We were thrilled to have the sisters together in Oslo for a conference this week. Our theme was “Be of good courage and the Lord will strengthen thy heart.”
We had lots of help from the senior couples. Our speakers were wonderful! Our classes were taught by both members and senior missionaries. A special thanks to them all! After 36 hours together it was hard to say to say good bye. Our mission has awesome sisters, and we are grateful for the sweet relationships they have with each other and with the members in Norway.

Thank you Sister Hill!!!
What a wonderful time. It looks like a fun, spiritual, and informative event. The Sisters all look so Happy! Thank you!! You are truly blessing many!
Thank you again for amazing pictures!! Love seeing how happy they are! And…what a great conference!! So grateful for all the things my daughter is learning while on her mission!
Thank you so much for the extra pictures. We are serving in the Frankfurt, German mission at the same time our Kayley is serving there with you in Norway. It thrills us to hear how much she loves her mission and the missionaries she serves with and her dear Mission President and his wife. Your blog here is such a wonderful extra “touch point” for families back home (and here). I know it takes time to do it but we all so very much appreciate it. Thank you again.
