Pieces of April

April gave us springtime and the promise of the flowers
And the feeling that we both shared and the love that we called ours
We had no time for sadness, that's a road we each had crossed
We were living a time meant for us, and even when it would rain
we would laugh it off.

I've got pieces of April, I keep them in a memory bouquet

April allowed us to spend some time viewing some of the sights in and around Oslo.  We drove the 4 & 1/2 hours to Oslo to attend a zone conference

Royal Palace is a 5 minute walk from the Mission Offices

Beautiful sunsets on our drive back to Kristiansand

We did attend a Zone Conference while we were there.  Again so much fun to associate with the missionaries serving here.

We have made some wonderful new friends while serving in Norway.  The associations we have been able to have with other Senior Couples are memories for a lifetime.

Welcome Elder & Sister Jensen to Norway.  Elder Jensen was my companion for a little over a week 47 years ago in Oslo.  He was at the end of his mission and I was transferring to Oslo from Skien.

It's a tradition for missionaries in Norway to leap with excitement as their pictures are taken coming into the country and leaving.  The Robinsons felt they needed to add to the tradition.

Ha det bra!   Well done thou good and faithful servants.
