President Poulsen gave us permission to travel from our city about a five hour drive south to a town named Mandal, which is the southern most city in Norway, to visit a lady that Elder Humphrey and his companion, Larry Pulsipher, baptized in 1962 while on his first mission to Norway. We called Sister Asbjørg S. Skoie and made an apointment to visit here. The drive was through very spetacular scenery. We arrived and had a very nice visit. This is Elder Humphrey and Sister Skoie in her home.
She served us a very nice meal of Får-i-kål, or lamb and cabbage. This is an authentic Norwegian meal served often in the fall. Sister Skoie sitting at the table just before we began eating. She has a wonderful home which she keeps exceptionally clean, considering that she is legally blind. She is 87 years old and very active for her age. It was a joy to visit with her and renew our friendship.
During this trip it rained. Not just a light drizzel, but very hard and for a long time. We went walking during part of our time. Sister Humphrey in front of a park in Kristiansand.

This is in the area where Elder Humphrey's grandfather, Torlief Knaphus was born and raised. He was named for the area he was born in, which is Knaphus. It is in the Vats area, Vindafjord Kommune, Rogaland county. Behind the trees and down in a little valley is a lake. Grandpa Knaphus painted several pictures of the lake, the mountains and other beautiful scenery in this area.

Enjoyed you last monthly update. What part of the Philippines is your investigator from. My son Logan served his mission in the Cebu Philippines mission and our family traveled to the PI this last March. We loved it there.
May you have success on the remainer of your mission.
