Last Saturday we were teaching a great family in the Westman Islands. Teaching in the Westman's is difficult because we can not always get there on a set schedule. We want to go every month but sometime it might be two months before we can get back. It is not an ideal way to teach the restored Gospel of Jesus Christ. So tonight the Elders came to our apartment and using Skype this beautiful family learned more about Jesus Christ and His Gospel plan. Better yet they are going to have another lesson on Saturday via Skype. When we arrived last Saturday they had a page of questions they had been collecting since our last visit and now they don't have to wait so long to discuss those questions. This was a first for us but maybe others have found other exciting ways to teach the Gospel to people who are too far away to teach on a regular basis.
Again I don't have a picture - why didn't I do a snapshot on Skype? So here are some more pictures of Iceland. Top one is our current Elders taken today on Preparation Day. We just had two Elders complete their missions and two Elders from Denmark came to help our Elders while we wait for our two replacement. The cloud pictures were taken about 9:30 PM a few days ago and the colors are true - no photo enhancements - that is what we saw too.

What is there stairs? in the background of the top pic?
So what two lucky elders got to come from Denmark? What do they think?
It is a fish ladder for the salmon. I am not sure why they have this one as there are many falls in Iceland and this is the only fish ladder we have seen with water in it. There is also a much higher falls not too much further up the river. We have only seen one other fish ladder and it was dry.
President Olauson said every Elder and Sister in Denmark volunteered to come to Iceland. These two are both previous Assistants to the President and both have 3 months left. We will have them a month and then our new Elders arrive. They loved the waterfalls. Their comments all related to how flat Denmark is. Considering 3 of our Elders arrived in January 2009 and the 4th this month, these two Elders will provide great leadership and training.
