We are sad/happy today as we said goodbye to our final group of missionaries. This was our 26th transfer since arriving in Norway… plus many, many other random pick ups and drop offs at the airport! We know the Olso airport well! It warms our heart when we welcome missionaries as they arrive fresh from the MTC. I love how…
