An article appeared in the Church News about the Osmonds just completing a 2-month “Park Tour” in Sweden. In the article it stated the Osmonds stole the hearts of the Swedish people. Not only did they perform, but they showed they had the missionary spirit by handing out copies of the Book of Mormon to interested people and obtained referrals for the missionaries. Virl and Tom were serving their missions in Edmonton, Canada. Many homes had been opened to the missionaries as a result of the good impression the Swedish people received from seeing these young artists perform. The Osmonds visited many branches on Sundays as they travelled through Sweden. In Stockholm, they spoke and sang at a meeting held for three combined branches in that area.
