This week was a holiday called Sankt Hans
Dag. It comes from back in the day when witch burning was socially acceptable.
Once a year, the Danes build the biggest bonfire they can and burn a
scarecrow type thing that looks like a witch. It also celebrates the
summer solstice, but nobody really pays attention to that. :) Once the fire is
a little smaller, they wrap bread dough around big long sticks and cook
it-and then you eat the rolls with jam or whatever else you want. It
was way fun! We had a huge ward party-everyone said that our bonfire was one of
the biggest they've ever seen. This ward is so fun-there are so many kids and
they all love hanging out with the missionaries! It makes us feel way loved.

| Biggest, Hottest Bonfire I have EVER seen! It singed the leaves on the trees and burned the lawn! | | |

| Even standing this far away we can feel the heat! |

We went to a Fourth of July party / birthday party,
and a HUGE water
fight broke out. Main targets - the Missionaries.
These are the results.
