Today was Zone Conference for our island of Zealand (pronounced zjayland) Denmark. We had a wonderful meeting and then a traditional pork dinner with caramelized potatoes and boiled cabbage. It was fabulous! For dessert we had traditional rice porridge with cherry sauce on it. The thing about Danish rice pudding (or porridge) is that they have chopped almonds in it instead of raisins. It is about the best thing I have every eaten! I will try to find a recipe and post it - because I think this will be a new tradition in our home for Christmas. The other tradition with the Rice Pudding is there is one whole almond in the bowl. You cannot tell you have the almond until the dessert is over. Then you reveal the almond and get a prize. But if you reveal the almond before it is time - you have to do all the dishes! Most people cheek it and continue on with the conversation as though nothing happened until the head of the family or party asks who has it. Fun tradition.
They also fry the rind on the pork roast so it is crispy. They carefully take the fat cap off and then cook it until is crispy and serve it along side the pork. Makes quite a tasty dish.
We ended up taking 3 buses and walking 15 minutes to get to the church. We did link up with the sisters that are in our area. I have a feeling we will be seeing them quite a bit - especially since they are both terribly homesick right now. It has been a wonderful day.

I only had one area with a senior couple and they helped us so much. They were such a blessing and an inspiration to us. I love to hear about your mission and I love you.
