Aaron P. Christiansen mission journal, 1910-1912.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/367866185

Handwritten mission journal of Aaron P. Christiansen, September 30, 1910 - September 17, 1912. Christiansen, a native of Mayfield, Utah, stops in Chicago on the way to Denmark and tours a Masonic Temple. He arrives in Copenhagen on October 26, 1910 and shakes hands with Danish people who he doesn't understand. His Danish improves enough for him to bear his testimony in Church a few months later. He works hard both in the office and the mission field: one day he visits three hundred seventy-five families. He sees picture shows. At the end of his journal, while he's still on his mission, he is yelled at by a crazy man who thinks God wants to warn the Mormons.
