This and That

I love that you are writing a play. And yes, being with your friends is really lucky. Keep at it and keep thinking about making it hang together like we've learned. I'll love to hear about it as you go on.

I forgot to tell you yesterday that Hans Christian Andersen was born on April 2, 1805. Isn't that interesting that you share the same birthday? Only 192 years apart?

Today we stopped for a minute on the street where he lived when he was a little boy. A shop across the street sold all kinds of memorabilia about him. I did buy his book of Fairy Tales. So now I have something wonderful to read. I will look carefully at how he crafts his words. Even though it is in translation from the Danish.

Tonight I am sleeping in Copenhagen. My room is wonderful, on the fourth floor, big windows, and lots of Danish modern furniture. I love it. So clean.

We rode here on the train with the sun setting behind us. Twilight lingered for about an hour. It's just barely vernal equinox time on the 21 of March, so in Utah the day will be 12 hours long and the night will be 12 hour long. But here, it is so far north, the day is already longer than the night. So interesting how that works.

We fly to Oslo, Norway tomorrow. Our training today with the Center couple in Odense went very well. I talked about the brother of Jared and how he saw the finger of the Lord. I love that part of the Book of Mormon. And it teaches so well about praying. About asking Father in Heaven for the things we need. The brother of Jared SAW.

Much love,
