Do you remember?

• The lodge near Hønefoss where we were suppose to learn Norwegian but learned a lot about each other instead?
• Being incredibly tired, so tired that you ached because you were trying so hard to understand the language?
• Realizing you understood what was said, without translating it in your head?
• Your first dream in Norwegian?
• Learning to drink (and like) coffee?
• Lutefisk and Julecake?
• The train to Bergen?
• The sadness you felt as you flew home, and the excitement of returning all mixed together?

These are just some of the fond memories I have! I am Sarah Cofer but I was Sarah Williver then. I was spoiled-rotten American student who thought she knew it all. Norway taught me so many things about myself and about others! I remember the good things, the hard things, and the life changing things about my trip to Norway. I remember vowing to never loose contact, but have with many of my fellow YFU-ers. I am volunteering to be the class contact because I care what is happening in the lives of each of us.

I am trying to put together a reunion of sorts (that would be twenty years, folks)in the summer of 2005. Let me know if you are interested, or want to help, or have any ideas!
