People in Haugesund

The second Enrichment meeting held in our branch since we have been here. Shown here are (l-r): Heather Pettersen, Ingebjørg Warvik (Relief Society President) and Kari Steinsvik (daughter of Heather Pettersen). This meeting was held in the home of Reidun Solmunde, a member of our branch.
Home evening held in the apartment of Sigmund A. A. Breivik. Shown are (clockwise from top) Heather Pettersen, Sister Humphrey, Valeriy Nyfantov (from Russia), Gunnar Rustad and Sigmund Breivik (with back to camera).
Me with Thor Tollaksen, our landlord. He owns the home we live in. We live on the second floor, and he has the first floor. His wife passed away about three years ago and he has not done much to the interior since she died. He has a second home about twenty minutes south of Haugesund that over looks an arm of the ocean. He lives in this second home ninty five percent of the time. This home is on the top of the hill with a garden, enclosed on two sides patio with a fire place, two cottages next to the fjord for his children and grandchildren and many other ammenities. His boat is docked at his property.
A couple that at the present time live in our branch, Pierre Magre and his wife, Irene. They are from France. She is a doctor and she works in Bergen, so they are moving there in November. He is retired and works two to three hours a day on geneology.
After a "Linger Longer" at the church we of course have to do dishes. L - r: Valeriy Nyfantov, Dado Emana, Kari Steinsvik, Elder Humphrey.
