But the biggest highlight of the week was that on Friday we had two
eating appointments with members (all 4 missionaries present). We were expecting
a small meal for lunch. A classic Danish lunch. We arrive and the branch
president's wife says ''Well I hope you are hungry.... I made you Jul
resten!!.....(which means everything that is made for Christmas I have made for you....).'' She even made a
schedule of what we would be eating. NO JOKE!!! There were 12 dishes!!!! ANd
they weren't small portion of dishes. They were full-sized! DEATH I SAY haha.
The first half was all fish dishes. And everybody knows how much I love fish
>=P. Than we just ate and ate and ate!! Because it's Christmas season and Danish tradition
to have long meal times especially during the holiday season, we had the
permission to have long eating appointments. Well we started at 1pm and we
finished eating at 5pm. We literally ate non-stop!!!! Had a few breaks but it
was never going to be enough. Than we got driven with pain in our stomachs from
stuffing ourselves, to our next eating appointment. All I was able to put down
was a piece of meat, half a potatoe, some red cabbage, and rice pudding. IT TOOK
ME 2 HOURS TO DO SO!!! I felt so bad for the members because they spent time
making so much food. But we all couldn't do it haha. I came home and found out I
gained 6lbs. from all the food!!!! And I still haven't lost any of it. haha.
That is what the missionaries gift was in Skive for Christmas. DEATH!!! haha.
Well this is all the time that I have. I hope everyone has had the
opportunity to come closer to the Saviour during this Christmas season. I Love you all and wish you et godt nyt
år!!! ( A happy new year) Thanks for everything!
