Dear Friends and Family;
Our days are getting shorter now. At the longest it was getting dark after midnight and light before 4. We had a great visit from Josh, Jackie and Stratton. It is so fun to show our family the country that we have grown to love. The same day that Josh, Jackie and Stratton left we got on a plane for Stockholm. We were able to go to the temple with a Sister we help teach and one of our YSA's that is headed to Boston on a mission. We are so happy for them. We really enjoyed being in the temple again. We had over 80 people from our ward attend. These people are amazing. It is a 15 hour drive. They have a guest house there where everyone stays. We all shared food and socialized in the evenings. It was really enjoyable. On the 4th we went to our Bishop's for a BBQ with the missionaries and the Olsen family. She is from Washington state. Hal Mead, the Bishop is from Wyoming. He grew up in Wright and played basketball in Burlington. Small world. We also had a 4th district lunch with the Missionaries. Sister Gormley spoils them. One of our wonderful YSA sisters, Shelby Miller, left for school at USU. We will miss her. Lynn Steffensen returned from a mission at temple square last night. We are excited to work with her. Hope you all had a happy and safe 4th. Love Elder and Sister Gormley

Monica Tindeland, from Haugesund, was baptised on July 1st. She is a young lady that came from the High School in Haugesund to do a report on the church. She took the lessons and was baptized. She is wonderful.
