We spent the weekend in Bodø for District Conference. It was wonderful to spend time with our missionaries and members there.

We had a middag on Saturday night. This was delicious!

We love transfer week! It is fun to greet our new missionaries at the airport and see the excitement on thier faces as they realize  they have finally made it to Norway! We love these 3 Elders already and enjoyed spending 20 hours with them before sending them off to their first areas.

A few hours later we welcomed these 3 great missionaries to the mission home for their departure dinner. Elder Gingrich, Elder Bunnell, and Elder Phipps have finished their service in Norway!

Elder Bunnell is known throughout Norway by members and missionaries for his wonderful talent! He made us this reindeer origami. Pretty amazing!

How wonderful it is to see their happy smiling faces! And the sky is blue and the sun is shining 🙂 Norway is so lucky to have them serve there. I bet Elder Collett was super surprised and tremendously excited when he learned of his first area. We sure are. I need to get some referrals sent his way. I appreciate being able to follow my missionary through this blog. Tusen hjertlig takk!

Thank you for you blog! I love reading about all the happenings there in Norway. Thank you also for the love and care you give all the missionaries. They are in good hands.

So nice to see pictures of Elder Broadbent! If he gets out of line, send him to Sister Brostrom. 🙂
