Mission president couple transfer!

Taken from the Denmark Copenhagen Mission blog... (now maintained by Mikala Olsen, daughter of new Mission Pres.)


Yesterday we said goodbye to President and Sister O'Bryant. We are very grateful for their kindness to us and their great service in the Danish Mission. We have asked our, daughter to post updates and pictures on this blog, she is the new editor. We will briefly introduce ourselves:

We are native Danes and are so excited to be able to serve in the Denmark Copenhagen Mission, a mission we owe everything. We have four children and the two youngest, Christian and Mikala, are living with us in the mission home. We are so excited to serve alongside all of the missionaries in Denmark and Iceland. Some of them we already know and love, and some of them we are excited to get to know and work with for the next three years. We will do everything in our power to support and serve the missionaries.

The next few days we will meet all of the missionaries in person, which we are looking forward to, and we will do our best to keep you updated with pictures on this blog.

The following new mission presidents and their wives have been called by the First Presidency. They will begin their service in July of 2018. Biographies of other mission presidency couples will be published throughout 2018 on news.lds.org.
