I am not sure why I am so far behind on up dating our blog but we have been busy with missionary work and branch work. We are also in charge of the opening activity for Seminary and Institute in Iceland which is tomorrow. I think we have it all together now so we can relax a little. We never know how many people will actually show up so we took a different approach on the food this time. For the closing activity in May we were told 50 people would come and we prepared more than enough food in case more showed up. We didn´t have 50 and we had food left over. So this time we decided to wait until just before it is time to eat, count how many we have to feed and go get pizza and bread sticks. We had one of our young ladies take us to 3 pizza places to find the best prices and then in the next post you will see how we tried out the pizza from the least expensive place. Based on the numbers projected we will be far enough under budget we could have another 10 people surprise us and still have money to cover it.
Any way the pictures are from last Saturday´s Flower Days closing celebration in Hveragerði. The flowers are not looking so good as the weather has turned cold but they make up with it by the local ice cream company serving free samples of the various ice creams they make. I will say we have actually seen very few of these in the stores. One is rather surprising sounding - Tuna-fish. There was also rhubarb which was one of my favorite because you could actually taste a distinct difference as the others all tasted similar. Never did taste the Tuna-fish as the crowd was almost too much and after getting ice cream on my suit I decided to get out of the way. The young man (17) with the young lady is one of our great members. He is German/Icelandic and speaks German, Danish, Icelandic and English.
