December 2

Scripture of the day: Ephesians 6:8

Today was Zone Conference and we learned about 'Share the Gift' at Christmas.mormon.org
This is a short video on the greatest Christmas Gift of all.  I highly recommend it.  We will be given pass-along cards to hand out in Danish, thanks to a brother from the Fredericksburg Ward.  Such a blessing.  We then had a traditional Danish Christmas Dinner which consisted of roasted pork with the rind cooked until is crispy like pork rinds.  SO GOOD!  The sides were cooked cabbage and potatoes with a sugar glaze on it - like we make sweet potatoes.  For dessert we had Danish Rice Pudding.  There are whole almonds hidden in the dessert.  Whoever finds an almond - they must keep secret until everyone has finished their desserts.  Then the person with whole almond stands and gets a special present.  Clyde got a whole almond today and received a small 2015 calendar, a box of breath mints and a 'marzipan roll' that tastes a lot like Almond Joy.
Very fun day.
