Tracting in Denmark

I recieved a generic e-mail along with this photo from the mission office letting me know that Brian arrived in Denmark. The photo is assurance since the e-mail just said "your missionary." We got to talk to Brian on Monday during his layover in NYC. It was good to hear his voice and his excitement, though he was pretty stressed about the travel. He has not had much flying experience and he was the travel leader.

Since Brian wasn't able to email last week he caught us up on his last week at the MTC. He got in one more trip to Costco and the Dr's office, a final Sunday devotional sitting with Matt and a memorable Thanksgiving...MTC style. Thanksgiving day begain with an "awesome" devotional with Elder Holland. They were served dinner at 11:30 a.m. (by some very nice people I might add). Then they worked on their humanitarian project all afternoon (school kits). Brain and his companion were leaders for this project and featured in the instructional video. Brian says he is going down in MTC history as this video will be used for years to come...

Brian also told us what was on the agenda after arrival in Denmark. They were met in the Copenhagen airport by the mission president and the APs. Then the APs took them downtown to tract for an hour (with their MTC companion)...with no sleep I might add, it is now Tuesday in Copenhagen. Brian was actually very excited about this. He did speak a little Danish to us over the phone...it sounded more like Tongan to me, but what do I know. Finally, they would go on to the mission home to spend their first night. Wednesday they would be picked up by their trainers and travel to their assigned areas. So right now, Brian is probably settling in for his first night in some mystery location in Denmark. I guess we will learn more next Monday (P-day).
