Please ignore that last message...still figuring out the site. I haven't read that book. How did you come across it?
|
| |
|
What was your debate topic?
|
| |
|
I'm sure others have signed in as well, but no, I haven't read the book and so chose not to clutter the message board with my reply...although I'm doing it now.

So the entire alumni hasn't signed on since early July? Way to go guys and gals. So much for my attempt to debate something important.

Has anyone read Grant Palmer's book, Mormon Origins? I would be interested in your views.

I am currently working for XanGo in Lehi and we are in dire need of a Norwegian speaking customer service rep. It's a good job with an awesome company and it would work really well for someone recently returned who is going to school at BYU or UVSC. You can contact me through the site if you are interested or know someone who is. I can then get you all the information you need to apply.
Heie Norge!

Does anyone know if a guy named Damon from Moss is still in that area? He was the missionaries age in 1998 which would make him about 27-28 now. He loved basketball and video games.

I was baptized in 1963 by Eldste Arnold Butterfield and Eldste Wade C. Starks, who confirmed me. Eldste Starks was then a "greenie", who was later assigned to Oslo under President Peterson. I was then also a missionary, working in the Mission Office at Drammensveien 96G.
I would very much like to know how these fine missionaries to whom I owe SO much, are faring. Last I heard, the Stark family had moved from Medford, Oregon to Salt Lake City.
If anyone knows them and can contact them, please let them know that I am still active in the Church, attending the Temple frequently, and am called as a Family History Consultant. I love my calling!
I can be contacted at <bestemor3@verizon.net>
Thanks!!

I just became informed of this posting about Lisa on this website. I want to make sure that everyone knows that I did not post this message. I believe someone has used my User ID to post this. I have contacted the web master of this site to resolve the issue. I hope that the contents of this message are not true, but if it is true, my heart and prayers go out to the Gunderson family.

Hi, I served as a missionary in Lillstrommen 10 years ago, wherein we tracted into Chrstine Kolstad. We taught her for about 8 months, then I went home. She was baptized several months later and I would like to get in contact with her - a simple Christmas Card. Could anyone please help me. I believe she is in the new Romerike Ward.
Thanks,
Eric Pond

I was baptized in Haugesund in 1993 by Elder Nelson and Elder Nielson. I've lost touch with them both. If anyone could help me locate them, I would appreciate it. By the way, I now live in Mesa, Arizona.

I was wondering if anyone remember's which president it was that passed away while serving? From what I understand my father's uncle stepped in until another president was called, same last name "Ingebrigtsen".
anyone know what year/years that was?

Does anyone know whether the Borglis, who lived in Baerum or Haslum, ever joined The Church? He is Norwegian, but Mrs. Borgli is English, and were very kind to us when there in 1962 and recieved all the discussions about The Church. They were very close to baptism when I moved from the area, but never did hear if they ever joined.

The last city I served in was Skien. This would have been in December of 1989. We had an investigator named Siri who was a student in Porsgrun. We taught her right up until I finished my mission. About a month after getting back to the States, I got a letter saying she had been baptized.
I have tried to find out where she is. All I am able to find out is that she married a missionary and is now living in the States. I don't know who the missionary is, but if any of you do, please let me know.
Thanks,
Eric Martin 1988-1989

I have always wondered if any other Brits - that's true Brits born and raised subjects of H.M., ever served in Norway? While I served in Norway, I asked that question of several of the older life long members up and down the country, but they could not recall ever meeting a British missionary prior to me - I know that my polling was very unscientific and probably doesn't mean much. There were also a few expats (Skien) and dual citizens living in Norway too, and they didn’t know either. So, once off my mission and living in SLC, I inquired with the Church's History and Missionary Departments, but alas they too were unable to give me an answer. So, if your a Brit by the aforementioned definition or know an Brit ex-missionary who served at any time in Norway, please leave a message!

As a greenie in Baerum living in the "office elder" flat, I remember hearing talk of removing the H&M billboard just down the road. I thought it a trap--the AP's and others seeing if I would fall into it and then scold me for it. I don't recall if anyone ever took it, but it did get quite a few stares whenever we drove past. One night, after a fierce rain storm, it was gone. I think Mike King had something to do with it...
I offer that the Sisters perhaps were more into collecting H&M material than the Elders--my poor minnebok; it has some interesting pasted material from various sisters. I remember being a bit embarassed when my parents went through the book when I returned to the states--I had some 'splainin to do.

