Wafels

This was such a beautiful night I can never forget. I was so touched by the fact that some drunkards joined the team to serve out wafels. They came here drunk,and left sober. WAOH!


We had free TV recording from these precious souls.
This lady was good company,though she was doing her own flower business. I believe she never remained the same.

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 Ålesund, 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.

Back street gal

In front of my flat, block 24 just after coming back from Norwegian classes. Was scary that day. I was not really sure I could cope with the speed of my classmates.

"Grow and Share our lives"

Having a good time after a Laget meeting. So many things to do, like some playing cards, others sipping coffee or tea, others chatting away with so much laughter and of course others just trying to keep awake in order to be part of the events unfolding one by one.

Cell meetings
My cell group mates. They are amazing. I'm so lucky to be part of their lives.

Reading the Norwegian text and directly translating it into English. Too much work, yet these guys sacrifice so much, so that I can feel included in the cell group. Thanks guys!
Miriam being convinced to accept a deal. I did the part of a waitress; filling the cups of the competitors with tea.
At NTNU -Dragvol where some of the Laget members go to school. Had lunch together with three of them.

W e purpose to share our lives with the students by spending more time with them whenever an opportunity presents itself.
He is a wonderful friend, always high. In the above picture, day he played the bean cards, he claimed that i had put something in his tea and that it had made him "high". That's just him. Always "high."
I wonder what happened here. Wasn't me. Maybe the food got finished so fast.
Any way, just know we enjoyed the moment of chatting away that lunch time at Dragvol.
