On the weekend if the 18th of January we had a special Friday night where the boarding students were sent to the homes of the church members at the local church for dinner. It gives them the opportunity to meet and get to know some of the church members, and to be in a home setting for the night. It makes a difference when the kids come to church and someone knows their name. It is a great thing for the kids. It was also so good for us! The student missionaries went to our Danish teachers house for dinner. It was such a Good night, having a different meal and spending time together as a group. It was really really nice. Nights like those are treasured!
On Saturday afternoon (the sun set at about 3:45!) the school took the students Ice Skating in a town about 30 minutes from the school. It is tough to entertain the kids for the few hours between 'night' and the dark hours of the afternoon, so activities like Ice Skating was a fantastic thing to take he kids to. It was a really great evening! I was surprised at how quite a few of the students couldn't skate! This place is freezing and has winters cold enough to freeze large bodies of water! It was a good thing though, because I fit in quite well! It was a rink in the open air and in the middle of a really pretty European town. There were fairy lights everywhere and little ally ways and old buildings with this tiny little rink in the middle of this square. Coolest ice skating rink I've been to! I took some photos, but they are terrible. My mind was focused on skating and trying to stop my fingers from hurting in the cold!!!
