“The Friend,” Liahona, Sept. 1996 The Friend September 1996 The Friend cover: Summer days are very long and winter days are very short in Iceland, where nine-year-old Brynjólfur Ólafsson (right) and his brother, Matthías, live with their parents and their sister. But whether the days are long or short, there is always time for the gospel and Church activity. See Making Friends, page 14. (Photograph by Janet Thomas.)
