Sweden/Denmark Trip: Sheep Farm

(journal entry from August 29, 2019) Last night, I didn’t get the best sleep. There was a big thunderstorm that lasted several hours. A lot of thunder and lightning. And even though I had my earplugs in, I could still hear it and it kept waking me up. But at some point I finally fell...

Sweden/Denmark Trip: Kayaking and Tree Tenting

(journal entry from August 29, 2019) When we got to Gryt, We dropped my parents off at their Airbnb (because they weren’t interested in kayaking with us) and Jershon and I drove over to the kayak rental place.

Sweden/Denmark Trip: Stockholm

(journal entry from August 30, 2019) Stockholm is so big! Especially after being in the country for most of the trip so far. We definitely prefer the country… especially the driving part. Driving here is crazy! We missed so many exits because our GPS would lose signal in the tunnels (which are everywhere because Stockholm...

Sweden/Denmark Trip: Stockholm Temple and Fallens Dag

(journal entry from August 31, 2019) We got to the Stockholm temple in time to attend the last session of the day (which was noon).

Sweden/Denmark Trip: Bornholm (part 1)

(journal entry from September 1, 2019) This morning we got up, ate breakfast, packed up and headed to church. Luckily, the place that we stayed last night was only about 15 minutes away from a ward building. Today was fast and testimony meeting and since we don’t speak Swedish, they gave us head sets to...

Sweden/Denmark Trip: Bornholm (part 2)

I need to add some backstory here so the rest will make sense… Back in July, I serendipitously ran across a book that was written about my 4th great grandfather, Hans Ancher Kofoed. This ancestor is on my dad’s side (my Swedish ancestors are on my mom’s side.) Hans immigrated in 1857. Through this book,...

Sweden/Denmark Trip: Copenhagen Temple and Christus Statue

(journal entry from September 3, 2019) Last night, after riding the ferry from Bornholm back to Ystad, we got in the car and drove an hour to Copenhagen, leaving Sweden and heading into our final night. We found our Airbnb, but finding parking proved to be pretty difficult. City living isn’t my ideal. I’m glad...

Sweden/Denmark Trip: Keeper of My Dreams

This may or may not be the last thing I share about my Sweden/Denmark trip. I can’t make any promises. Haha. 🙂 Jershon is the keeper of my dreams. When I have a dream, he does all he can to make it happen. I’m so glad that I get to experience life with him.
