The last Sunday in January we woke up to about eight new inches of powdery snow. We tried to get out of our apartment complex but got stuck. We called Jørn Lomax, a member who lives close by, to help us get out of the snow. He tried to back down to our car and he got stuck. Here am I, Jørn's wife, Britannia and her sister, Christine pushing his car as he tries to get out of the snow. We, with the help of some other people, finally got us both out and got to church just in time for Sacrament Meeting, but not in time for the first meeting we were supposed to have. Life above the Arctic Circle.
Relief Society Enrichment dinner. The first social held in our new Branch meeting location. Left to right: Åse Svendsen, Viliyana Antasova, Sister Humphrey, Evey-Martine Brogan, Åshild Ulriksen.
Another view of the Enrichment luncheon with a late arrival, Eliane, third from the right.
Sister Humphrey and one of her boys that she helps with English at the Red Cross help center for immigrants. She does this three hours one day a week. While she is at this location, Elder Humphrey is helping with adult immigrants at the city library. The adults have to take language, Norwegian history, math and other classes, paid for by the government, so that they can be knowledgable about life in Norway. Everyone who immigrates to Norway must learn Norwegian.
We hold Institute classes on Thursday evenings. Here Viliyana, Evey-Martine and Elder Welch are acting out a Book of Mormon story that they used as an object lesson one evening. Others were in the action story, but not in the picture.
