Wella Wella! - Blogabond

I'm in Norway right now, but I'm going to start in London. We got to London on Wednesday morning and met Bro. Jonathan Goodwin and his family. The little boys were soo cute, and the littlest one reminded me of Aidan so much. And we had an English breakfast! Is was delicious. We spent the day with them and we did the London Tower tour. I LOVED the tour. It was totally my thing. They talked about all of the beheadings. (that kind of sounds morbid that it's my thing LOL) The next day Cherie, Jayda, and I went shopping. I bought a skirt for 1 pound (2 dollars) at H&M. I wish we had one in Tn. I would probably spend all of my money there though. Lol! We were taking our time cause our plane wasn't supposed to leave until 7:25. So after we were done shopping it was about 1:30. Then we went to eat at this incredible Indian place. They closed at three and kind of kicked us out which was good because if we would of stayed any later we wouldn't of made our flight to Norway. We started making our way to the train station about four, all the while thinking we had time to kill. So we stopped to get a Starbucks. Oh and while we were walking the oldest boy which is eight kept trying to take Jayda's luggage and gave her a hug goodbye. So we were teasing her about her new "boyfriend". LOL We got to the train station at 4:30 and bought our tickets and they said that we should get to the airport about 6:40. We only thought it would take thirty minutes to an hour on the train. Obviously we didn't have time to kill because that only gave us forty-five minutes to check in at the airport. That's NOT enough time for Stansted! I hate Stansted!! We started out on the train then took the subway and then took another train. It was SO crowded. When we got there it was 6:50 and our plane left at 7:25. We checked in and went through security pretty easily. And as if going through one security isn't enough they make you go through a whole other line just for your shoes! So we are running to get to our gate and we find out that you have to take a train to the gates! At least we were gate six! So now it's 7:23. We get off the train and we all run up two LONG flights of escalators. And we send Jayda ahead to see if they will hold the plane for us but when we got there, there we still a couple of people in line. So we made the flight. The flight was pretty smooth until the landing. It was really foggy and at the end they pulled up to much and then went back down fast so it was a pretty hard landing. So now we are in Norway and enjoying the food. The lady, Ingrid, made homemade, hand-picked blueberry pie. It was incredible! On Friday we had the first service and they had a choir of about twenty people ready with some of the worship songs. And they also had a band that has been working on different stuff. I really felt something when the choir was singing "God Won't Give Up". We are going to have another service tonight so please pray for it. I was going to put pictures up but we don't have the right chord. Sorry. Love you guys!