I was never able to get away with an entire Billboard, kudos to mr skjåvik! I actully used skjåvik's pants that were left in the Skien apartment. They were in the basements of the Bishop's (Isaksen I think). They were a little large but I'm not that big to begin with.
I picked up every H&M postcard that they had available for the Christmas of 1996 campaign. I sent some to my brother who was on his mission in New Jersey, he was grateful. I didn't know what to do with the rest so I put the in the "hybel reject" closet in Tønsberg. I hung them up in there like they were in a school locker. Well one day the AP's came to visit and decided to go through the apartment. I had forgotten all about the postcards. So when they opened up that closet I was almost at a loss for words. I told them I put them there so I wouldn't see them "everyday" (because that made it better). When they asked why didn't just throw them away I told them "you don't just throw away pictures of the ones you love!(there went my chances of being an AP, shucks!)
I loved those cards!

I never removed an H&M poster from a billboard, but I did take pictures - not just of Nicole Smith. Remember in the summer of '95 Pamela Anderson did a swim suit billboard campaign for H&M. In my Minne Bok a couple of the Oslo Sisters stuck magazine cut outs of the Christmas adds.

Does anyone have contact with the Nelsons? I visited them in 1990 in a suberb of SLC but cant for the life of remember where. Suzanne is a fellow Brit and servered 1982 to 84 and Chad was 81 -83 I think. They married in 88. Any info would be good
|

Just a quick question... how many of you RM's stole H&M billboards? You know the one's I'm talking about. Winter & Summer - during my mission I can remember many Elder's figuring out new and inventive ways to take these things down and put them up in their apartments.
Sadly, I must confess that I helped Elder Sjaavik take one down in Stavanger after it had already started to fall off due to heavy rain.
I was however, impressed with the dedication Sjaavik showed as he dried and ironed the billboard in order to ship it home.
So who else has done this and what were the most effective methods for removing them that you used.

I am here in my home office with Joel Hinckley, who is currently vacationing in Pittsburgh, and Scott Johnson, who now lives in Pittsburgh and works for Heinz. It has been a very long time since I last logged onto this website and boy has it changed - for the better. I am logged on as Scott because time has caused me to forget my own log-on and password. Hopefully Mr. Jezek can remedy that soon. A word of caution, please ignore my profile for the time being, until I can update it. And by golly it certainly needs updating. As stated, I no longer live in Ohio, nor work for the named bank, nor am I married to the same woman. I am still an active Mormon, who reminisces about his mission on a regular basis. I can still taler Norsk. I am remarried and have two sons. I work for a GSE. My wife is a grad of BYU and is music teacher and member of the Pittsburgh Mendelssohn Choir. I am still a Brit waiting on my US citizenship. I am currently pursuing a MS in Behavioral Studies. This September my family and I will be visiting Oslo for three days. Other alumni I have had contact with are Carl Whitaker, the Perry's and Cecil Hedrich. I would love to hear from more alumni or friends of the mission.

I just wanted to write and thank all of you who took the time to write me about my dad. It has been overwhelming to hear all the great stories about my dad. I miss him very much and this information has helped me feel closer to him than I have in a long time. I know he loved all of the missionaries who came into his life and you all left a print on his life. He was a great man and he loved life and he loved the missionaries who tried so hard to keep him active and who kept me active my teenage years. Thank yuo so much for caring and know that I am deeply gratefukk for all you did for my dad and my family

In case any brave souls out there want to try it, Sizzle is a basic brownie recipe, only you half the flour and double the butter and sugar. Bake it according to directions, then when it's ready, take it out, scoop some into a bowl, then pour milk over it. The better the Sizzle, the longer it will--obviously--sizzle. (Warning: don't make unless you're a missionary. With their blessing to be immune to poisoning, it's the only defense against this concoction killing you!

