I BERGEN! YAY!
SooOOooOoOooOoOOOooo it is winter break now. Pretty lame idea in my opinion. We have only 6 weeks left at Hedmarktoppen, and here we are on winter break....away from each other....being lame. But I am having adventures in Bergen, so that is good.
This week went by fast. Packing to get ready for the break and the mission. Everyone is going right from winter break to their missions trips with their class. This made packing very stressful for me. Packing for a month for two different climates, yet wanting to pack lightly since i do not wanna be dragging some giant suit case around mexico with me. STRESS it was. My last night at Toppen I had a nightmare about packing. I would put all my stuff in the small bag I wanted to use, but it was too small. So I would put everything in the big bag that I didn't want to use, but it was too big. I would wake up in the night with my heart beating fast from stress. Kinda silly, I know.
Plus the idea of leaving everyone for a month. Ufda! Yeah I will be with people from my class, and that will be great...but I miss them now while I am on winter break. SO MANY PEOPLE TO MISS! I also realized that when I am not with some specific people from Hedmarktoppen, that I miss MN more. My friends have become my coping device for dealing with missing Tom. So when I miss them, I miss him even more. Not good. =P
But here in Bergen as been pretty fun so far. Though I have been ridiculously tired. You see, we have been going to a conference called Radiance at a church that a bunch of people from Toppen go to. But it has been very tiring, trying to understand the Bergen dialect (which is super hard) and like not knowing anybody and being there all day long. So I never really got a chance to recover from the stress of leaving school. So I was so tired the whole time, it was kinda hard to fully enjoy myself. It was still super fun, but it would have been better if I had more energy. Still glad i went. There was one speaker fro Australia, so i understood him. ^_^ It was all really well done. The worship songs were all songs that were written at the church. That was pretty cool. I feel like that is becoming more and more common...well amongst churches that are bigger at least. Pretty cool stuff.

I have been staying with my friend Lars Endre and his parents. They are super nice (his dad is adorably norwegian) and it has been really great staying here. Today I will go to Kristine's and stay there until Friday. Yay for hospitality!
Well that's all for this week. Please pray for the missions trips! For safety, a lack of stress, and most of all that God would move in the hearts of everyone involved.
LOVE YOU ALL!
