.
Okay, we had a romantic moment... This is Fredrickborgs Castle with Jerry and I dancing in the grand ballroom.
We loved having Jordan with us for 8 short days. We saw a couple of castles, the Kristus, Skagen (northern most point of DK), Shopping streets, and best of all we ate dinner with four different families. We ate traditional food, danced around the Christmas tree and sang. It was so fun.
On the bow of every ship a wooden carving distinguished each ship. This is one tough looking Viking Woman.
A door at Hamlets Castle. I have been accused of taking pictures of far too many doors. I find them so interesting. While Jordan was here visiting we explored the expansive rooms of Hamlets Castle. It is thought Shakespere took his inspiration for Hamlet from this Castle. Every Summer the play is performed here.
While in Copenhagen, we spent some very inspiring time at the Vor Fru Kirke, this is the original Kristus. In additon, there are 12 statues of the Apostels leading up to the Kristus. They are all probably twice the size of a normal man.
Jordan joined us for 8 wonderful days in DK. Here he is pictured with a Giant Lego Man. Lego was born in DK and still popular the world over.
Robert Bordinggaard, the Clox Maker. We found this cobbler and felt lucky to have done so. He lived about a 2 hour drive south of Aalborg. He made a pair of these clox for each of our 5 families. It has been our tradition from the beginning days of our family to set out the clox for Santa to fill on Christmas Eve.
Sidney attended church today and came to our apt for lunch. He told us of customs and culture of his native country of Nigeria. Unfortunately he is living in a refugee camp awaiting a job and learning Danish. He has been a member for one year. He is excited about the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He was pretty darn amazed to see the Nigerian Temple online.

Wow! Cool places. Glad you guys have a blog. Love the wood clogs. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteKristine, Thanks for sharing your mission through this blog - I love checking it. It looks like a grand time - especially dancing in the grand ballroom! That would never work for us - we don't dance! (One foot difference in height complicates things!) We miss you but we're so happy for you!
