Sweden to Norway - Understanding Anna Maria's timeline
Anna Maria Olsen is shown marrying Karl Torvald Gundersen on 19 November 1910. The record shows that she was born 4 May 1889 in Lommelanda, Sweden.
It also states that she is Mormon/The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I think this record is showing when she removed her name from the State Church. I would like to find a record that shows her baptism into the Church.
This is where things get a little confusing. I have followed Anna Maria in Sweden from her birth to when she moved to Norway. If I understand the records I have found she didn't actually leave Sweden until 1915. I think I must be misunderstanding something. Please help me through this confusion.

Your last record from Sweden is a list of people whose residence is unknown (obetfintlig - persons whose residence is not known). It appears that she and her mother were placed on the list in 1907. The 1915 date is probably the date when the parish officials discovered where they had gone to (Norway), not necessarily when they left.
You are correct that the middle record does show when she asked that her name be removed from the Norwegian state church. The date looks to be 9 November 1910 and she should have already been baptized into the "Mormon" church by then. The note to the far right says she was "udmeldt etter muntlig begjæring - deregistered after (an) oral request".
Your Norwegian records are from Berg parish in Østfold which is bordering on Halden (Fredrikshald), so I am pretty confident that her LDS baptism record will be on the same roll of microfilm that the other Scandinavian mission records have been. I will be sure to look that up on Tuesday at the FamilySearch Library.

I knew I was missing something. This is only the second time I have come across these kinds of records. Thank you for helping me understand!!

This should be helpful in your search. Family story says she was baptized when she was 13 which is about what FamilySearch has recorded. 24 October 1903.
