Denmark

On Sunday we had the blessing of attending church in Denmark. What a moving and wonderful experience it was to attend church in one of the countries of our ancestors. We arrived in Denmark (Danmark here) early in the morning , and found our way –with the help of a taxi driver—to church.

We enjoyed the sacrament service there and meeting some of the members and missionaries. There are three chapels in Copenhagen and when deciding which to attend, Wes chose the easiest to get to. What we didn’t know at the time was that the Danish temple was not more than 100 feet away! What fun to be able to see that as well!

Following church we took a very long walking tour through the city (the walk was made longer by the fact that I did not have good walking shoes on!) and then a boat tour over to see the Little Mermaid Statue.
One interesting thing we learned about Copenhagen is a lot of people ride bikes here. But even more interesting is there doesn’t seem to be any fear of having a bike stolen. Everywhere we went bikes were lined against houses and propped against buildings.

We decided crime must be low and the people must be very trusting. What totally shocked us though was when we went to church and outside the church building during the meetings a sleeping baby in a stroller—all alone. But it was a fun and rewarding day.
