There is a church in Roskilde where all the Kings and Queens of Denmark are buried. This was Margaret I, a beloved Queen of Denmark. I couldn't help think of Lord of the Rings when I saw this casket. Our Summer proved to be very busy with joys, sorrows, laughs and tears. We are preparing for a transfer to Greenland in Sept. Our next post will certainly have a whole new look.
Peter Beir Chocolate, some of the best chocolate in Denmark...
On my Birthday we travel by car and boat to Aero Nu Kobing. It is a city that sits very south of Denmark and is very old. It was first inhabited probably 900 years ago.
A Danish Farm house, complete with thatched roof.
Four hours after we left Utah from my Fathers funeral, little Ruby Lynne Jensen was born. Life and Death all within a few days...
Part of the summer included a Couples Conference. We toured northern Denmark with the other 5 couples in our mission. This was a Danish church which was literally be swallowed up by the sand. Remember the primary song, the wise man built his house upon the rock and the foolish man built his house upon the sand....
We had another YSA gathering, this time for our 40 kids at the Center. We had a retreat in a rural part of Copenhagen. We stayed in a cabin for 3 days. We enjoyed classes, firesides, games and a service project. It was so fun. Somehow I thought my camping days were over....
In the mist of a very busy Summer, My Father, Bliss Fullmer passed away (July 30, 2011) after long years of declining health. Our Mission Pres. gave us a week to go home for the funeral. It was a beautiful spiritual experience for me and our whole family. We then returned to DK.
In July we traveled by bus to Sweden just south of Stockholm for a giant youth gathering in Scandinavia. It is called Festinorde. We spent 5 days working like crazy with cooking, dances, and sports. This is a pic of the Danish Soccer Team. They played for the championship only to be beat by the International Team.
We were robbed, as were our neighboring missionary couple, and a mission car came up missing. In Norway the robber was caught at the border. We drove to Norway to recover the car and a few belongings. The robbery was difficult yet we managed to have a nice trip to Norway, all expenses paid, well if you consider that my gold ring and Elder Jensen's Mac probably financed the gas to Norway. This is a Fort overlooking the Fjord and the small community of Halen.
Our newest Grandson Calvin came to visit us with his parents Brent and Kirsten. We loved to spend a fun filled week with them. Those little fat baby cheeks got plenty of kisses.
During June we had a culture and history class for two weeks. With about 12 other people we studied Danish History and visited many castles and museums. It was fabulously interesting and a great contacting opportunity. We gave out pass along cards, answered questions and even placed a Book of Mormon. This is the current Throne of Denmark. The monarchy is the oldest existing monarchy in the world (950 years old) The Queen doesn't usually sit here except for special occasions, and if she feels like it.
