Welcome to Norway!

October 14, 2017Søster Hill17 comments

We love when new missionaries arrive in Norway. This week we welcomed 10 elders and 4 sisters to our mission. They are well prepared and ready to serve.

The Assistants waiting at the airport for our new missionaries…Elder Cole, Elder Ashby and Elder Arveseth…

Here they are!! We are always so happy to see them and they are always so happy to finally be in Norway!

Dinner at the mission home…

Our welcome fireside….singing “We’ll Bring the World His Truth!”

Always fun to watch the reactions as they find out their first area of service!

Sister Tew is going to Ålesund and her new companion Sister Ogeltree just happened to be at the mission home helping us with transfers. She was able to give her a welcome hug!

They are excited to proclaim the Gospel as they serve “far and wide” in Norway!

Sending e mails home to tell of their safe arrival…

 

Breakfast…

A wonderful group of sisters…

and a fun group of elders….ready to serve!

Elder Cole and Elder Ashby on the grill….

A final goodbye to their wonderful MTC group ….

One last hug as they prepare to leave the mission home…

Sister Madsen is off to the train station…

Taking out the trash!

A little help cleaning up! Our kitchen was recently remodelled and we are thrilled with the outcome!

And they are off! They were so excited! We are truly blessed to be able to serve with these wonderful missionaries.

What a wonderful looking group of missionaries. I might have also noticed a beautiful flag quilt in the background. I’m so glad it is being used! Also, what a spectacular “new” kitchen!!

I decided to hang the quilt and I love it! It adds so much to the room and a perfect backdrop for pictures!
Thank you again!

We so appreciate the pictures of the final party before they split! Looks like they are full of life ready to get out there and work. Thank you so much for feeding them and getting them on their feet after the long travel day. Love the kitchen remodel! Seeing all their happy faces made us super grateful for you and your love and care! Hugs! Rial and Darci Chew (Eldste Kaylor Chew)
