December ZC

December 17, 2017Søster Hill11 comments

The Norway Oslo Mission Christmas Zone Conferences were held on December 5th and 6th in Oslo with half of the mission attending each day. Both mornings President Hill spoke about “A Mighty Change of Heart.” He told of his first mission to Norway and the valuable lessons he learned about the true meaning of Christmas. Brother Weggersen from Drammen shared a great new contacting approach that really has been effective with our missionaires. We had a wonderful lunch with meatballs, turkey, stuffing, Christmas coleslaw, baked potatoes, and rolls. Dessert was hot fudge sundaes with delicious cookies made by the senior sisters.

After lunch we enjoyed a variety of musical numbers from some of our missionaries. We then divided the missionaries into small groups and watched as they performed very creative “skits in a bag!” We ended the afternoon with a picture slide show of our missionaries, including baby pictures. They loved trying to guess the which missionary was in the picture. The senior missionaries sang our own version of “White Christmas” and a special visitor arrived to everyone’s delight!

Find your missionary!

Elder Torgerson does not like having his picture taken! He usually turns around or hides behind someone. I love this picture!

Clearing the driveway at 8:30 a.m.

President Hill and Elder and Sister Gormely arriving for ZC….. I love the ivy wall accross the street from the Hekkveien Church. It is beautiful every season of the year, especially after an overnight dusting of snow.

Day 2!

Marielle Waal was our chef for the conference and Elder Cole is always willing to help in the kitchen….

Proof that no one starved!

They all look great! Thank you so much for the pictures and for taking care of them. Funny how a picture of the side of your son’s head means so much when you’re 4000 miles apart! ?

The picture of dad in the Santa suit should have gone in your Christmas card!

Thank you so much for sharing! Also for feeding them and all the work that goes into the festivities. I’m sure they all loved the slide show–but jolly old Santa Clause is the cherry on top! President Hill, you are the best! (I’m sure Sister Hill made you do it right! LOL) It is so nice for us as parents to see the kids celebrating the holidays and enjoying time together. We miss them all terribly, thanks for loving them while in Norway! Merry Christmas!!

Now there is the real Santa Claus. The food looks so yummy and Parker looks so happy and well taken care of. That makes his grandma very happy. He is so cute too. We love him so much.
