So, Al has been out over 3 months now! So crazy how the time has managed to fly, but to drag on at the same time... only 20 months left. I know... 23, doesn't seem to add up to a full mission, but apparently in Norway because of the way they do their transfers or whatever, they get to choose whether they want to go 23 OR 25 months... Al decided on 23 for now so he can come home and help me plan the wedding sooner, but he may change his mind the more and more he falls in love with his mission.

Things are going great for him! He wasn't hurt in the building bombing, but it's only because the Lord really does look out for His missionaries. Al's companion actually was in Oslo for a training session which was only 2 blocks away from the bombing. Apparently the windows and blinds actually blew out in that building, but his companion, Elder Bischoff, wasn't hurt either. Al should have been walking those streets probably right around that explosion, but actually was still in their city Arendal for a baptism which was about 3 hours away. I'm so grateful that they were both so blessed to have avoided being in harm's way.
I pray for the families who lost loved ones... The aftermath:
Oh! I'm sending Al out a "greenie" package tomorrow. all sorts of awesome green stuff!! pictures to come soon hopefully :)
Jeg elsker deg, Eldste Strange!!!
