Umea District Conference!!!!!

Saturday and Sunday, May 13 and 14, 2017, we traveled to Umea for our last District Conference in Norland.  We love Norland and the wonderful members who live in this District.  We decided to throw in a picture of President and Sister Beckstrand in the snow, just so we can remember what Winter truly is.  We had meetings with the District members on Saturday, which is always a wonderful event.  On Sunday morning, we had our general meeting with the District members.  After our meeting, the members presented Sister and President Beckstrand with a beautiful woven blanket depicting the birch trees in the forests of Norland.  We will always treasure this gift.

After our meeting on Sunday, Sister Beckstrand always makes sure the missionaries have something good to eat, after all, it is Sunday.  This is something Sister Beckstrand has done throughout the three years she has been here in Sweden.  What a great missionary mom!!!!
