Food is the great common denomenator. We have some kind of food or healthy snack with just about everything that we do. Luckily our well-equipped kitchen allows us to prepare or pre-prepare most everything at home.
At District Meeting each week we make dinner for the missionaries. There are three sets now but we are getting a fourth pair when transfers take place on Sept. 1. I have rediscovered "saft" a fruit punch drink that is almost 100% juice and comes in great flavors. We served Orange Passion Fruit with this middag - note Shanna's homemade rolls, too.
This is our little VW Pollo (does that mean it is the "chicken" model?) oh, it's a Polo. Turns on a dime and has surprizing headroom. Elders Passey and Bekker borrow it two or three times each week.
On Saturday we flew to Oslo for a meeting of Institute teachers and directors of Centers for Young Adults. I ran into the first person that I knew first time around in Norway. In 1966 I first met Johannes Bjerga, who was four years old at the time. He was the son of the Stavanger Branch President. He married Johanna and they live in Stavanger with their family.
These are the couples who are Directors of Centers in Oslo, Trondheim, Kristiansand and Stavanger. The Bjergas are not serving a mission but have been called as local directors. (This group includes The Burtons, The Springers, The Hickmans along with us and Bjergas) There are openings for a few more couples in Norway if anyone is interested in a wonderful experience!
Cool! That looks like a fun car to drive through the streets of Bergen!
