New Year’s Day and New arrivals!

January 5, 2018Søster Hill2 comments

We welcomed 2018 by inviting the missionaries from Drammen, Sandvika, Oslo, and Romerike to the mission home. They enjoyed our version of Cafe Rio salads and played games. We introduced them to “Charlie,” a simple game our family has played for years. It was a wonderful day of food and fun!

Playing CHARLIE…

Sister Bergquist and Sister Robinson…..Sister Robinson stayed up a little too late on New Year’s Eve!

Pictionary….Elder Applegate is a wonderful musician. The category was “church hymns” and the song was “I Stand All Amazed.” Sister Richards is also a wonderful musician and guessed it correctly within a few seconds….The rest of us were AMAZED at their quick thinking!

Happy New Year from 1/5 th of the missionaries in our mission….Welcome 2018!

Welcome to Norway!

We were thrilled to welcome this group of wonderful missionaries on January 2nd. Because of the winter holidays they spent Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years in the MTC….7 weeks! Needless to say, they were so excited to finally be in Norway!

Elder Ashby has been serving in the office with us for 6 months! It looks like we totally wore him out!

They have been practicing this so they would get it right….Elder Cole, Elder Wakefield, and Elder Ashby!

Our new missionaries waiting to find out their first area!

And…the waiting is over!

Elder Ashby is off on a new adventure. He is excited to go North to Tromsø!

We dropped them at the train station. They took the FLYTOGET to the airport with the assistants…. 24 hours after arriving in Norway they were back at the airport and off to their first areas!
