The younger kiddles initially had a difficult time remembering where Ben was called to serve, so we made up this rhyme to help them: BenMark is going to Denmark. It's perfect since Ben's middle name is Mark!
Today in church Ben announced his call in Sacrament meeting. Another teary moment! It was fun to have people congratulate him and us. We are grateful to have a worthy son.
For an early Sunday evening family night, the kiddles divided into buddy teams and did brief reports on Denmark and Iceland, colored flags, and taught us Danish words. We ended with "ice" cream for dessert. Here is a fun video Sariah and Avi made about Iceland:
Here is a great powerpoint of facts that Sam and Baden created about Denmark. Did you know Legos were invented in Denmark? Also, Denmark is often ranked as the happiest place in the world!
It sounds like the perfect mission for Ben!
Ben also opened his lds missionary account, which has a fun tracker to show how many days until you report! Since he needs two full suits plus plenty of warm clothes, he checked out the missionary attire site.
What a fun surprise to see Uncle Jake smiling back at us!!! Let the missionary journey begin!
