Dazzling Days in Denmark

                          
 We had a wonderful week at Festinord.  There were over 600 young adults from 26 countries.


Taken from the freeway in Skåne, Sweden.

The courtyard of the Marie Kruse School where the conference was held.

A Danish sunset

Some of the Carl Bloch paintings we saw at BYU,  we saw in their home in Fredericksborg Castle.

Fredericksborg Castle

At Our Lady's Church in Copenhagen.  The 12 apostles line the sides of the church.  This is Peter holding "the keys".

In the front of the church is the original Christus statue.
Festinord Choir is singing "I am a Child of God". The video clip at the end of the blog is of them singing "This is the Christ".

Our Bed and Breakfast.  Our room is the second story circular window hidden behind tree on left.

At the Copenhagen Temple

The Nørrungs and their family.  They replaced us in Volgograd when we came home from our mission to Russia and we served together for 6 weeks.  She is 3rd from left and he is 4th from right, in the back.

We had 30 young adults from our Center attend Festinord.  Here are a few.

Each of these couples serve a Center for Young Adults in Denmark, Sweden, Norway or Finland.

Looks like it was really wonderful. I enjoyed your email descriptions, too. You know, my other grandfather was born in Denmark. I particularly enjoy the pictures of the countries.


Glad you are having such a wonderful time and making such a big impact on the lives of these young people.


Love you!
