We had a busy but wonderful week. We spent the weekend in Alta for branch conference. These missionaries are the most northern serving missionaries in the world. We were able to take Elder Beck and Elder Miller to dinner and celebrated Elder Becks birthday!
We met our daughter Kelsey and son in law Wes in Bergen for a few days. I did some sightseeing with them while President Hill met with the missionaries. We took the train to Oslo on a clear and sunny day which was lots of fun. We were able to share the beautiful sights of Norway with our visitors but the very best part was having sweet baby Ila Mae in our home.
Vegeland Park in Oslo.
We also held our Mission Leadership meeting on Wednesday in Oslo. We have many new missionaries in leadership positions and we loved the energy they brought.
Elder Mitchell and Elder Love…
Sisters…
I asked them to put their heads closer together….. 🙂
They take directions well….
Elders…..I am not quite sure about the face plant…
Sunday we attended church in Oslo and then we had the Sandvika/Asker Missionaries for dinner. They came prepared to share a beautiful musical number. We love having missionaries in our home!
Ila loved the sisters and thought she fit right in….
Elder Sanchez, Elder Applegate, Sister Love, Sister Blankmeyer, Sister Petersen.
We are so grateful for our wonderful family. We love our children and grandchildren and we love when they visit. We have now met the 2 newest grand children born since we came to Norway. We are so grateful for our forever family!

I love the last picture of you with Ila! Looks like a near perfect week!
I LOVE this blog!! Thank you for so dutifully sharing your weekly adventures. Your pictures are beautiful and capture the smiles [and antics :)] of everyone so well. I loved seeing that my son arrived safely a few weeks ago. He wrote home that he was so happy, and these pictures (and the ones from the previous week) prove it. Thanks for your service and for all the service of the senior missionaries in taking care of our missionaries as we trust them in your hands for a time. I look forward to following this blog.
I love seeing all these happy faces. It lifts me up.
I love this blog too! Thank you for taking the time to put this all together <3
