Temple Day

August 25, 2016 - Copenhagen

I chose a town close to the freeway, but far enough out so that we could find parking.  Wrong!  All the commuters got there before we did, but fortunately there was a shopping mall right across the street, so it worked out well.  Got an all day pass on the transportation system and headed for the temple.  They were doing some renovation work on the outside, but it still looked great.  Met one of the temple workers outside, and got some good background on temple operations and layout.  Apparently, the new videos have not been translated into some of the languages, so they primarily use the old ones.  The chapel was just a block away, missionaries were having a District meeting, so we got to talk to a couple of them.  We hiked up to the top of a tower (the church Bishop was an astronomer, so they constructed this big tower on the end of the church), great view of Copenhagen.  Went to the Church of our Lady and saw the original "Christus" statue, then to Thorvalsen's museum.  Absolutely amazing how prolific he was.
