Officially in Sweden!

Yesterday we were sad to leave our friends in new jersey. We had a great time even though it was short. We will be back there sometime in the near future....so we look forward to that...we arrived at the airport with 20 minutes to spare. We rode a double decker plane. A lot of people stared at us because of our badges..and some people that worked at the airlines would tell us they were brothers and sisters. Hopefully we were able to give a good witness. We arrived in Paris...not an easy airport. Haha. But half our plane was full of brothers and sisters, so that was nice. We arrived in Sweden and were met by brothers and sisters to help us find the right buses to our hotel. We walked outside to a group of brothers and sisters singing kingdom songs in swedish and then In English. It was pretty amazing. We arrived at our hotel and signed up for the tours we wanted to take. We were met by 2 sisters there too that helped us with information. We were hungry after we got to our room so we went to this pizza place around the corner...they gave us a pizza and apparently they don't cut their pizza into slices. Everyone just tears off a piece. But the waiter saw us cutting some into pieces so he was nice enough to come over and cut it for us but he said they don't normally do that. We have not gotten sleep in 24 hours so we are going to bed for the night. :) hado (that is bye in swedish, and not sure if that is how you spell it)

    3. Tearing pizza sounds like it would be a pain, I just imagine trying to tear a piece off and pulling all the cheese with the first tear...
