Fun Day with Friends







Yesterday Greta and Valla invited us to Valla's home for Brunch and a visit before going to the Branch Talent Show at 4 PM. They also invited Elder and Sister Koyle and Elder Ellsworth and Elder Christensen. We had a delicious meal of fruits, soup, quiche, breads with cheese, ham, and salad, and pastries and a skyr desert. The picture that includes Elder Ellsworth's grimace is not an indication of his feelings about the food but more a reason why we enjoy him. He is very animated about everything and we can just imagine what was happening as he made this face. After a wonderful and over filling meal we continued to enjoy visiting until time to go to the talent show. It was a fun visit as Valla and Greta are so much fun to be with.

The talent show was fun but sparse. Most of the members did not come due to the snow that was still coming down. When the Koyle's arrive to pick us up they could not get up our street even with their 4 wheel drive van and then as we tried to park on Valla's street the van got stuck. We were able to push it out but gives you an idea why many of the members decided not to come. Those of us who did though enjoyed the show which included everything from skits to items made.

We are certainly going to miss this wonderful group of friends in Iceland.
