I am in Finland by the way!!!!
We got here yesterday!! and it is beautiful...
but rather cold...
We went snowboarding last night which was very fun... However it was -18 Celcius!
Today the whole team went to get their hair done ( whether cut or colored)
I simply got mine cut and styled... as I enjoy my hair color....
hehe
We are having team days at Jonna's house ( our finnish girl!!!!! )
and her family has left the house for our use...
In every finnish home there is a sauna.... so haha! tonight! SAUNA!!!
and we have been blessed so much!!!
The church back in Bromolla blessed us tremendously...
We went to their 2nd hand shop and anything we wanted we could have....
They took us bowling, they took us out to eat several times, We went ice skating on the lake at night!
God's blessings are wonderful! every activity we have had on days off... people have taken care of the financial aspect... for the whole team!
which means that we have all been able to enjoy it!!!
Tomorrow we have dance practice... which I am really looking forward to having since we have not had one since Oslo... hehe
Finland... a new country... new language.... I am so thankfull that one of us speaks it....
because it is way different from the other scandinavian languages... which I am starting to understand quite some...
God is amazing... He always comes through.... he always sends encouragement when you need it through people or events.... and it is beautiful!
okay i am off... I need to translate my update into French~!!!
hehe

| Monday was a GREAT DAY off!!
Man usually we just end up chillin and of course relaxing...
But today we have done so much but it was so much fun!
I slept in quite late and then after PT and lunch with the Pastor and family we decided to go on a walk... So The Pastor, Brandon, Andreas, Rudi, Jonna and I went for a long walk which ended up being over 3 hours.. hehe
We went towards the lake and when we got there Sven Erik ( the Pastor) told us it was frozen! so we walked all around on the lake! We have major faith hehe...
But it was crazy to see the cracks everywhere on the ice...
Later on we went to pick the girls up and we went bowling!
That was way fun! I got quite a few strikes so I was happy... It was nice to have some competion! I love the fact that we have "playful" or you would say athletic people on the team.... almost any kind of sport they are up to it!
That is so cool! About an hour after that we went back out to the lake and it was dark... we had a fire going ( NO not on the lake) and we had hot-dog's, hot cocoa and ice skates!!! hehe Yep we went ice skating...
Then once it got rather cold we went over to the Pastor's house for Fika and the Top Ten Silly Songs from Vegitales! Renata, Katrine and OleHenric... you are supposed to have seen that video with them last year! HAHAHA
anyhow we are now just chillin and after 4 we are going to this pool/sauna/jacuzzi/ fitness center for free!!! MUAHHAHAHAA
anyhow... hmm on Saturday night we had the best stage ! It was huge! over 6 meters deep, and 10-12 wide with black cloths on the side (many entrances) smoke machine and tons of lights! It was sweet and you should have seen the backstage! WOW you JR girls would have loved it hehe huge mirrors coverin gboth walls with lights on the sides, showers, etc...
yeah so that was the coolest thing...
Better than that was the 27 people we saw get saved on Friday night! Out of a crowd of 70 people! That's the kind of stuff that I remember the most!
The prayer meeting we had before the concert was tremendous!
Such a breakthrough!
What I forgot to mention about that concert was a miracle.... There was a girl who's leg's muscle was not long enough for her to flex her foot and that hindered her a lot for dancing and soccer ( it had been that way all her life) and she had just received Christ.... After being prayed for she was able to flex her foot way more than ever before! Her muscle grew!!! It was amazing! God is just so wonderful and I love it when he heals people! Through that people who may not understand it otherwise know that he cares about every area of their lives
So God is incredible and working anmazingly in Scandinavia!
We are now In Sweden ( we arrived today...)
I love God so much.... man he is the one that satisfies me !
more than anything!
His presence is better than anything in the world!
okay i'm off....
it's been a long and marvellous day! | | |
| God is wonderful.....
We had a great weekend at the winter Conference in Randers...
We ended up having the concert on Sunday morning cause of techincalities.... ( i think that may be a new thing.. concert on Sunday morning!!)
anyhow The weekend was great....
I was able to organize some volleyball games on the Saturday afternoon... which was well fun ( uhoh I sound british.... dad will like that)
then after that we had a girls meeting with Anne and she had each girl on our team preach for about 10 minutes.... It was so great as we were able to give so much...
and each share what was on our heart...
We were able to have dinner with them and just have fun and then that night Stephan preached about Schools being missions fields... and for you JR people you know the acting that goes along with that...
So our team transformed into actors and it was sooo funny because he assigned the roles to the perfect people! and yeah he had us translate so I was translating into French and Jonna into Finnish...
hehe
Then the next morning concert! MUAHAHAHAHAHA
When I actually sat down to think about this past weekend... the people in the youth conference have seen more sides of me than most of my friends....
They saw my volleyball side ( apparently it's pretty "agressive") hey I like sports and really get into it...
They heard me preach, most of my friends haven't really....
They saw me act... full out... hehe only if you have been in JR or some in France have seen me do that
and then they saw me dance in the concert...
and of course pray for people and such.....
That's pretty funny.... but yeah... I guess certain situations bring things out in people...
anyhow Today is a day off... we are just chilling and will probably go to teh city...
tomorrow we have a concert...
hmm then on saturday we are in Sweden
and the week after that we are in Finland!
YYYYAAAAAAYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!
