This is an awful picture. It's blurry, and auto-flash on my point and shoot was used. However, the people in it are some of my
favorite people in the world. Norma and Viktor Marin were a couple that immigrated to Sweden from Chile way back when. I met
them on my mission and visited them often. They were working towards getting sealed in the temple which they were eventually able
to do shortly after I left the mission. I haven't seen them since 2002 when I did my internship here, and they are doing wonderfully.
Norma reminded me a lot of my mom, both personality-wise and physically (she has the same face-feel. Something about the eyes
and the mouth...) It was a pleasure to see them again. Astrid (on the right) was a saint. When I was in Uppsala (for 7 months, mind
you), we didn't have a washing machine, so Astrid did our laundry every week, even ironing our shirts for us. She's Norwegian, and
in Norway they eat meat-cakes (v. Swedish meatballs), and she made the best meat-cakes I've ever eaten. Of course, I've only ever
eaten her meat-cakes, but that's beside the point. Them things were yummy. Bottom pic was on my way home.
