District Conference in Tromsø and a Birthday…

May 31, 2016Søster Hill2 comments

We traveled to Tromsø on Saturday for a District Conference. The Northern branches are the responsibility of the mission. We love the faithful members who travel many miles to attend these meetings. We left the rainy weather in Olso and enjoyed perfect weather in Tromsø.  Tromsø was ranked in the Worlds Top 20 Small Towns….it was #3. It’s population is 72,000. It’s nickname is “The Paris of the Nordics” because of many great resturants and an active nightlife. The sun never sets in Tromsø in the summer. We were grateful for blackout shades and a quiet hotel. It was a great weekend in the North.

Sister Cockrell and Sister Newell with the watermelon! As we walked to  church for our meetings, I saw a huge watermelon at a market nearby. I have only seen small watermelons in Norway, about the size of a very small basketball. I LOVE watermelon and I could not stop thinking about it…..so I ran down the street and bought it right before our meeting started (Saturday night). It wasn’t perfect but it was close! I miss those Costco sized/priced watermelons! This one was $21 but it fed everyone there!!!
