Europe Trip Day 12 – 17
Ah, Norway. Home of my ancestors. What a beautiful country. Really, one of the most beautiful places on earth. Maybe I’m biased because I’ve always wanted to come here, maybe it truly is. I don’t know, but I really like it here. I’m condensing this post into one because there isn’t as much to say.…

Europe Trip Day 11
Bro Kristian’s alarm is going off. It’s 5:45 AM. The snow plow was plowing the parking lot around 4AM. Kristian isn’t waking up to his alarm. Must be nice. I get up and knock on the door, if I can’t sleep, neither can he. He wakes up and turns off his alarm. We grab coffee…

Europe Trip Day 10
Is it morning already? Mornings are the worst and after changing another two time zones, I feel very lethargic in the mornings. I am taking my vitamins very faithfully for the energy they provide. Still, it takes some time to “warm up” and get my body going each day. Each day gets a little better,…

Europe Trip Day 9
Today we wake, shower, and head to the mansion for breakfast. Service will start at 11:30. The food is typical, bread, cheese, jam, lettuce, tomato, ham or salami, and hard-boiled egg. The Finnish brothers have been joking that we will eat a lot of bread in Norway. I tell them we’re eating a lot of…

Europe Trip Day 8
Today we woke up to a nice breakfast. Kristian had a nice morning scheduled for us to do a little touring in the town of Jyvaskyla. We started out with a little ice skating on the lake. Ice skating in Finland! Why? Because it’s cold here and you can! This wasn’t just a skating rink…

Europe Trip Day 7 – Finland
I awoke and had my last English breakfast at the hotel. Ok, so I really didn’t, I didn’t eat the scrambled eggs, the baked beans, or the thick back bacon. I had toast, jelly, and yogurt with granola. Something simple, something light! I took the bus over to the airport and got checked in.…

Europe Trip Day 6
Today is my last day in England. It’s been a very nice time, and I have made some wonderful friends. I woke up late and started packing. Sis Sharon was kind enough to do some laundry for me, so I’ll still have some fresh clothes for the remainder of the trip. Bro Gerald came to…

Europe Trip: Day 5
Today I woke up and felt quite nice, actually. Much better than yesterday. I guess the jet lag has passed and I am generally on England time. Good thing too, because I leave in two days and go another two time zones farther! A couple of brothers game me each a contact in London that…

EUROPE TRIP: THE SUFFERING AND THE STARBUCKS.
My friend in Finland invited me to preach a weekend of meetings, so I arranged with other contacts to have meetings in other areas. If I’m going to spend 8 hours flying across the Atlantic I’m going to try and make it worth it! Yes, I’m headed to Europe to preach! How cool is that!…
