First Three Days

Well I don't have too much time this morning, so this will be short.  So far I have been in Denmark for three days.  And what I can say is, I love it!  Everyone is so friendly and hospitable.  On Sabbath we went to a pathfinder camp out so that we could meet some of the students and teachers.  This week is orientation.  We have a bunch of meetings and practical stuff to get out of the way.  And some of the older students are coming to help clean up the school before everyone arrives on Sunday.
A quick explanation of school systems in Denmark.  K-8 is the same, but for high school there is G1, G2, and G3.  G1 is like 9th grade, G2 is like tenth grade and G3 is like 11th grade.  11th Grade is their last year of high school.  G2 is optional, if they want to quit school after G1 and peruse a trade they can, if they aren't sure what they want to do there is G2-A and G2-G (i think) the G section is for those who aren't sure what they want to do, so basically just like taking generals in college.

Happy Monday!
