"I see friends shaking hands saying, how do you do, they`re really saying I love you,"
Where to begin
So we start with the highlight: All mission Christmas conference in Fredericia. We played games, ate delicious food, and literally had the most fun nogensinde. And if that wasn't enough, we got to watch the new Lion King! And, as if THAT wasn't enough, president Olsen decided to drop a bomb on us. (Classic president Olsen). That is that he will be making sure that from next transfer on there will be a set of sisters in Iceland. !!!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah I know I died. The plans are that they will send two sisters up (called to Denmark to speak Danish) and there they will work in English and Danish (not in Icelandic hehe we are lucky potatoes)(that language is whack) and he will switch them out every transfer. He told us that many of us will get the chance to go see the beautiful country. Now of course, I would love to spend a transfer or two on Iceland. What a scheme. But there's a good chance I'll spend the remainder of my mission on good old Denmark, and if that's what the Lord wants, I'm happy with it. #sayituntilitbecomestrue.
So yeah. That was lit.

We came home and continued on with some good, old fashioned, back-bone givin', elbow greasin', missionary work. Gotta love it. Now that I'm training, I've been doing a lot of the speaking. And my throat has been KILLING ME. Like c'mon I can only hold this potato in my throat for so long. Occasionally I get tired, and I want to take the potato out, but unfortunately I cannot do that. Speaking Danish without the potato is just Swedish. And we are not here for the Swedes. Unless they have Swedish fish.
Sorry, off topic.
With it being Christmas time sister Paras and I have tried our luck in giving out wrapped copies of the Book of Mormon and Caroling. We gave out ten in the past couple of days !!! I love how open and kind people have been with it being Christmas time. I'm scared for January lol.
We forgot to take pictures but theres this little room in our apartment that we dont use for much,,, so we have decked it out as our cozy hygge room. And now, its our cozy CHRISTMAS hygge room. We love curling up by the heater with blankets and a danish treat and the Book of Mormon videos. Søster Parass mom sent us the 12 days of Christmas so we also open a gift together every night! Love our squishy mother daughter bonding time
Dont forget to think about Jesus this Christmas. To be honest, being out here is really really hard. It is cold and wet and dark. I am really tired. People arent very nice. Danish is kind of difficult. But because of Jesus Christ, I am not only able to survive it, but I can by happy as I am surviving it. Any strengths or successes I have can all be credited to him. I cant tell you how many "I dont know if I can do this anymore" prayers I have said, but I can tell you that with each Amen, I was filled with a peace and a strength to keep going that I know could only come from my Savior. He is the greatest gift. The gift that was, is, and ever will be the most priceless-and yet free to all. He is my best friend.
Merry Christmas! Glædelig jul!
Med Kærlige Hilsen,
