Inga Marie writes - Missionary Johan Aanstad married Trine Wilsgaard from Kongnes in Torsken on May 24, 1892. In her he got a good wife. She was as interested in the Seamen's Mission as he was. Together they took what came, both sorrows and happiness, whatever comes in everyday life.
They had seven girls and two boys, but death came so often, they got real acquainted with sorrow. Five of the children passed away, both boys and three girls.
They knew where to go with their sorrow, and God showed them what to do. There were many children without parents, so they took three children, one boy and two girls to raise.
