Davs! Big shout out to everyone that still reads this! Hahah! Love y'all!
This week was wild! I feel like I say that every single week now, BUT IT'S TRUE! Things go crazy and our days get busy and I love every second of it! Let's start off the email right and talk about food, hahahah the GOAT! We snagged some sushi this week to celebrate the New Year! We meant to do that literally 2.5 weeks ago, but our schedule has been so crazy since then that we never got around to it. It was FIRE. My chopstick skills are rather rusty, but that's chill. It gave me something to practice. This was the first time I've had sushi since last February, so I was HYPED!
We were on some back-to-back splits with the office elders and Facebook tech elders and we grabbed some kebab. You gotta experience the whole Danish life, right?? That's the big focus for the next 6 months, because that's all I have left..... six months. I can't believe it at all. I am really trying my best to soak in these last months and work myself as hard as I can. That's what's good right now. No time to waste and too many pastries to eat. I've had 4 pastries in the last 7 days hahahah. Such a W. They tasted so nice. I've had 2 of the best pastries I have ever had my whole time here. It is the little things that make life way happy.
We led two zone conferences this week. They went pretty well. We got blindsided and had an extra 10 minutes that we needed to fill both times, so we improvised way hard and it all worked out. It was all about embracing Danish and our mission culture to become happier as a missionary. We really showcased how cool it is and how rare it is for us to be here. I think it went over well! I love my mission and have really embraced everything in this country. It has helped me a lot. I LOVE IT HERE!
We also did some boring AP stuff, but we got a free tour from President Olsen of his new house. That was hype. There is still snow here over everywhere that isn't a big city so it is BEAUTIFUL here right now. We have a little ledge right outside our window that was covered in like 4 inches of snow so we made a little snowman! Check the pics down below!
Some fun facts:
- Danishes don't actually exist. There isn't a pastry called a danish in Denmark. It is called a spandauer here.
- Danes speak Danish, not Dutch. The movie The Best Two Years was not filmed here and is not based off of anything Danish-related.
- Colorful houses are in fact very Danish. They look even better in the snow.
That's about all I can think of right now. Hope everyone has a great week!
Love from København,
Ældste Modersitzki
