Uke 46: A Koselig Little Town

Last P-day we did a cool hike in Talvik, the nearest "town" outside of Alta. We almost got blown off the mountain by the wind but the view was beautiful! Last week I mentioned that our car was having some issues so we have been using the busses. The hike took longer than we expected and we missed our bus back and got to wait 2 hours for the next one (: we're taking the car in to get it fixed tomorrow so that will be nice 🙏

One thing that has been nice about our bus card we got is that it covers all the busses and some boats up here so we got to take a boat ride up the fjord to Hammerfest! So that was awesome and I can now say I have been to the northernmost city in the world. We checked out the museum there and saw lots of stuffed polar bears and stuff like that, and my companion joined a cult called the Royal and Ancient Polar Bear Society. We had a couple people up there we wanted to visit, but we ended up just getting to visit Stig, a bro from the Netherlands. He took us to Peppe's Pizza and said he would come to church soon! Hammerfest was a koselig little town🐊

We didn't have much else super exciting happen this week, we had a few people to teach but mostly we just spent a lot of time calling and trying to set up appointments with people. But here's one last highlight: I had the littest disko party of my life this week! Geir wrote a song about hiking his favorite mountain, and it was actually pretty lit and we were all super pumped and Geir tried to kick a football out of his window into the pond!

Alta is the best! I hope yall are having a good time wherever you are, HA DET BRA DOKKER!
