Singing at the Norwegian Parliament

While in Oslo, we took a tour of the parliament building. We were hosted and guided by Dagfinn Høybråten, head of the Christian Democrat Party, parliament member and former Minister of Health. He is friends of Vice President Erlend Peterson, who traveled with us from Copenhagen to Oslo. On the tour, Dagfinn shared the history of Norway as well as personal insights into government, the economy and politics. He has been to BYU as a guest speaker. While on the tour, another gentleman, the Deputy Speaker of Parliament, came up and asked where we are from and when he heard BYU he said he has spoken there. He found out Vice President Peterson was with us and decided to make a few comments. At the end of the tour we sang "My Heavenly Father Loves Me" in the Storting Room, which is the large assembly room. Dagfinn later attended our VIP reception and the show.
