September 15, 2015Søster Hill5 comments

We are so excited to have Elder Allman (on the right) join our mission. He is from Norway! His mission call is to DSC02103the Ogden Utah Mission but he is waiting for a visa. We are thrilled to have him with us!

On Tuesday we flew to Vienna to join the other Mission Presidents from the Europe Area. We spent a few days with the Area Presidency. We loved the opportunity to be taught by them.

We loved spending time with the other Mission Presidents and wives. We had a great 3 days in beautiful Vienna!

Information about Bodø….. At a latitude of 67 degrees North – in the middle of the magical North – lies Nordland County’s capital Bodø. With its 46.000 inhabitants, Bodø is Northern Norway’s second largest city and one of the fastest growing cities in the country.

Elder and Sister Lemon are serving in Oslo as our YSA leaders. None of the podiums in Norway can be raised or lowered so President Hill asked Elder Lemon if he could design something that he could carry with him to help when he is speaking…..Elder Lemon is a GENIUS!!!!!!

Thank you for creating this blog and letting us all enjoy peeking into the Oslo, Norway mission! Our son Elste Kent Broadbent is currently serving in Arendale. It was so fun to see pictures of President Watson and his wife. He was our stake president and we love him. Also, my dad Dr. Arbon worked with President Hill at UVRMC as well. All these connections make my son seem closer than a half a world away. 🙂 Thank you for all your good work.
