Super Weekend

Elder Humphrey dressed for winter (we had just come into our meeting house) in the Branch President's office.
We invited the Elder's over for dinner, cake and ice cream on Elder Watts' birthday. We also invited some members over, Linda Bennett and Evey-Martine Brogan.
Because both Elder Watts and Evey-Martine are from England they enjoy talking with each other. L-R: Elder Brian Welch, Elder Guy Watts, Sister Humphrey, Linda Bennett, Evey-Martine Brogan.
This past weekend we had a youth conference for the branches of our church in northern Norway. The youth and their leaders from Alta, Narvik and Tromsø were in attendence. This is a photo of several youth and leaders playing a hot game of Phase 10 while we waited for everyone to arrive. L-R: Viliyana, Tova Nyman (behind Viliyana), Ingeborg
Nyman, Christine Peterson, Per Ole Nyman and Elder Humphrey. Viliyana, Christine and Elder Humphrey are from Tromsø and the Nyman's are from Narvik.
As part of the youth conference we did a Saturday morning service project. We all went to the Red Cross house and cleaned, prepared for painting, sorting through old storage items. They are restoring their building and asked us for help. A good time was had by all and the Red Cross (Røde Kors) was very happy for the help
In the afternoon on Saturday we went bowling. There is one bowling alley in Tromsø and some of the people at the youth conference had never been bowling before. Later that day we had a pizza fest and a bon fire marsmellow roast in the snow. The next day we had a breakfast and then held church services for them and the Tromsø branch. Many of the youth and leaders spoke and bore their testimonies. It was a great youth conference.
