We were invited to a Thanksgiving Day dinner at the Branch in Bergen, Norways second largest city that is three hours north of us. We accepted the invitation. This is one of the largest branches in the mission and they went all out to make this a special occasion. There were ten turkey's that members roasted and we had all of the trimmings, including two kinds of cranberry sauce, stuffing, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes. However there was no pumpkin pie. Elder Humphrey didn't miss that, as he doesn't like it anyway.
Sister Lewis, one of the sister missionaries in Bergen putting one of the turkey's on the table. The young missionaries did and extra amount of service helping get the feast ready and then cleaning up afterwards. Elder Humphrey served in Bergen as a young missionary and he was able to visit with some of the old time members that remembered him.
On the trip between Haugesund and Bergen you have to cross a fjord on a ferry boat. Trucks, busses and cars drive onto the ferry. This is from the upper area where people go to get something to eat, read or just relax while on the ferry. Notice the trucks and cars below. We had just left the dock and were on our way out to the main channel. This ride on the ferry takes about forty minutes.
Our Relief Society has begun holding monthly activity or Enrichment nights. These are the sisters that came to the last one in November. They learned how to make fancy open faced sandwiches and finished up knitting things that they started in the October meeting.
A picture of the fancy open faced sandwiches (smørbrød) that were made that night. Of course after they were made they had to be eaten, with some soup and a nice drink of punch. Elder Humphrey is glad that there were a few left over that Sister Humphrey could take home with her.
