Denmark May 2013

For five years my parents have been planning to take all of their 11 children and spouses to Denmark for their 50th wedding anniversary.  We had a wonderful time!  The main point was to honor our ancestor Peter Nielson, who joined the church in Denmark and immigrated to America.  I am so thankful that he accepted the gospel.  It has changed my life!
 We stayed four nights in Copenhagen.  My favorite part was seeing the original Christus since it was part of my tour as a missionary at Temple Square.  Copenhagen was a beautiful city!  Everyone seemed to ride bikes.  The people all spoke American english and were very friendly.
Then we spent 3 nights on the island of Bornholm, where Peter Nielson was born.  I especially loved Bornholm.  It was so beautiful!
