We'll be home for Christmas

Dear Family and Friends;

I thought it was time to write at least one blog!  Our time in Norway is coming to an end.  The experiences and love we have felt will always stay in our hearts.  We have made so many new friends, felt the strength of many missionaries and have loved our YSA.  Our YSA endured an American turkey dinner with all of the fixings this month.  It is very different food for them.   We have been very busy in November.  We had a couples conference in Oslo that we coordinated.  We planned and prepared the food.  It was wonderful to get to the new couples here in Norway.  We are the longest here and were asked for much advice!!  We have had many goodbyes.  In Haugesund we bore our testimonies, had a great dinner made by Marianne and took a branch photo.  What wonderful people.  We bore our last testimonies in Stavanger.  The were many hugs and tears following the meeting.  The Lord has blessed our lives!  We will never forget these people.  We have made eternal friends.

Love Elder and Sister Gormley
