Update to Ivar Nilsson
In July when our daughter, Melanie, and her husband, Pat, were here visiting in Sweden, we were able to fly down to Stockholm.  There we met Ivar at the temple in Västerhaninge and were able to help him do some of the names for his family.  I did the endowment for Ivar's mother, Ivar did the endowment for his father, Dick did the endowment for his grandfather.  Melanie and Pat did the endowments for other members of his family.  The next day we attended a sealing session where Ivar's parents were sealed together (I was proxy for his mother and Ivar proxy for his dad).  Then Dick took the place of Ivar's father as Ivar was sealed to his parents.  We then proceeded to do other sealings for members of Ivar's family.  It was a very special time for all of us.  This was truly a highlight of our mission.

We are greatly indebted to Ivar for providing a taxi to and from the airport and also two wonderful meals together while we were there.
