People and fall scenery

Every month we travel to the city of Stavanger, about fifty miles (78 km.) south of Haugesund to attend Zone conference. Elders and Sisters from Bergen, Haugesund (us), Stavanger, Kristiandsand, and Arendal come together with the mission president and his wife for training. This is just before the conference started. Sister Poulsen always brings banana bread for people to eat before the conference begins. Yum.
The week before zone conference, Elders Kerr and Phillips baptized a couple from Ghana. They invited us to attend and we went to the baptism. A very spiritual experience. They are friends of a man that he baptized a month before.
We took a trip about 40 km out of Haugesund to visit people and took several photos of the fall colors. This is a well with a plant covered roof that has turned because of the fall weather. Overlooking Grindefjord.


Looking out the window of our apartment at some of the bushes that are changing colors. By the time you read this the leaves have all fallen off of several of the trees and bushes in this photo.



Another view outside of our apartment. The colors didn't show up as well in the photo as they really were this day. The mountain side behind the big apartment buildings was bright red, as were several of the trees in front of these buildings.
