Pastor Clay and I arrived in Trondheim a little after 3:00pm local time (9am Lyncbhurg time) after flying from Washington D.C. to London to Oslo and finally to Trondheim.  We will be meeting up with Tim Sosin, one of our REPC covenant children and missionary here, for a Norwegian-style dinner.  

We are grateful for an uneventful trip over with one particular blessing that averted a travel nightmare.  If you’ve been in Terminal 5 at Heathrow, you know how massive a place that is. I thought our plane to Oslo would be just down the way, since I assumed that the concourse we came in on was the only one in Terminal 5.  I was wrong.  There are three concourses and while we came in on Concourse B, we needed to get to Concourse A.   Well as we deplaned, there was a One World Alliance agent who had been sent to help us get to our gate.  Somebody was looking after us!!! As we were following him down corridors and up and and down elevators and through an other security check, we realized that had it not been for this gentleman, we would surely have missed our connecting flight to Oslo.  It was nice having someone who knew the procedure and the terminal layout who could guide us through, so that we made it to our gate with several minutes to spare.  

Tomorrow, we will be worshipping with Tim in the church he serves in through ABWE.  After worship, we will grab some pizza for lunch and tour Trondheim. What we have already seen of Trondheim on our way in from the airport is that it is a beautiful Scandanavian seaport that is located right on one of the many inlets of the Atlantic.  It is surrounded by towering mountains reminding us of home :-).  The weather here is much milder than I would have thought.  The high was in the mid 40’s today and will be so tomorrow.  I’m hoping to take some pictures tomorrow so I post them, but here is one from the internet that gives you a good shot of the city.
