A Most Fascinating Day

Today was not the most productive day we have ever had because of the interruptions.  We visited with the two new young men - Jens and Anders, as they came in.  Jeppe had some concerns and suggestions and then Elisabeth sat down to visit several times.  We may not have captured 2000 images but we did make memories.

Anders is a historian.  He was born right on the Danish/German border and speaks German better than his English (which is excellent).  He came in very excited because there is comprehensive Danish History that fills a book shelf - that has now been digitized.  In it are several pages about the Mormon Missionaries coming and 'recruiting' thousands of Danes.  I told him over 24000 went to Utah.  The write up was very flattering.  He asked me about Joseph Smith and I was able to bear my testimony about the First Vision.  It was quite amazing.  He later came in and said that he was told by the other IT guys that we did not mind interruptions.  I told him we did not.  I am looking forward to what other tidbits he comes up with to share.  He lives by the Copenhagen Temple and said he has never met an LDS member he has not liked.  I am quite impressed with this young man and look forward to spending the next 2 weeks with him.

Brookes just called and wanted to know if we would go to an outdoor museum with them on Saturday.  Looking forward to that.
