A few weeks ago we had our daughter and son in law visit for a few days. It is so much fun to be able to see them and share a little taste of our mission life. We are getting really good at showing visitors Oslo in 2 days! Norway never disappoints! This was our busy Zone Conference week. We…
Oslo Stake Conference was held this weekend. The meetings were wonderful, and missionaries from the Oslo, Sandvika, Romerike, and Fredrikstad Districts were in attendance. Don’t they look great? Elder Witbeck finished his mission this week. We had a problem with his visa renewal and it was determined it would be best to send him home a few weeks early. He…
It was another busy week in our mission. We were excited to welcome 5 new missionaries from the MTC and a Norwegian missionary who is waiting for a visa. It is always a treat to see their smiling faces as they arrive at the airport on time with all their luggage! The Sisters spent the night at the mission home…

These 4 sisters extended for 4 weeks. It was wonderful to have them help with the new sisters that arrived on the last transfer. We are grateful for their service in Norway! We love them and will miss them…

Most restaurants and stores are closed from Thursday before Easter until the Tuesday after. It was a wonderful opportunity to enjoy time with our family and missionaries. We had a pizza party with the Brostrom’s and Lemon’s…
Last week we traveled to Stavanger, Oslo and Drammen for Zone Conference. Our conference in the North had to be moved to next week. Easter Holiday travel is big in Norway and we could not find plane tickets to get our missionaries to Trondheim. I will add those pictures later. Vestlandet Zone… …
