November

Wow! It is hard to believe that it is November already.  We have had a wonderful time in October and look for November to be better yet. We are traveling to Mo I Rana again this Saturday, so will not be available on Skype on Sunday afternoon, as we will be traveling back home Sunday night. The church services there are over at 1 p.m. so we are catching a 3:30 p.m. train which arrives in Trondheim around 10:20 p.m.  We are taking the sister missionaries wiht us this time. After being there last month and seeing the makeup of the branch (mostly older women) mom thought they needed the spark that these two sisters can bring. So when we were at zone conference last week, I asked the Presdident about taking them and he thought that would be a great idea. They were excited when I asked them if they would like to accompany us on the trip--even after I told them that I had told the BP that they would be happy to speak in church and that they could sing a special musical number if he wanted.  We will arrive there around 2:30 on Saturday and spend several hours visiting members and some investigators the elders were working with when they were moved from there.  I won't have to take so many pictures on the trip this time, as the tracks are in the same place they were last month--however, the scenery may have changed with the changing of the weather.  It is windy out this morning and that is good, because it means there is no ice on the car windows.  We have several appointments with less active members throughout the week, so we will be doing a bit of driving to make these visits, but we enjoy the time we spend with the people. We heard yesterday that one of our YSA young women will be moving back to Trondheim soon, so that is good news. She was very active and lots of fun, so she encourages others. The attached photo is from a "movie and waffle night" we held on Saturday (Halloween). The movie was "Joseph Smith, Prophet of the Restoration" and afterward we all enjoyed some norwegian waffles, some provided by members, others cooked by one of the YSA girls and me. The other photo is of mom standing near the nid river which runs through the middle of town. the colors are beautiful this time of year, but the leaves are mostly gone now.

Love,

mom and dad
