Last entry for March 2008

On the 26th of March Elder Brian Welch left Tromsø. His time as a missionary was completed except for his exit interview with the mission president and his burning dinner (the final dinner at the mission home, not burnt but because his candle in the land of Norway is burning out it is called a burning dinner). He will be returning to his home in Omaha before the week is over. L-R: Elder Watts, Elder Welch, Sister Humphrey and Elder Humphrey.
On Easter Sunday we had a dinner at our apartment. This is a cake, called a bløtkake, made with cream fruit and frosting. The floral arrangement was very special for Easter Sunday. These were supplied by our neighbor, Linda Bennett and we supplied the ham.
Guests at our Easter dinner. L-R: Elder Welch, Elder Watts, Åge Aspevik, Lill Kristoffersen, Bodil Fredriksen, Linda Bennett, Eveymartine Brogan and Sister Humphrey.
This view is from the main land looking west toward the island of Tromsø. The large ship at the dock is the Hurtigroute ship. It goes to many cities along the west coast of Norway and it takes a week to travel from Bergen to Kirkeness. The latter city is on the border of Norway and Russia.
Looking from Storgata, the main street of downtown Tromsø, up a side street. This is typical buildings for the downtown area of Tromsø. The buildings in the foreground have buisnesses on the ground floor and apartments on the upper floors. The red building and those past it have apartments on all floors.
