Ny i Norge

I had very interesting norsk classmates. So much fun, grumbling, changing of teachers, eating cake, watching films, sharing food..... extremely diversified kind of studying. In this picture, 11 countries are represented; Iran, Uganda, Rwanda, Ethiopia, Russia, India, Poland, Vietnam, Norway, Brazil and Korea

Visiting Laget

After the norsk course, we headed for Volda to visit Laget. The visit included presentations of our experience at Hald, FOCUS (Uganda) and information about financial support for IFES' two projects of the year(2008). i.e. Christian Union in Asebadjan and Child project in Uganda.These pretty girls hosted us that night. They were so kind that we felt so much at home.


The ferries were such a relief because traveling for 9 hours by bus was a bit sickening to imagine after a long time of not traveling here and there.


At Ă…lesund, waiting to board the plane back home(Trondheim). Since we had not caught enough sleep at night, It was almost inevitable to avoid dosing off.

Relax

Stress has become a common problem among many who have occupations that last for atleast 10 hours. It's often hard to balance time between hard work and rest.
However, it is so healthy to make relaxation, exercises or leisure part of the weeks programme.
Less or non concentration games are relaxing 'cause they take the mind off brain-draining issues.
Enjoying the company of others over a glass of juice, water or a cup of tea, coffee, or a bowl of delicious soup.




Learning new skills that would otherwise not be acquired in the midst of a tight schedule-filled life.

Family

Families are a treasure. Successful leadership lies in having strong family support and and their well being.

Even in establishing a church, it's families that contribute the greatest because they provide a sense of unity, love and peace.

Thank God for what ever family you belong to, for even if things may sometimes seem so disgusting, that you wish you belonged to this or that family, take heart and just tell God about it 'cause He has created and exactly how to take care of it.
