This is brother and sister Blank. They are from Chili, have been here in Norway since 1985. We are working with them to become active again. We have met their 14 year old granddaughter, who lives in Bountiful, about five miles from our home. It is interesting that we come all the way to Norway to meet someone who lives five miles from us in Utah. Their granddaughter is a sweet girl.
On June 12, we drove to Stavanger to attend a zone conference. All of the young missionaries, two senior couples, the mission president and his wife and Elder Robert Oaks, European Area President and his wife were in attendance. Here we all are.
Elder Oaks with us at the conference.
We belong to "Sons of Norway," an international organization promoting the Norwegian heritage. We belong to the lodge in Salt Lake City. When we got to Haugesund we found out they have a lodge here so we are going to be participating. Elder Humphrey was asked to take some time and tell about why we are here in Haugesand and his Norwegian heritage. Elder Humphrey was the language instructor for the lodge in Salt Lake for seven years. Of course, Sister Humphrey would start his class and then drop out. That was a big mistake! They are having a celebration party on July 3 and have asked Elder Humphrey to talk about our national holiday. We are looking forward to going to it.
