Jylland Zone Conference September 2017

The following pictures and captions were taken from Sis O'Bryant's Cop-Den Mission Blog. We love how she keeps us updated on our missionaries and the work in the Copenhagen Mission!


 -Beautiful day while overlooking Aarhus.  This is one of my favorite scenes in Denmark.  I just love the colors of the buildings against the blue sky with fluffy white clouds.  Denmark is truly a beautiful place.

 Zone Conference was wonderful.  Not only do we have awesome missionaries who come prepared to listen, be taught and apply what they have learned, but the training was over the Life of Christ as well as learning How Jesus Taught.  Preach My Gospel, chapter 10, teaches us how to acquire better teaching skills.  Christ was the Master teacher.  We seek to become more like Him. 
-Birthdays are celebrated by singing a traditional danish song and then giving complimentary comments. They love this traditional birthday song...with all it's actions, of course.
-Introduction of the newly arrived missionaries by their companions.
- The new missionaries bear their testimonies in Danish.  It's truly incredible how much they can say and how we feel the spirit while they speak in the language. 
-President teaching on the Life of Christ.
  After President's training we had a delicious break with BIG chocolate chip and snickerdoodle cookies.  This time two of our elders, Elders Christensen and Lex,  joined in making the cookies.  I wish we got a picture but it was a "BIG cookie" competition.  They were delicious also;-)
- Sister O'Bryant teaching on the methods Christ used to Teach effectively.
- Welcome to our little Italy with Pizza and salad.  Oh, and Creme soda floats for dessert;-) 
-We love these missionaries<3 
- Stake conference was wonderful.  We have great leaders.  We received a visit from a general authority seventy, Elder Ciacci.  The spirit was strong.  The sun was shining and the missionaries arrived early. 
-Stake Conference was held in a concert hall at the music center.  The choir was prepared and sung beautifully.  However, Sister O'Bryant was asked to play an organ solo, "I Believe in Christ".  Yes, she is the small dot in the middle of the picture.  This will always be known as her, "Why did I say YES" experience...but she survived....barely:-O