Risengrynsgrøt
1 Cup Short Grain or Pearl Rice
(it is usually found among the inexpensive
rices in a bag in most grocery stores. If
you can't find that, use Shirakiku rice in the
Asian section of the store it is exactly the
same)
2 Cups Water
2 Cups Milk
1/4 tsp Salt
Sugar or sweetener to taste
Put the rice in a pan and rinse it over and over again until the water runs clear. Once the rice is clean add the salt and 2 cups of water. Boil on low heat until the water is almost gone. Then add the milk. Turn down the heat to simmer and cook until the milk is almost gone. Stir frequently while cooking with the milk.
Once the milk is gone it is ready to serve as Risengrynsgrøt. Serve with melted butter and sugar and cinnamon.
For a dessert
Use above mixture
2 cups whipping cream
1 Tbs. vanilla
Sweetener to taste
Let the rice mixture cool completely in the refrigerator. Whip 2 cups whipping cream with 2 tbs sugar (or to taste) and 1 tsp vanilla. Fold the cool risgrøt into the whipped cream. It should take on the appearance of cottage cheese. Be careful not to stir to hard as it could cause the air to go out of the whipped cream. Serve with Rød Saus.
Rød Saus
1 basket rasberries
2 cups water
2 Tbs. corn starch
1/4 cup COLD water
Sweetener to taste
I like to make my sauce with fresh raspberries. Take a basket of fresh raspberries and cook them with about 2 cups of water. Mash the berries as they cook to bring out all their juices. Once you are sure there is no more juice left in the raspberry pulp strain it out and keep the juice. Stir 1-2 Tbs. corn starch into about 1/4 cup COLD water. Let the corn starch dissolve completely. Add the cold corn starch liquid to the warm raspberry juice. Cook over low heat stirring constantly until the mixture thickens to form the consistency of a thin sauce. Sweeten to taste. Let cool, but stir periodically as it can thicken while cooling... If it gets too thick stir in some water a little at a time.
Serve the Riskrem with the Rødsaus. It makes a great holiday dessert or a nice refreshing summer dessert as well.

Here is a recipe for risgrøt:
4 to 6 servings
3 cups of cooked rice
4 1/2 cups of milk
1 tablespoon margerine or butter
1/8 teaspoon salt
2-3 tablespoons sugar
In a large heavy saucepan, combine well-drained rice with milk. Cook, covered, over low heat until milk is absorbed; stir occasionally. Stir in the margerine (butter), salt, and sugar. Chill. Serve with cream or apple compote.

I make risgrøt several times a year for Christmas or other special occasions.
Here is my recipe:
Norwegian Rice Pudding with Raspberry Fruit Sauce
Serves eight
Ingredients:
4 cups Whole Milk*
8 Tbs. (1 stick) Butter or Margarine
1 tsp. Salt
3/4 cup Pearl Rice**
1 pint Heavy Cream
2 tsp. Vanilla Extract
4 Tbs. Sugar
1. Put milk, butter and salt into large pan. Bring
to a boil, watch carefully as it begins to boil
and remove from heat before milk boils over.
2. Add rice. Turn stove down to low and simmer
approximately one hour covered with a lid
until rice is tender and has thick consistency.
4. Stir approximately every 15 minutes during this time period.
5. Whisk cream, vanilla and sugar together.
6. After rice cooks approximately one hour, stir in cream mixture.
Raspberry Fruit Sauce:
1. Use Danish Dessert, Raspberry flavor
(available on the baking aisle of most grocery stores).
2. Follow directions on box for Fruit Sauce.
3. Serve rice warm or chilled with warm Raspberry sauce poured over the top of Rice Pudding.
Notes:
*You may adjust the amounts in this recipe, but maintain a 5:1 ratio for milk and rice—5 parts milk to one part rice.
**NEVER use long grain rice. You may substitute medium grain rice if you are unable to find pearl rice.

If anyone should be looking for Norwegian Receipes I can suggest a few Norwegian web-sites (giving you a chance to practice the language, as well)
www.prior.no, www.tine.no, www.matprat.no, www.gilde.no, www. aperitif.no
All these sites have a varitey of receipes, not only Norwegian food. Vel bekomme.

I am just curious as to whether the sizzle has survived. Do any of you more recent RM's know what I am talking about?
