And so it begins!

We received our call to serve our 6th mission for our church - The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

We will be serving in the Denmark Copenhagen Mission in the Iceland Mission Region.  It will be another family history mission where we will be doing records preservation with the Europe Area Family History Department.  We will be based in Reykjavik, Iceland.

We are excited to be going somewhere new and different to explore while doing the work that we have come to love.

Stay tuned - more information to come.

    Congrats! Love sharing your adventure. My cousin Holly and her husband Loren Ashby will be serving in Stockholm Sweden but assigned to Iceland, Denmark and Norway. I can't remember their real title. They leave in September. Keep an eye out. Good luck.

    Fantastic - I love hearing all the great places you get to. Lucky you come from Alaska - should be used to the cold? Or have you acclimatized to southern Utah now?

FEBRUARY FIRE AND FROST

February Fire and Frost First part of February .....Temperatures are starting to drop.  We are, as of this entry, at 19 degrees at night with a daytime high in the mid-twenties.  Add in the wind-chill factor (and the wind blows here a lot), it is a wee bit nippy!!  We are at about 7 hours of daylight now!  It is nice to come home in the light instead of the dark. Driving to church on Sunday we were blessed with this absolutely gorgeous sun rise!  Naturally, the pictures don't do it justice.  It looked like the sky was on fire!  Absolutely breathtaking!!! The sunsets are not to be outdone!   These were taken on our way home from work!   We needed to be a wee bit higher to get an unobstructed view. This one was taken looking out the back of our flat from our deck.  This is the tail end of the sunset shown above. Our work here in the National Archives is to scan the Icelandic...

Arriving at the MTC Who? What?  We thought it might say "old and gray" but it actually says "Elder"! Can't quite reach it!!! MTC Group 1 I am sitting next to the single sisters and my sister-in-law is next to me. The single sister next to me has a young man in her home ward who was in our ward in Anchorage, Alas...
