First part of Norway trip!

It has been nearly a month since my uncle and I traveled to Norway. It was a wonderful trip. I am still thinking about the different parts of the trip daily and I wanted to share more of the details of the trip here. On a Thursday night my uncle and I excitedly boarded an airplane from Nashville to London. My first time to cross the Atlantic ocean! We arrived in London the next day and took a connecting flight to Oslo. When our plane descended into Oslo the mountains, trees, and green were so beautiful to look at. It was also really nice to see Scandinvanians for the first time in Norway when we walked in the airport. We went to the baggage claim area and waited a while for our baggage to come. My uncle's suitcase arrived but mine did not. I kept looking hoping it would come but it was not there. This threw a big hurdle at the beginning of our trip. We had to stay at the airport for an extra couple of hours to make a report the suitcase was missing. We waited in a long line. It was a stressful situation and my uncle's car rental was cancelled due to it. I highly recommend to pack a carry on suitcase if you travel internationally. God provided. Two very nice sisters helped us a lot during the weekend. We got to stay in an apartment in Oslo on Friday night. I loved my first glimpses into Oslo! 



On Sabbath we drove over to Fyresdal for the Living Water summercamp (campmeeting). It was such a privilege to be with godly, like minded Adventist Norwegians. The theme was "Almost Home". The focus of the event was being prepared for heaven. Speaking of heaven the nature at the event was a taste of heaven. It was so beautiful there. 



The summercamp was evangelistic focused and they had an baptism on Sabbath afternoon. In the picture below you will see a picture of a girl preparing for baptism.

My Favorite things!

Yesterday while I was driving during work I started singing "My Favorite Things" from The Sound of Music. The main line on the song says "I simply remember my favorite things" for when one feels down. It clicked with me about how the writers of the song knew a good approach for mental health and redirecting thoughts to positive thoughts. We often encourage this in behavioral health. On a spiritual note the Bible says, "if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things." Philippians 4:8
