On the 19th of November we held our monthly Zone Conference in Stavanger. We will be having a moves day on the fourth of December so this was the last time many of us will see each other in Norway. So we took a group photo, and thanks to photo shop, everyone is smiling and looking great. Thanks Elder Holst (seen on the far left). We are next to Elder Holst and President and Sister Poulsen are on the far right.
Elder Hess' mother crotcheted wreath Christmas decorations for each missionary in Norway. We received them at our Zone Conference. This is Elder Hess holding up one of the ornements. He is a great Elder. We are very appreciative of these.
Dado (on the far right) was baptized in Oslo last May. He is a refugee from Ethiopia. He lives on an island that is a little over an hour north of Haugesund, named Bømlo. The Norwegian government assigns refugee's to live in different cities all over Norway so that they can intigrate into the Norwegian life style easier and so that there are not large enclaves of them in any one area. They are assigned to take Norwegian language classes in their assigned areas. Dado lives in a building that houses several emigrants. We went to visit him recently to see if we could help him get to church meetings more often and he had four of his friends that live in the same building as he does listen to us tell about our church. Tedla (who is also from Ethiopia) is just to the left of Dado and has listened to us a couple of time since and came to church with Dado two Sunday's ago. The young man on the far left is from Iran and the one next to him is from Syria.
When Dado and Tedla came to church we had a linger longer luncheon after our meetings. After the luncheon they helped clean up and we took their picture helping do the dishes. Both are married and have families they had to leave behind in Ehiopia.
We received a snow storm a week ago (about the 17th of November) and we had six inches on the ground. Then it turned very cold for the next three days and nothing melted. Glad we had our winter tires on our car. But it has since warmed up and it rained for two days straight. Now all of the snow is gone. Much different than in Tromsø last year.
