Katch-up

So its been a little while since I got on so I have quite a lot to say.
First off here is a link to all the pictures that I took over the weekend on our way down to Oslo:

Now I hope that works. Okay, so much to say. So Friday I got to skip out of school and take a trip down to Oslo. It took us about nine hours and we stopped several times along the way. We had a little fire and ate hot dogs, and a the kids went hiking around the woods. We stopped in Lille Hamer, which is where they held some of the Olympics back in '94 or something like that. We also stopped just at a rest stop/gas station and that is where all the troll pictures come in. It was a very long long long trip.
When we arrived we were able to stay with a really nice older couple. They had a very big home and we were able to have the whole top floor, which had three rooms and a bathroom. We toured Oslo a bit, and unfortunately my camera ran out of batteries even though I had put new ones in before I left the house the day before.  We went and saw an amazing old ship called "The Fram" which went down to the Antarctic and when they brought it back they stuck it in a museum.
We went to a statue garden, Tyler, A.J., and I stared at the ground the whole time.....We couldn't wait to get out of there. We didn't stay very long at all Thank Goodness. We went to the Youth Center and got directions to an amazing Kebab shop. (They are a lot like Gyros but a lot better.) They were huge, my parents cut two in half so us kids could each have a half. It was about 6 inches long and 2 or 3 across. They were so good, but I don't think I could have eaten a whole one!
Unfortunately we ran out of time and had to come home my dad had a meeting at 3:30 so we had to get home before 2. My siblings and I stayed home and played games with my mom. The next morning we got up and ready for the meeting. We were able to find seats, even with all the people that were there and my dad stopping to talk every few feet with someone he recognized from 20 years ago or a missionary that was recently in Trondheim. As we started the meeting quite a bit was in Norwegian, but the General Authorities speak English!! So I was able to understand it! They reorganized the existing stake and added the SECOND STAKE EVER IN NORWAY!!!!!!!!! All the Saints here are pretty excited.
After the meeting we started our nine hour drive back home stopping a few times to look around and get pictures. Then we were home.

One other good piece of news, I am signed up for EFY Europe! It is going to take place in Sweden and most likely in English since Danes, Swedes, and Norwegians don't understand each other very well. I am going to take a train down to Oslo and then a shuttle across the border to the city in Sweden. I am so excited it is the first week in July, and this will be my first time to go! Any way I'm pretty excited for that.

If you read this please leave a comment, I want to see how many people read this-because I don't have a little counter thing. The one that is available on the blogger is screwy, it keeps giving me different numbers every day and they don't go up the go down. 8 one day and then 2 the next. Any ways Thank You for reading this!
