Hej hej

Hej everybody. Well things are going really great down here. The Copenhagen temple was really great. I had an awesome time. We rode there on the ferry and then we went to the temple which looks like a government building but it is really beautiful inside. It was amazing I had a great experience there. Cool thing happened. There was a guy talking in Danish and I heard something like, "Jag kommer från USA". Without even thinking I was like "oh hey me too!" It was an older guy and he just looked at me a little stunned then he asked where I was from and I told him Wyoming then he asked where in Wyoming and I said Lander and he was like, "oh ya I was there last summer for a motorcycle trip. Nice place." Oh my gosh I was sooooo excited that someone first of all knew where Wyoming was and had been in Lander! It made my day even better. Turns out he lives in Salt Lake and served a mission when he was young in Denmark. So it was awesome to meet him. After that we all ate lunch and then hung out in Copenhagen, went to the LDS Bookstore there and got a few things including a book there. (Wartime Memories of Werner Klein) I suggest everyone read it. Its sooo good. It's a church book but its amazing. So after that I went to church the next day and the sister missionaries came over after church and ate dinner at my house which was way nice. Monday-Thursday was just school, nothing exciting except that on Thursday I went to a craft fair with Ann and Matilda in Halmstad. It was the BIGGEST Craft fair I have ever gone to. Jaunita, Mom, and I could probably shop there for a whole day. There was a 3 story barn there that was filled with stands (by the way the fair was at the Halmstad castle, which is smaller than other castles but still its a castle.) Then there were stands all over the place. There was another 2 story building filled with stands. It was amazing. I could definitely go back. So that was the highlight of the week. Today I went to school with Ann and helped with the class which was pretty fun. After school we came home ate lunch and then some guys came over to install a little water spout that makes it so it is bubbly water (gas water) so thats pretty cool. While they were there Ann taught me how to knit a hot pad from yarn. It is really fun and relaxing. Its crazy the skills that i have learned here but i like it. So Ann and I have been knitting the rest of the day haha. So thats the update! Hope everyone is doing great! Love you bunches.
Love,
Micah
