Norrland District Meetings and finding the Swedish blue dräkt

On our way back from Norrland, we drove to Bollnäs to check out a Blocket ad for the Swedish National dräkt. It was a perfect fit and we loved it. It is one of our best finds for Syster Johnson's wardrobe.
We traveled at night in stress,
On winding roads, must confess.
As dark as it was,
We kept going because;
I wanted that Swedish blue dress!
--Syster Amy Johnson

Sundsvall has a beautiful view from Södraberget, where we had a wonderful room for the night, which was actually an upgraded suite. We felt so blessed, being the tired missionary travelers that we were that night.

Sundsvall District consists of Äldster Holland and Barlow, Äldste Johnson och Syster Johnson, Sisters Porkka and Hegstrom. We loved the bean soup and Swedish pancakes they fixed for lunch.

Sundsvall Chapel is beautiful and well cared for. The grass is still green in the North.

Our view from the Högakust bro Hotel. We have stayed here before on our last trip to Norrland.

Umeå District consists of Äldster Hanes, Loomis, Kroff, Bennion, Arko and Adamson. We loved being with this great group. (Loomis and Adamson were former secretaries in the Office)


Umeå Chapel is beautiful and clean. It was fun to see former Office elders at the District meeting and give the group some information about driving in our wonderful Mission cars.
