I found out I would be moving on monday so I spent some time saying goodbye to some of my favorite people in Hamar! On Tuesday, we had lunch Åse and Knut, a super old and koselig couple in the church, and then we played soccer for the rest of the day with David and the Stenbæk boys! It was hard leaving Hamar and all the awesome people I met there but I'm up on top here in Alta now! This place is amazing! We live in the attic of the members' house. I say the members' house because all 5 of the active members in Alta live there. It's pretty chill, very koselig.
For our morning exercise one day this week, we woke up a little early and hiked a nearby mountain. There are a lot of mountains here, and that is a nice change from Hamar. I loved it there but this is pretty henting awesome. And it hasn't gotten too cold yet either. Its definitely colder and rainier than Hamar was but I havent had to break out the coat yet.
My new companion is Elder Memmott from Utah, we have been getting along super well so far, it's been fun, and we both love being in Alta!
One of the biggest highlights of Alta is Geir! We had our first disko this morning and it was a party! Geir is autistic but he loves 70s music and having disko parties. He wrote a song to the tune of the Swedish song "Öppna din dör" about him hiking his favorite mountain. He calls the song "Opp på mitt fjell" After that, we sang his version of ABBA's gimme gimme gimme which is about having a fun disko party with the missionaries. Missionaries have been living in Linnea's attic for longer than I have been alive so Geir is pretty tight with the missionaries.
Alta is awesome! I hope yall have a good week, ha det bra!
