Temple, Ward Party and Singing

Well, first off, we found out about transfers. I'm staying in Roskilde

and am super excited I get to be here longer :) It's been fun trying

to open up the area for sisters and my goal is to catch it on fire

before I leave, figuratively speaking, of course.

Another one of those eventful weeks... the kind that even though you

usually write in your journal every single night, you run completely

out of time to write in your journal 4 nights in a row! So I'm hoping

I can back track it all tonight.

Sarah from my last ward asked me to come to the temple with her and a

few others last week. She was going through for the first time and I

got to go! What a joyous experience. I feel so blessed that I was

close enough to go and that my companion was willing to come with me

:)

While at the temple, I saw a handful of familiar faces. Because of

that, it felt just like the San Antonio temple to me. Of course, San

Antonio will always be my first home.

We also met with the Bagel Shop employee. We gave him a copy of the

Restoration film. He said he is going to watch it. We'll be back this

week to see what he thought of it.

We went to dinner at a member's house this week and they had a

Christmas cd in. Two of the songs on it were Panis Angelicus and Pie

Jesu. Totally reminded me of being in choir. I was trying to hum Panis

Angelicus under my breath while we were eating while it was playing,

but that song is so high that it is impossible. None of the other

missionaries knew it.

The ward Christmas party was a success. We were enlisted in decorating

once again with Sini and Amber as decorating co-chairs. It was quite

the event! Complete with a Danish gift Exchange (where you roll for a

certain number and then grab the wrapped present of your choice, there

are more rules, but not enough time), dancing around the Christmas

tree, the missionaries were assigned to do a skit and sing, there were

games and dinner and dessert.

Oh and yesterday, Sister Peterson and I sang O Holy Night in the ward.

I really never knew I would sing this much as a missionary, but I

absolutely love it. We are going to go caroling more this week and

next week to meet new people. I'm excited :)

Can't believe it is Christmas next week! Love you all so much!

Med kærligste hilsener,

Søster Orgill

P.S. I forgot to mention that last preparation day we went to Tivoli,

an amusement park. They had this really cool ride that I think was a

hundred years old. It was way fun. No seat belts, just a bar and you

could keep your purse or backpack with you. I lifted up my hands on

the ride and almost flew out. Ha ha, scary! But it was fun and it was

beautiful to see all the Christmas lights that covered the entire

park.
