I don't suppose anyone knows where I can get an audio copy of Mormons Book? I am going back to Norway for the the first time in 30 years and have been looking for them everywhere without luck.
Thanks

My wife, Claudia, and I just celebrated our 30th anniversary and thanks to a wonderful Christmas gift from our 3 oldest children, we will be visiting Norway from the July 21 - 31. We are so excited we can hardly wait! We will be in the Bergen area from the 22nd to the 26th. After a train ride and overnight in Stalheim, we will be in Oslo from the 27th to the 31st. I would love to hear from any members or missionaries that served from 1980 to 1982.
Tusen Takk,
Ron Shaffer

Hello Everyone,
My father (and some of my brothers) went to Norway on a mission. And my Great Grandfather was from Norway. Recently my mom passed away and in going through her house I found some books that I hate to just send to D.I.--so I thought I'd see if people with a Norway connection had an interest in them. They are mostly, but not all, church books (I think--I can't read Norwegian!). One looks to be a discussion flip-chart. One is a hymnbook and one an old "Children's Sing" (the old primary songbook). The most recent book was published in 1950, the earliest in 1909. Also 2 Norwegian flags. Anyone interested? If so, please email me at montat@gmail.com. I'm in the Salt Lake City area (Sandy), but I could mail them.

My ancestors joined the church in Norway in 1860. Carl Johansen and wife Helena Hansen. Carl was 32 and Helena was 33. They had 3 small children, daughter Andrea Amalie married John Solomon Saxton in Utah after the family migrated to America in 1872. Carl was born in Nittedal and lived in Hadddalen and Helena in Stange and lived in Slang/slarup? just above Oslo. Carl was a joiner (wood finisher).
Can anyone provide any information on this family? I would love to know for example how they joined the church.

Does anyone know how I could get a hold of Bryan Richardson. He served with me in Bekkestua 1977 -78. I have lost track of him and would like to contact him.

Recently I received a phone call from Bro. Rwighameras (sp?). He is a Rwandan refugee who came to Norway and joined the Church in the early to mid 90s (I think he said 93 or 94). The missionary who baptized him was Keith Harpp (this is how he spelled it to me). I knew Bro. Rwighameras in 2003 when we lived in the Sandvika Ward. Bro. Rwighameras will be in SLC shortly and wanted help in tracking down this missionary. Can anyone help.
Tusen Takk,
Steve Thomsen

I have the Book of Mormon on tape in Norwegian from the 80's. This is an excellent language teaching tool for missionaries. So if you have a walkman from the 90's or a device that can play cassettes, I'll ship it to you if you cover the cost. If you are interested reply to me privately at johnwarnesen@yahoo.co.uk.

Anyone who served under Presidents Wilford, Broberg, and/or Hyer?
I was given the mission roster by President Broberg many years ago and helped organize the first reunion. Now I've been contacted by someone wanting to organize a new reunion and I'd like any updates to the list before passing it on. Please submit address updates for yourself or anyone whose current addresses you know to me here.
Thanks,

Provided on behalf of Rebecca Gudmundson:
"This is going to sound like an odd request, but I am looking for someone who would be willing to teach a friend of mine Norwegian. He wants to take a trip to Norway sometime this summer and hopefully do some missionary work with a line of his family that did not join the church. Anyway, I was hoping you might be willing or know of anyone who lives near SLC who might be willing to teach the language. My friend is an excellent linguist and would gladly do a language trade (he speaks about 18 languages fluently) or he is also willing to pay. He has been looking for someone to teach him for a while with no luck so I thought I would help in the search. Please get back to me at your earliest convenience."

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

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)

He was my MTC teacher in June-July 1992 but I haven't heard from or seen him since.
