You Can't Get It Right All of the Time!

I wanted to make a special treat - something different
and Fallish to serve during FHE while we were decorating the
center for Halloween.  I already had a can of condensed
milk so thought I would make Tonya's yummy carmel popcorn
balls.  We went to the only store that carries Karo syrup and
paid the 109 Kroner, ($11) because I thought it would all be
worth it.  I was so wrong.  Most Norwegians like their popcorn salted.  Only salted.  One of our YA's tasted it and said, "This tastes
weird.  There's too much carmel."  What??  

Lots of popcorn balls left over.
(It was a good thing the missionaries liked them!)

Recently, the missionaries planned and organized
a fun Kultur Kveld, (Cultural Evening) for our ward. 

Søsters Williams and Peterson, Eldste Sogla,
Even and Eldste Jefferies finished setting up and
decorating.

Fourteen countries are represented by the members
in our ward.

The Primary children marched in, each carrying a 
flag from one of the 14 countries, singing 
"I Am A Child of God".

Dinner included, Elgkarbonader, (moose patties), curry,
empanadas, Brazilian rice cakes, special holiday salad from the Phillipines, Danish desserts and aebleskiver, chicken and rice,
 pasta, Chilean soup and many kakes for dessert.

Over seventy people attended, including
10 non members.  

Aida and Joey danced as part of the entertainment.

It was a big success!!

Another successful Relief Society activity at
Anne Svendsen's beautiful 100 year old home.
The sisters, again, brought dough to form and
 then bake in the open brick oven.

Delicious pizza was also baked and enjoyed
by candle light.

Second Annual Halloween Party at Senteret

How about this good looking group!

Eating doughnuts off a string

They love musical chairs!

Pumpkin bowling was a hit but also a mess!
The only pumpkin we could find had a rotten spot --
so there was splattered pumpkin all over!

Even and Magnus racing their spiders.

Monster Mash - trying to pop balloons tied
around the ankles.

Atle scaring the senior sister.
Fun times!
