Returning to hour homeland!  Entering Norway after our trip in Sweden

After church in Trondheim.  Many enjoy staying after to visit.

Sister Johnston on top, is she really standing on Sister Fredrickson's shoulders?

Elders Smith and Brown couldn't fill their buckets because they ate them.

Before the swim

Visited Mo i Rana but took the long, coastal trip.  Instead of a 7 hour trip it took about 14.  Elder Craft, who was transferring to Mo, went with us.  Elder C, a nature lover, caught a frog on the road.  There were hundreds of them, many being run over by us.  The sound was interesting.  But Elder Craft caught this frog, brought it in the car to show us, and it slipped out of his hand.  Dana's scream was heard in Rome and the time it took Norm to exit from the car broke a world record.  Craft is still laughing and yes, he did catch the frog again.  By the way, Norm was Elder Craft's elementary school principal in Sandy.

Coastal trip to Mo; waiting for a ferry.
