Christmas Zone Conference Day 1 ….

December 9, 2016Søster Hill3 comments

First….I have a few random pictures that I wanted to share.

This was our 2nd turkey dinner on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. Our son Chad came from London and did not arrive until late Thursday night so we had a few missionaries and friends over to celebrate again!

Sister Brostrom, Sister Hill #2 and I made a quick trip to Sweden to buy the food for Zone Conferences. It was December 1st which was Sister Brostrom’s birthday! This was our attempt at a selfie 🙂

The two stakes in Norway host a wonderful Christmas concert every year. It is called Jul i toner. Elder Applegate and Elder Kemp participated in it this year. These are some of our wonderful missionaries putting away the chairs after the concert was over.

And…This week we hosted two zone conferences in Oslo. This was the first, held on Tuesday for the West and the Telemark Zones…..

The main decorator was Sister Hill #2. The cultural hall looked very festive! We appreciate all the help with the food preparation by the senior couples…. especially Sister Brostrom and our new friend Elizabeth. It was a great day!

And President Hill and I finished the day by meeting for a few hours with these awesome missionaries who will complete their missions next week. It was fun to be with them for pizza, Brus and some good conversation about life after the mission.
