It was a fun day today. We started off our morning with Aebleskivers. You don't make them from scratch here - you buy them in the freezer section of the grocery store. They are spiced with apple pie spice and have apples in the middle. They reminded me of an apple fritter or apple doughnut. Really good but not what we are used too. In Denmark you just put powdered sugar on them.
For Church today we had Sacrament and 2 weeks of Sunday School (in an hour) and then we had SOS after Church. It is Sandwiches og slaegst-history. It is Sandwiches and family history. Everyone brings something for lunch and then they work on the Family History with people that know what they are doing. We didn't get to stay for that part- just a quick lunch because we are singing in the choir and they are getting ready for the Christmas Program next week.
In Sacrament Meeting the Primary sang. It was a quartet. They sang "Jesus Once Was a Little Child" in Danish. I had never considered that a Christmas Carol before but it was quite sweet and made me think about the life of Jesus. For the closing hymn, we sang a carol penned by Hans Christian Andersen. It was about Jesus in the manger and was really quite beautiful. We had 33 people at Sacrament today.
Our wait for the bus was long and there is nowhere to sit down. We walked out of the church and as we started down the street the bus passed us. It was another 2 blocks until we reached the stop - so we waited for 20 minutes for the next one. I am liking taking the train to work.
I am waiting for winter to hit with a vengeance - but so far it has been quite mild for around here. Tomorrow we have to leave work early because the owner of the apartments needs to come and check out our apartment for a loan of some sort. We need to be here between 3:30 and 5.
It is time for me to go and start dinner. Once I warm up from our travels today - life will be wonderful.
