Wrong Turn

WRONG TURN!

Well last week Elder Johnson and me were on our way to give a member a blessing out in Gryllefjord.

But I went against my better judgement and trusted the GPS. well needless to say the Gps was right. but it was wrong! The Gps toke us to a place called Sommarøy, a place where Elder Johnson and I have wanted to go for a while now since being here in Tromsø. So it did work out. but sadly to say the ferry that was suppose to take us from Sommarøy to Senja was closed during the winter.  It would have cut off a hour of driving time if... it would have been open but it was not. Sorry GPS but you failed again!!! haha you can never trust those things.  anyways two days later Elder Johnson and I once again, set out for our journey to Gryllefjord.  This time we succeeded! about 2 and half hours into our 3 hour journey Elder Johnson told me to stop and turn around that he just saw a Giant Troll...  well he had me there! :) So I turned around...  low and behold there was a Giant Troll.... actually lots of trolls! all over the place! haha it was a Troll Park!  we stopped only for a few minutes and continued our journey to Gryllefjord, so we could continue the Lords work. It was a great trip and well worth every minute off time spent in the car.  I am very glad we were able to help this member out. 

Well that's this week story! I hope you all enjoy the pictures and next week I will be writing you from my new location Tønsberg!!!

Thank you for all of your love and support!

Love  Elder Strange.

Unexpected Travels

Unexpected Travels 

Well last week Elder Johnson and I received a phone call from the Assistants, saying that Elder Johnson and I needed to drive 4 hours out of hour area to go pick up the summer tires for another car... that were stored 

in the city Alta and were forgotten when the Alta car was dropped off here in Tromsø. 

so last week Elder Johnson and I drove up to Alta and spent the night at a members house. Before we left Alta we decided that we should take an additional 2 hour drive out of the way to go and visit the Nord Kapp!!! For those who do not know what that is... Well it is only The Northern Most Point Of Continental Europe!!!. Sitting at 70° 10' 21"  It was well worth the drive to go an be able to see that, considering the fact I have not done much sightseeing during my mission. It was an fantastic journey going through Mountains and barren lands of snow.  So I hope you all Enjoy the Pictures for this little unexpected journey. and feel free to click on all Nord Kapp links to see more images. 

Thank you for all of your Love and Support!.

Love Elder Strange.

 All the way up there! 

So the Journey begins.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! 

Well this last year has come and gone, it is really really freaky how fast time has just flown by! But this New Year was pretty Awesome!!! The Fireworks were just as Amazing as last year! But much better, because we were right in the city! on the Tromsø Bridge looking at them! it was fantastic!. And on top of that I had a visit from a friend from Ålesund! Christine came on a surprise visit and came Bearing gifts for Elder Johnson and Me. It was fantastic to see her and she gave us Really Amazing Gifts! which will be in the pictures below. It was really nice to have her here. She is a great friend. New Years and Christmas was  Fantastic! I cant believe how fast this time has just flown by.  It is very scary because now I want to hit the rewind button because all this time came to fast! 2 years ago I never thought I would get out of this Mission and Now I'm begging to Stay! and I don't know what has happened but I just know I want to be here in Norway for another year at least! But they are giving me the Boot and saying work Hard until the end. you have 2 months left so give it everything you got Elder Strange... And that's exactly what I am going to do!

Also I just want to say thank you to Everyone for all the Cards and Gifts!!!

I may want to stay here forever! But I truly cant wait to see you all again!

Love your one and only!

Elder Strange.
