Yesterday we drove to Kristiansund--about 220Km (130 mi) to visit some members who live there. It is about a 4 hour drive, although we took longer because I stopped several times to take photos of the beautiful scenery. The batteries in both cameras died about 1/2 way there, so the last half of the trip went faster than the first. We had to take a ferry across the fjord at one point (about 20 minutes) and then drove in a tunnel under the fjord in another spot--the tunnel is 5.1Km long (about 3 mi). It makes you feel a little funny when you know you are under the fjord and there is water dripping from the roof onto the windshield throughout the trip. We had good visits with the members, spent the night in a hotel in the middle of town and returned today. It rained for a good portion of the trip both ways and at times when we were in Kristiansund, it just poured. Thank goodness we were inside at those times. When we got out to go to one house, the wind was really blowing hard. The house was on a hill not far from the sea.
We are at the church now waiting for dinner with those who come to institute. We eat at 6, have a lesson from 7-8 and then some stay and play games until 9 or 10. One of the members was just here to pick up the sisters to go teach a lesson. He is a teacher and we were asking him how he likes teaching. His response: I am like a cow in high pasture grass--I am udderly tickled.
Love,
Gerald and Nancy/Mom and Dad/Elder and Sister Sorensen
