We had an exciting week welcoming these new missionaries to Norway! They are an amazing group and we are so grateful that they are here! There were miracles that happened to those who traveled and for us as we waited for their arrival. Their first flight from SLC to Dallas was cancelled and they were split into groups and placed…
What a blessing it has been to know these missionaries. We were able to spend their first 6 weeks in the MTC as their Branch President and now we shared one transfer in Norway! They came to the mission home on Wednesday afternoon. We had dinner and a testimony meeting with them and then….off to the airport at 5:00 a.m….
We had a great day with the leadership of our mission! This meeting is held once a month. It involves the AP’s, zone leaders and sister training leaders. We are taught, we share, and we plan and prepare for the month ahead. Here are some pictures from the day!
I thought I’d share some pictures of our family. They live in Dallas Texas, Logan Utah, Nampa Idaho, Lehi Utah, Farmington Utah, Denver Colorado, and London! We are grateful for their love and support! We miss them like crazy!

Thursday 7/30 we celebrated 1 month in Norway! What an adventure it has been. We had a wonderful…busy…amazing…and uplifting week. Monday…Shopping for groceries in Sweden! Tuesday… we visited these great missionaries at their district meeting in Fredrikstad… Wednesday… This great family was baptized!

Friday 7.24.15 We loved our drive to Sarpsborg today. It is South from Oslo (90 minutes) towards the Swedish boarder. We passed mile after mile of the most beautiful farms. President Hill had a baptismal interview with a darling couple and one of their daughters. We are going back next week for the baptism. We spent the afternoon with Sister…
We are excited for these great missionaries who we dropped off at the airport this morning! Elder Hinton – Elder Reber – Elder Drage and our AP’s Elder Duncan and Elder Parkinson.
Saturday we flew to Tromsø. We had perfect weather which is a bit unusual there. It is one of the destinations of many cruise ships and The Hurtigruten ships on their journey up and down the Norwegian coastline. We have a small branch there with 2 sister missionaries and a wonderful couple. We spent a wonderful few days with the Crabtree’s and Sister…
