Easter week in Norway is quiet. Most Norwegians travel to the country to ski and spend time with family. Schools are closed and many businesses are as well. Missionary work is challenging with so few people around. All stores are closed from Thursday until Tuesday except for shortened hours on Saturday. On Good Friday we celebrated with an Easter dinner at the mission home for those serving nearby. We ate, had a spiritual thought, 2 beautiful music numbers (our missionaries have to sing for their food when they come to the mission home) and played a few games. We spent a wonderful evening together.
The mission home was cozy and full of love for Easter dinner. We fed 20 missionaries and 3 couples. Table for 26!

Thank you for sharing these wonderful photos! What a beautiful way to celebrate the Easter holiday and a historic general conference weekend. Happiness and joy best describe what I see here. The love you share and bring to these young missionaries is very evident!
Thanks for sharing these photos! The photos being emailed home from Elder Cribbs are few and far in between;). From everything that I have seen on this blog and have heard from our son, the Hills are incredible! Thank you for your service and leadership.—Kyle and Melanie Cribbs
