We are so excited to have Elder Allman (on the right) join our mission. He is from Norway! His mission call is to 
the Ogden Utah Mission but he is waiting for a visa. We are thrilled to have him with us!
On Tuesday we flew to Vienna to join the other Mission Presidents from the Europe Area. We spent a few days with the Area Presidency. We loved the opportunity to be taught by them.
We loved spending time with the other Mission Presidents and wives. We had a great 3 days in beautiful Vienna!
The Watson’s are serving in Finland. Tracy and Wayne were colleagues at the hospital for many years.
These men were all employed by IHC. The Beckstrand’s are in Sweden and the Watson’s are in Finland.
The Heder’s are serving in Greece. Watch for their son playing BYU football!
On the right are the O’Bryant’s form Denmark. On the left the Babin’s from Paris and in the back are the Preston’s from the England MTC.
We were able to listen to some beautiful Viennese music and watch a little ball room dancing!
We arrived home late Friday night packed a new bag a flew to Bodø on Saturday morning. It was an amazing fall day! Enjoy the pictures below. Some are from the afternoon on Saturday and some Tracy took at sunset on Saturday night.
Information about Bodø….. At a latitude of 67 degrees North – in the middle of the magical North – lies Nordland County’s capital Bodø. With its 46.000 inhabitants, Bodø is Northern Norway’s second largest city and one of the fastest growing cities in the country.
I saw this great reminder on my walk to church!
Elder and Sister Lemon are serving in Oslo as our YSA leaders. None of the podiums in Norway can be raised or lowered so President Hill asked Elder Lemon if he could design something that he could carry with him to help when he is speaking…..Elder Lemon is a GENIUS!!!!!!
And it fits in his briefcase!
There is always a puzzle out in Bodø!
I was on face time attending our daughters baby shower in Lehi Utah 🙂 I gave President Hill my camera and he went up to the roof and took some pictures! Such a pretty place!
Morning sky!
Some of the great members who attended the conference in Bodø. Some had come 7 hours by ferry and car.
Sister Allen and Sister Hudson!
The church building in Bodø.
The view from the airport window. Pretty amazing!
When we arrived home we had a variety of mushrooms growing in our yard! It rains a lot in Norway!

LOVE the portable podium idea!! Hurrah for alligator clips, rubber bands and cardboard!
I love reading every blog and seeing the photos. Thank you! The podium is really creative!
I love the cardboard solution! Amazing pictures. Love you!
Brother Lemon should maybe change his name to Brother MacGyver! 😉
Thank you for creating this blog and letting us all enjoy peeking into the Oslo, Norway mission! Our son Elste Kent Broadbent is currently serving in Arendale. It was so fun to see pictures of President Watson and his wife. He was our stake president and we love him. Also, my dad Dr. Arbon worked with President Hill at UVRMC as well. All these connections make my son seem closer than a half a world away. 🙂 Thank you for all your good work.
