People in Tromsø

Sister Humphrey volunteers once a week to serve with the Red Cross for three hours at a center for immigrant ladies and their children. They come together to socialize and learn skills that will help them in Norway. Sister Humphrey sits in on the tutoring sessions in the language to help those who speak English. She also works with the children, keeping them occupied with activities that are interesting and instructive. These are two of the adult ladies, one from Somolia and the other from Iran.
Some of the children. Sister Humphrey taught them how to make paper turkeys before Thanksgiving by tracing their hand on a piece of paper, cutting it out and decorating it. This is what they are doing and showing here.
More of the children at the Red Cross program.
We held an open house at our apartment for Linda Bennett, a member of our church who lives two doors away, on her birthday. From l-r: Linda Bennett, Supacorn Phukpo (a member who is originally from Thialand), Elder Olson, and Åse Svendsen, a college student from Kristiansand, in Southern Norway, who is also a member. This photo is taken just two days before Elder Olson is transferred from Tromsø. He was moved to Kristiansand.
This is also at the open house. All are friends of Linda's who are not members of our church. From l-r: Børe With, Linda Bennett, Astrid Tomstad, Sigrid Tomstad (standing), Julie Terning, Dagfinn Terning.

Elder Humphrey,
Who is the fat guy on the right feeding his face, in that picture?

It isn't you..... Then who is it?
