Hearts!  Hearts of all shapes and sizes!

Sheds/playhouses/troll houses - especially the ones with 

hearts on the doors!!

Sheds/playhouses/troll houses built on rocks

The thousands of boats prepared for winter

Hiking with my companion 

through the woods.

Finding woodland treasures 

Finding "living quarters" in the woods

Flour, sugar, powdered and brown sugar and vanilla that

come in very small containers.

Guess how many of these we go through each month??

Senteret!!  The Center!!  We are so very

thankful for the blessing of serving here with 

the great group of YA's - along with 

all the baking and cooking!!

It is a fun place!

Visitors! 

Last Friday, all the YA's left and these 

 6 happy "visitors" stayed until the 

last buses were leaving.

This bearded man and his T-shirt collection.

Henok!

   Last night for FHE, Henok told us his story and it is

an amazing one!!  He comes from Eritrea but left there about 8

years ago to find refuge - somewhere.  As a refugee, he traveled

and lived in camps in Ethiopia, South Sudan, North Sudan, Libya and Nigeria, enduring many hardships and spending many months in a horrible prison before finally getting to Italy and from there to Norway where he is seeking asylum.

Henok has always been a Christian and many times during 

his travels he had the opportunity to deny his beliefs which 

would have made it easier for him, but he never would. Soon

after coming here, he met the Elders and as they taught him,

he told us, "I felt something."  When they would read the Book of

Mormon,  he said, "I felt something".  A few months later, Henok was baptized and is such a great example to all of us!  He said, he will never deny what he knows and wants to always do the Lord's will. 

We all feel that Henok was guided to Norway to accept the Gospel. The Lord must have a great plan for this good man!

I am so grateful to know that our Heavenly Father has a 

plan for each of His children!!
