Howdy ya´ll!

It is already February and it is crazy how time has flown by since Christmas and the start of the new year. But I am quite ok with it, since I am longing more and more for the summer and the sandy beaches and clear blue sky. Aaaah.. Of course, I am glad we have had a long and white winter, but my love for the summer cannot be changed.

This coming summer has only one planned event so far and that is our summer trip with the youth to the missionfield. This year we´ll be going to Estonia on an 11-day long tour and we have now started to plan and pepare for the great event. Next to that, I do hope for sunny days in Norway. If not, I need to catch a flight South before school starts again in August.. Then I´ll have just 1 year left of my BA - HURRAY!

I guess the latest news from our lives is that we now have a cat! Yes, a little babycat called Theo who is growing day by day and making more and more noise where ever he is. But he is so sweet and a very social cat. He might be rebellious as a teen at times, but mostly sleeping in the weirdest places and positions :) It will be much better when the snow melts and he can start to spend the days outside. So far, he has had some encounters with the snow and has enjoyed it.

Next week, we´ll be heading for Oppdal with 40 youth from our church to visit a conference there and go skiing for 3 days. Aaaaah, it will be great!!! :) We still haven´t had any trip to the mountains this winter, so this will be some great time away from all (even though it is a lot of work with many teens 24/7).

Otherwise, life is good! It is great to see how God is doing new things among his people and stirring up the youth to love and serve Him. The last month has been very special for our youth, where the meetings and gatherings have been sooo influenced by God´s spirit and presence. We are just standing amazed at what He is doing in our lives and we cannot wait to see where this ends. We serve a great and faithful God who loves us, cares for us and longs to be with us. What a great joy! To know Him and all that He is.

Calle said it so well last Saturday:
"Michael Jackson said "This is it" and then he died.
 Jesus said he is it, and he is still alive!"

Be blessed!!!
