The Truth Comes Out For Melissa and Lia




I love opening the blinds in the morning to give these little guys all the light possible.  These days the sun dawns late, and by 4 we have a semi-twilight.  By 4:30 it is getting dark and by 5 it is dark.



We had another adventure getting to Church today on the bus.  We set out walking to the place where we change buses, because we missed the first bus (I left my bus pass in the apartment - and had to go back for it).  We made a sweeping circle before ending up at the right place, but saw some great sights along the way.  If Sister Swena hadn't asked a kind stranger for directions, we might be wandering the streets of Copenhagen yet.  To be honest though, it was SK who led us astray.  I am beginning to think I have the better directional sense in this twosome!  You know what that means for you - Melissa and Lia....you got it from your Dad!  We left the apartment at 9, and walked into Church 3 minutes before it started at 10.


It is a wonderful little branch and I love the members there, but it is funny to look around and see that 10 of the 40 or so in attendance are wearing missionary badges.  In Sunday School today, the lesson was on "Every Member a Missionary" - and most of us were!

We got home without any bumbling, enjoying the sights from the bus window.







After dinner we walked a few blocks over to Tivoli where they have just turned on the Christmas lights.  We only stood outside, but before Christmas we will go inside and give you a peek.




On the way home we passed by many shops.  I loved the look of this little Christmas shop and want to go back on a week day, and then this little deli looked especially appetizing.  These open-faced sandwiches are very popular here, and sooooooo good.






There is a full moon tonight.....You will see it too in a few hours.  That is a sweet thought.  Good Night.

  2. The shop looks soooo fun! And all the buildings seem to have so much character! If a Dane were to visit here what do you think they would say? Most of our buildings are so boring comparatively!

  3. Those open-faced sandwiches do look good. But how come they don't stick another piece of bread on top to keep everything from falling off?

  4. I think it is all in the way you eat it! But I will have to observe and get back to you on that one. You have to admit that the open-faced sandwiches are a lot prettier than closed ones.

    1. I think the buildings are beautiful. If I were there, I would probably have so many photos on my camera of the buildings. What fun experiences you are having! Thanks for sharing them with us!

  5. I laughed when I read your comment. I saw a beautiful little entryway back into a courtyard with bicycles, flowering shrubs and another doorway. I snapped a picture...but like so many of the pictures I take, they don't begin to convey the beauty of what I am seeing....and I thought of you. You would love it here.
