7th July 2010
As you can imagine, our first few days in Norway were busy! I'd already been assigned visiting teachers at church, and they brought us dinner that first night. (I'm really loving my visiting teachers. They've done all sorts of nice things for me since, like sending cards and messages, picking me flowers, loaning Norwegian books and movies, inviting for dinner, showing me around the stores, etc. It is SO GREAT to have immediate friends in a new place. I was invited, within the first couple weeks of our arrival, to both a movie night and a baby shower at the homes of different sisters.) On our second night, Christian and Elisabeth Karlsson, who are in our ward and live nearest to us, visited us with pizza. I'd heard a lot about them, and was excited to meet them. They have three sons. They're in the picture below. Days were spent emptying boxes and setting up basic furniture bought from IKEA--hooray for IKEA! We had to go in to Oslo city to "register" our family with the government. (The waiting time at that office was awful!) Lots to do.
Tired
Don't they look a lot alike?
