Happy birthday to me - Alison :)

It is already April 20 here in Norway, so we want to be the first ones to wish you a Happy Birthday!!!  It hardly seems possible that it has been 31 years since you entered the world and blessed our family.  Now you continue to bless our family as well as your own and Jeff's plus many others whom you help and influence. April 20 is starting out as a pretty day here, but the clouds are moving in and it will be overcast for a period, but we are hopeful that the sun will come through several times throughout the day.  The weather changes here almost by the minute--sun, rain, cloudy, snow, sun, etc.  We can see it all in a very short period of time.

The airlines are flying again, so missionary transfers will be taking place tomorrow. We will be losing Sis. Engebretsen, which will make us sad, but we will be getting Sis. West, which will make us happy.  I will probably get to make several airport runs tomorrow to deliver and pick up missionaries. In addition to the sisters, Elder Bartholomew will be moving to be a senior companion and we will be getting a new missionary (came to Norway in Feb.)--elder Tedrow. His grandparents are good friends with Doyle and Carolyn Davis (Stephanie's parents). 

We have our district meeting today and then we will be teaching an investigator with the sisters later in the afternoon.  I think mom will be helping Sis Engebretsen pack tonight.

I assume you have seen the blog video of my dip in the Trondheim fjord.  It is not as much fun as diving in the Columbia and swimming to shore. There is no good shore to swim to at this location on the fjord--just a wall.  

We enjoy seeing your pictures and comments on your blog. Your children are growing too fast!! We love to hear Abby talk when we Skype. Hope you are feeling good still and staying healthy.

Here are a couple of photos of mom playing "bump" with the missionaries for P-day yesterday.

love and Happy Birthday.
