Dear Friends and Family;
Things are getting warm and pretty in Norway. The April showers really did bring beautiful May flowers. Laurie is having problems with her knee. She tore some cartilage in her left knee right before our mission. She thought she could wait until we got home. I think she will have arthroscopic surgery her to help the pain. Other than that we are doing well. We met a sweet lady in Lærvik on Stord named Gunvor Stenberg. She joined the church when she was 15 in about 1950 in Bergen. She was active until he got married and moved to Lærvik. She is 82 and was so glad to see us. We also met a couple in Haugesund, Bjarne and Brigit Vestre. They are relatives of the Weeks in Wyoming. He has found over 32,000 names of his ancestors. We really enjoyed meeting them. We hope to tell them more about the church. We continue to put many kilometers on our little car. Norway is beautiful from top to bottom. Hope you are all excited about summer. We are super excited about seeing some of our family this summer. Love Elder and Sister Gormley
