 On November 14, we started our journey to move from Byske up north down to Växjö in the south.  The first night we stopped in Sundsvall and stayed with Eva-Lotte Nedergård.  She had a nice dinner prepared for us when we arrived and had fixed us a nice breakfast in the morning before she left for work.  The next day, November 15, we continued our journey to Stockholm to attend a couple's conference.  The pictures are of some of the couples that attended the conference.  The top picture (sorry it is fuzzy but it was jiggily) is when we were traveling on the tunnelbanna (train) in to the central station to meet other couples and go to lunch.  l to r  Äldste Marriott, Syster Marriott (yes they are related to the hotel Marriotts), Syster Erickson, Äldste Erickson.  The middle picture is l to r  Syster Johanson, Äldste Johanson (he came over with Dick at the same time on their first missions).



The picture to the right is taken in the mission home and is of Äldste and Syster Bybee.  We just traded places with them.  They are now living in Byske and we are living in Växjö where they had been serving for about a month.  They will be working with the Luleå and Skellefteå branches.  He speaks french and there is a need for french in the Luleå area. They do not speak swedish.

 When people from the district or mission came to visit or for special occasions, the Relief Society would put together a luncheon and we would usually all gather together upstairs and eat and visit.  However, this time Ivar decided he would stay and so we moved the luncheon downstairs to the classroom.  l to r  Fern Girdlestone, Birgit Carlsson Håkan Palm, Gunvor Söderholm.  Håkan Palm is the 2nd counselor in the mission presidency.  He was visiting with us that Sunday and spoke.  We had picked him up on Saturday from the airport and Dick and he went to try to visit members.  We then hosted him for dinner, staying in our apartment, and breakfast.
