Interesting Day

We started our day with an email about the office Christmas party tomorrow morning.  I volunteered to bring Clementines.  Apparently some thought Jeppe had meant Annika instead of Rebecca.  Mads emailed and said that I was one of the Latter-day Saints that worked in the office now.  Clyde and I found it fascinating that we are Latter-day Saints to them - not Mormons.

We had an uneventful trip to work and did 5 protocols.  We were told that a comparison will be done and then we will start on Church and Civil marriages.  Jeppe is very excited about the work we are doing.  We will be giving a presentation on Feb 7 to all the workers in the City Hall of Copenhagen. We are to explain the motivation for our work and why we are doing this.  We are not allowed to preach the gospel so this should be an interesting discussion.  Jeppe wants to help Clyde put a powerpoint presentation together.

Bo was taking a woman through the archives.  When she saw us, she wanted to know what we were doing there.  He said that we were working with Family Search and doing a great work.  He doesn't realize how much Danish we are starting to understand but it was flattering none the less.

We redid the 3 protocols that we didn't have the camera properly mounted for.  It didn't take long and we feel better having done it.  We would have probably gotten 6 protocols done if I hadn't gotten a migraine.  All of the sudden I had a red dot in the center of my vision.  It is still there a bit but at least  my head isn't pounding.  One of the women from the restoration side of the archives came to tell us that the horrible smell we were smelling was because they were attempting to burn the building down but now had it under control.  One of the office mates brought a hotplate in and forgot about it.  It melted the countertop.

I came home and went to bed.  I did see a few minutes of Santa Claus 2.  It is the first Christmas movie I have seen this season.  It may be the only one. Christmas is just celebrated differently here.  In fact it is more a celebration of the days lengthening than the birth of Christ.  It is very interesting.
