In Trondheim 8/18/09

8/18/09
We drove to Trondheim yesterday arriving around 9 p.m.  The drive was amazing. We traveled through Gudbrands dalen (the valley of Gods fire) and it was beautiful scenery all the way. I would comment to mom to look at something and she was asleep. I told her we were traveling some of the most beautiful country in the world and she was sleeping through it. It began to rain around Lillehammer (1994 olympics site) and rained off and on the rest of the trip. The car was packed with our luggage but performed well.  We are trying to find our way around Trondheim today--be getting lost.  We found the chapel and are now in the YSA outreach center. Our apt does not have internet access, so we need to use this facility to keep in touch with the world.
 
love,
mom and dad/Gerald and Nancy/Elder and Sister Sorensen
 
Reply from Bud & Gaye:
Welcome home!!!  We remember the fantastic scenery you drove through.  It is some of the most beautiful in the world.  We are glad you are there safely.  Did the other suitcase show up?  We hope so.  God bless you.  We know you will touch many lives there and be a blessing in all you do.  Love,  Gaye

A reply from Mom and Dad to Kristin - to be forwarded to the fam:
  They replied to a note I'd sent & asked that I forward this to everyone. KristinSmiley emoticon
    Not really a reply--Did you see my hair cutting scissors, razor and comb any where.  I have been looking for them and can't find them.  We may need a few things.  The grocery stores are very interesting.  They are like enlarged mini marts.  Food is expensive.  Today we had to buy bedding--pillows, a dyna, and a duvue (sp)--no sheet yet.
   
    Our apartment is about the size of our kitchen.  The only thing in the bedroom is the bed and the ladder hanging on the wall to get to the attice--nothing else fits.  You climb in and out from the end of the bed.  From the bedroom, you go through the living room and kitchen and it looks like you are going outside--turn left and there is the bathroom--door to the right is outside.  Everything is VERY close.
    
    We were lost several times today.  We need a gps, but haven't found one yet.  We have a hard time finding our way home. How can we visit less actives???
    
    We are here at the church and are leaving to try and find our way home before it gets dark.
    
    Love to all,
    
    MOM and DAD
    
    you could pass this to the family Thanks
