Hallo alle sammen!!
Sounds like you guys have had a busy and warm week!
I'm loving Norway and feel like im adjusting to it. We've had a great week. Missionary work has been awesome! We have a baptism scheduled for June 1st. We've been teaching a guy named Jan ever since I got here and its amazing to see how much the spirit has worked on him. Missionaries have taught him before but this time around he is totally repentent and looking for a fresh start for his life. His wife is a member and his son is the talkative one from skype. I'm excited for him to be baptised because I know the gospel blesses families and baptism will be that fresh start he needs. We also have a few investigators we're working on getting baptismal dates with as well.
Syttende Mai was so fun. We got to go to Oslo all day. There were so many people! Some were dressed in their traditional Norwegian bonads. There were some Sammis as well. For the most part everyone was wearing suits so we blended in as Missionaries (all 20 of us). It was so fun to see all the flags and to party it up with the Norwegians. The parade was very traditional and centered on the children/schools. The King had to wave to everyone for like 3 hours straight. I think the best part was just being in an different culture and cruising the streets of Oslo. Norway is so cool and they are so proud of thier country (cant blame them). Its been pretty warm lately, around 26C although its rainy right now. Everything is getting super pretty and green!
We had dinner on saturday with 3 professional female golfers. Cecilie Lundgreen invited us to come over in eat with her 2 other mormon golfer friends. They made us Mexican food!! Burritos, Fajitas, Chips and salsa... so good. They travel all around the world for the Womens European Golf Tour and they do great missionary work at the same time. Awesome ladies! They even gave us Koolaid and Lucky Charms all the way from the US. I thought about tyring new food this week. We do service at a less active ladies house just helping her around the yard. She offered to make us open faced sandwiches for lunch. I went for the smoked trout and egg combo. Two things I "hate" ended up not being that bad. It wasn't as good as the standard cheese and salami, but it was pretty good.
Anyways, I think we're gonna go check out this fort in Halden and stop by the swedish border on the way.
Enjoy the beach weather! I love you all so much!
