On the first day of the second half of our mission, I have made some resolutions.
I will take advantage of every good weather day we have to walk and to see beautiful Copenhagen.
I will cut back on the pastries and other non-nourishing food so that I feel as good as is possible.
I will be in bed every night by 12....if at all possible, and up by 8, no matter what time we get in bed.
I will listen to a Danish lesson and speak some Danish every day.
How is that for starters?
We have Golden Days coming up this weekend. The whole city gets involved in kind of a weekend of open houses. Our YSAs also have a Golden Days celebration. It is Friday, Saturday and Sunday. All of Scandinavia is invited, but it is not as big an event as Festinord where around 700 attended. We will have about 200 in attendance.
I have been asked to speak to two of the classes, an hour each. There may only be 4 or 5 in each class, but I was given my own choice of topics, so I will give a slide talk about how Jesus Christ has been portrayed in art.
I have given it a number of times, and enjoy it very much. Since the entire event will be in English, I will fit right in.
So most of this week, in my spare time I will be thinking about the Savior.
It will be a great week.
Love your decision to focus your talk(s) on art depicting the Savior. You are really ambitious on the other things you plan to do. Good Luck! Knowing you - you WILL do most of it. L&P
