I have been given a request from Randi Evans who used to live in Drammen. She is good friends with Marit Evensen and has asked that anyone who served in Drammen who knew Marit send her a birthday greeting, she will be 65. Her birthday is Monday, Feb. 9 but Randi would like the emails sent by Sat. Feb. 7. Marit's email is: maritevensen1@gmail.com. Randi now lives in London and was a great friend to the missionaries who served in Drammen while she was there. Please, everyone who knows Marit do this for her, it will mean so much to her and to Randi. Thanks, Denise Stembridge

This is a msg. for Chris Burns. I have been home for many years so I don't remember the brand of boots etc. that I bought but I did wait and buy them in Norway and they were great. There is a great website for missionary moms that you and your mom could sign on to and it will hook you up with the others with missionaries in Norway. It is:
ldsmissionarymoms.com. I am on it for my son that leaves for Brazil in February and have had many questions answered by those great moms. I'm sure there are many on that site who will help you with any questions. Good luck, and I know you will love Norway! It is the best mission in the world! Denise

I served in Norway under Pres. Wilford 1980-1982. Janine Greven, who was baptized during that time is now serving a mission in Germany/Austria and is trying to contact Ron Lowe from Canada who performed the baptism. Does anyone have any information on locating Ron Lowe? Thanks?

Hi, this is Chris Burns. I enter the MTC on February 4th, and I thought it would be a good idea to ask any returned missionaries who check this site regularly if they had any suggestions regarding warm gloves, boots and possibly gaiters. Does anyone have any specific brands/models that they found worked well? Were there any areas where quality snow boots were an absolute necessity? Did you ever use gaiters?
Thanks in advance for any information you can give!
Eldste Burns

I am searching for Missionaries who served in Norway sometime between 1965-1970. The missionaries visited the places Notodden and Heddal in Telemark County.

There is a family who are progressing through the discussion with missonaries but have come accross Joseph Smith's polyandrous marriage on the internet and are disturbed by this unfortunate aspect in our history. Does anyone know of an academic paper or research from a reputable source that I could refer to as a means of helping to explain why this happened? I cant see them progressing until this is explained or put into some reasonble context. I'd appreciate any help you can offer

I put up a youtube video with pictures from my mission and a song sung by a sleepy MTC district. It's located at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCDQI6H3p2U. I hope you enjoy it! I've already gotten two stars! (ummm... that's out of five)

Last night I attended a reunion in sandy Utah with my father Mark Winsor. It was delightful meeting people he served with and others who served in Norway. President Haugen spoke about the work of missionaries. His dear wife suffered a stroke many years back and has lost her speech but the warmth and love spills out of her. She is such a lovely lady. I had the pleasure of hearing the laugauge of the country I was born and eating the food as well. I do hope next year more come and share with us the experiences they have had. PLEASE if anyone is willing to add to my scrapbook I will be putting together send it all to 7467 S. Gold Cir West Jordan Utah 84084 or email it to jeepeater80@hotmail.com. I really would like everyone to send stories and photos and news clips letters or whatever you have.

If anyone knows about Karsten and Ellen Andersen who lived in Fyllingsdalen and were baptised in the Bergen Branch in 1976 I would appreciate hearing from you. Especially if you have any contact information. I was one of the missionaries who taught them and I was blessed to witness their baptism.

Dear Brothers and Sisters,
I have just joined in with the Family History Centers in a work that will extend my missionary efforts of the past. The church has received authorization to do extraction work from Norwegian Farm Books. These books contain the family history of each farm district around Norway. This information was required by Norway about 1923. Although the language is not required to do the work, I have found it to be helpful and fun. For me, after 30 years or silence, I can still read the language ..... I just don't know what I'm reading!
If any of you are interested, please contact me at dstradling55@mac.com and I'll forward the information on for you.
Godt Jul !
Hilsen,
Eldste Dann Stradling 1975-1977

I know many of you became fans of Sissel's music while in Norway. But you may not know she has a new album out: Northern Lights. I highly recommend it.
In March of this year, in the hauntingly beautiful 17th-century Norwegian village of Roros where little has changed since 1650 - a magical musical event took place. In the landmark church that has served as a beacon for the community since 1784, Sissel performed in concert with world renowned special guest tenor José Carreras. The magic of that night in UNESCO World Heritage site of Røros was captured for all of us to experience.

Dear Former Norway Missionaries:
I thought you may be interested in knowing the President John Langeland has recently published an autobiography entitled: "A More Excellent Way: The John Langeland Story." The book has been published by The Lighthouse Institute and additional information is available at www.thelighthouseinstitute.com. I believe the book will be available through Deseret Book. You may also contact Bergen Distributing about acquiring a copy by calling ph. (801) 972-3003 or by e-mail to bdi@bergendistributing.com

Elder and Sister Roberds are currently serving in Bergen as Senior Missionaries. They have been asked to help Brother Aspevik write a history of the branch in Bergen to commemorate the 150 years of missionary work. If you have any stories or pictures of your time in Bergen, please send them to Elder and Sister Roberds at norskirawbirds@yahoo.com. Thanks for your help.

So back to my original question, has anyone read Palmer's book? If so I'd be interested in your thoughts and you can e mail me directly. It is certainly worth a read. I understand it would make some people uncomfortable but that doesnt make it less of a work nor can someone challenge Palmer's dedication and service to the Church. Just read his resume.
|
| |
I have not read this book but from what Bro Palmer wrote about himself it seems that he has lost some faith in the divine origins of the Restoration. Here is the link from his publisher's website: http://www.signaturebooks.com/excerpts/insider's2.htm
A wikipedia article states that Bro Palmer wrote under a pseudonym while employed by the Church Educational System and retired early before his book was published. Here's the article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/An_Insider's_View_of_Mormon_Origins
All in all, it doesn't seem like a beneficial read to me. For a scholarly approach to Joseph Smith and the restoration of the Church I would suggest Richard Bushmans "Joseph Smith: Rough Stone Rolling." I have read this one and it is excellent.
