Mid-Summer and just a good time in Silkeborg!

So it is that time of year where you in Denamrk celebrate mid-summer. We make a huge fire and have a fake witch on a broom on it. It is just a Danish thing :o). Ældste Holbrook has seen it once before on the mission and many times before as we have been in Denmark but it is always fun to see it again and sing the Danish folk songs.

 Waiting for the fire to get going!

Here it is smokey and all ;o)

 I love LOVE this young man. He is amazing!

Look at this nature picture. You just gotta love it!

Ældste Holbrook had another great week. he got to spend time with awesome people and has been blesses in so many ways.

First week in Silkeborg branch and HAPPY 20th birthday :o)

So it has been transfers again and Ældste Holbrook have been moved one last time on the mission. He has been moved the the small but sweet branch in Silkeborg. Silkeborg is a very BEAUTIFUL part of Denmark with it's many lakes. I am excited for him to see yet another part of Denmark.

A great first week for Ældste Holbrook in Silkeborg. He was spoiled on his birthday and he is already love the area and the people!! I am so grateful that he will have a chance to serve here for a few weeks before returning home to us in Utah.

Last week in Odense and 3 wonderful monts are gone!!

Ældste Holbrook is getting transferred this week and he will be spending his last 6 weeks on the mission in the Silkeborg Branch. He did not anticipate that we would get transferred because he only has so few weeks left and he had only been in Odense for 3 months bu the Lord has a way of giving you just what you need ;o)

Odense was a wonderful place for Ældste Holbrook. He really enjoyed serving there and would have liked to stay till the end of the mission there. But like he told me. " I will go where you want me to go dear Lord", so he will be serving in Silkeborg for the remaining part of the mission! Go and work hard. Make new friends and KNOW you are LOVED and missed!!
