Syttende Mai (Norway's National Day)

Another Holiday In Norway!!


Today is May 17 which is Norway's National Day. A day like the 4th of July in the US. It is celebrated nationwide with children's parades and lots of festivities! A great chance for the missionaries to get out among the people and mingle. A friend in the branch Carries serves sent these pictures of some of the flag waving at the parade in Stavanger!! Tusen takk, Julie!!


Looks like it was a sunny day there, probably not too warm, though! Carrie is still wearing her coat. I don't think she had any idea how much she would wear that coat!! She is going to want to burn it when she gets home!! :)

Carrie with her good friend, Julie Phipps. Carrie looks like a a real Norwegian girl these days!! :)

I had forgotten Norweigans are so nationalistic with the flags! Yes, she will want to burn the coat, IF she even brings it home! :)
