One of the families in our branch got a nanny from the Phillipine Islands this fall, Glory May. She will be taking Norwegian language classes sponsered by the government later but wanted to get a head start on the language. Elder Humphrey agreed to tutor her in Norwegian. And now she has asked us to tell her about our church.

This is the usuall Primary in our branch of our church. From l-r:
Matias (10), Lars (6), Johannas (4), and Georg (8). Sometimes there are visitors. Sister Humphrey has had up to 11 come into Primary.

Brother Gunnar Rustad is an extra ordinary man in our branch. He is 81 years old, holds two callings and is very energetic. He has been a member for 42 years, but his wife and children will not have anything to do with religion. He and his wife asked us if they could take us on a tour of some of the places where they had lived in their lives. To build a relationship with her we aggreed, thinking we would be gone about four hours. The next three photo's were taken during our twelve hour journey. This is Fonefjos, a majestic water fall that emptys into an arm of Hardangerfjord.

The turn around point of our journey was a farm high up on a mountain over looking Eidsfjord, at the end of Hardangerfjord. Spectacular view.

All along the roadway, between the fjord and the mountains are fruit farms. They are famous in all of Europe for there fruit. This is a cherry orchard. Large plastic sheets are put over the cherry trees to keep the birds out. The sun gets in but the birds cannot. These plastic sheets are a net material so air circulates in.
