Copenhagen

Lovely January visit to neighbors and friends Janet and Jim Williams, the temple presidents in Copenhagen.  They have served 8 of their last 10 years out of the country - great leaders!

Their temple is very inviting and has unique Scandinavian touches.

Area Presidency member Tim and Jill Dyches' daughter helped paint the murals in the Baptistry. They're amazing and truly reflect Danish artistry.

  Bertel Thorvaldsen's Christus statue, located in the Church of Our Lady.

Our new Canon Rebel camera makes everything look good.

Danish pastry - the real thing

One of many Hans Christian Andersen statues. This one looks toward fun in Tivoli Gardens.

Here's the statue of Kristina that LDS sculptor Dennis Smith created. She represents the many saints who left Europe. Between 1850 and 1900, over eighteen thousand Danes joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and immigrated to Utah.  Dennis wrote: "I  wondered about birth and death and the more-mysterious thoughts we all harbor about crossing over—like Kristina must have wondered—and of the hopes we all hold dear of maybe going home someday to a place we struggle here to even comprehend, let alone remember."
