Hej!
Letter 2
We Didn't Start The Fire!!
(Response to my note - "Who left the curling iron plugged in?")
Hello!!!!
Yes, it's true. There was a fire in our Apartment due to some electrical issues. no one left anything plugged in. It is actually quite amazing that none of us our hurt. Sister Hall and I were fasting that day so we didn't go back for lunch. We considered going back to take a nap during our lunch hour, but i didn't feel good about that so we stayed out.
Pretty much everything is ruined. Fortunately I was able to get my passport and migraine medicine. Thank goodness. We did some shopping today. clothes are so expensive it makes me sick. Im sorry. I am officially the most expensive child.
We are doing well though. Elder and Sister Køster are serving a couples mission in Bornholm so we are staying in their home. It is definitely an upgrade from our Apartment.
Im still kind of having a hard time believing that it happened. The Wards here in Odense have been amazing. Words cannot Express how grateful I am for all the help, clothes, and food they have given us. We are so fortunate.

Fire Sale!!!
passport is safe, migraine medicine is safe, area book is safe, and so are the scriptures that I have had since I was 8. I don't remember putting them in the case when we left that day, but when we went back to the Apartment they were in the case and protected from the fire. I had my camera with me so Pictures are fine. My journal is nasty, but it survived. What wasn't burned by the fire is completely damaged by smoke. so yeah. crazy huh?Letter 4
Okay, take two.
I will try and explain Things better this time. But before I
begin I would just like to say that I was able to go to the Copenhagen temple
it was wonderful. Really, I had no idea how much I have missed the temple. We
had to go to Copenhagen for my language test, (all missionaries have to take
it) and after we got their we discovered that I wasn't scheduled to take the
test, so that caused some stress but the people were very kind and worked with
the office to let me take the test. Oh yeah and on the way I started having a
migraine. So it was all just kind of hectic and then we had to be at the temple
at a certain time so we literally ran there. It was so crazy getting there, but
as soon as I stepped into the temple I was just overcome with so much Peace. It
was such a good feeling. Im so grateful for the opportunity i had to go.
So back to the fire. Sister Hall and I had decided the night
before to fast together. We left the Apartment at 10:30 and started contacting.
There was a marathon taking place in Odense so we basically invited everyone
watching the marathon to come to church. Lunch time came around, but we were
fasting. The night before we considered taking a nap during our lunch hour but
I just did not have a good feeling about that. I think i know why now. So we
stayed out. Our church starts at 2, and towards the end of sacrament meeting
the Sister Briscoe and Sister Bartholomew motioned for sister Hall and I to
come out. Right then i knew something was wrong, but I had no idea what it was.
We went Down in the basement and they told us that our Apartment had caught on
fire and that everything was destroyed. Then we dropped to our knees and prayed
together.
As soon as president found out he was on his way, so we
waited for him to get to the church. when he got there we went and looked at
the Apartment. I have some Pictures, but it doesn't do it Justice. EVERYTHING
is Black and covered in soot. It was horrible.
The members have been amazing though. We are all doing well.
We went shopping today so that was good. But everything is so expensive.
