MM europe 2007

The Missionary Meeting in Europe 2007, that was last week:) (I'm sorry, i don't have a picture of everyone. This is just the volunteers in Europe.) In total we were 18 people at High Leigh Conference center. The team from London(7 people), the volunteers in Paris (2 people), the missionaries and their children in Paris (7 people) and then Aaslaug and Aasmund from the NMS in Norway.
It was fun getting to know the other missionaries in Europe and hear about their work and the challenges they're facing. We did some group work and shared some ideas and experiences. It was a good week and it was great being together and doing something different!This is High Leigh where we had the MM. It was beautiful and peaceful, until we came:)



This is Ragnhild, Ingeborg (both Paris) and Anne Marie.



The second day we went to Camebridge for a picnic! This is Ragnhild, and in the background you see King's College.
If you look into the sunglasses, you see Rada. The owner of the "superkool" sunglasses, is Ingeborg.
I had a great time! Thanks to everyone there:)

Rainbow Club 2006

People have been asking me about easter, what did i do? Well, i was working!
Here at St. Stephen's they have a big holiday club at easter, and it was great! We had about 150 children from age five to ten. On top of that there was sixty people in the team of helpers! It was four fantastic days with lots of music, puppets, games and most important, happy children:)

The children's worker, Bernie French, and his wife Jean did a wonderful job!! I'm so happy that i got to be a part of that week! The theme was "I'm a puppet, get me out here!" The theme was inspired by an english tv show taking part in a jungle. So, the church was made into a jungle, is was fanatastic!
We were not allowed to take any pictures, because of child safety rules. So i'll just show you my badge:) Just to pat myslef on the shoulder, i made ALL of the badges (martha helped with a few by the way). I never wanna see a badge machine again!!

It was amazing to see the children jumping around and having fun in the way that only they can:)

My home away from home

Here they are, The Barnetts. Or almost, Kate is not on the picture since she's away on Uni. From the left you see Robyn, Martin and Guy. This picture was taken in Kew Gardens, a beautiful place with lots of flowers and plants from all over the world. We had a wonderful picnic out in the sun.
This is a great family to live in and i am enjoying every day:) Thank you guys!!

A short holiday

As most of you know, i was home for a short trip last week. I had a wonderful time! I got to meet family, friends and people in my congregation. Going home for a short time is never a vacation though, there's just too much going on. But, i'd never swap it for anything else:) The picture above is from a beach at home. Me and my sister went there with my nephew and my niece, it was great!
My dad can fix anything. This easter it was my brother's car (again), that needed some help from dad. Even though he doesn't like it when things are out of order, he does enjoy it when he has electrical or mechanical stuff to play with:) My dad is under the car, the guy in the front is my brother, Ole.

I got to see my friend Torunn when i was back. We became friends when we were in fifth grade, and still are. Next year we're taking it to another level, i'm moving in with her:) Looking forward to it!

When popping by Torunn's family, she let me join in with the gardening. Being the nice person i am, i dug up a root in their flower bed. It was hard work, but i think i earned some respect, hehe:)

The same day, Torunn and her boyfriend took me horse riding. This is one of his mates, Rune, that stopped by. You can see him trying to get the sweet little horsie to walk, I'm afraid it didn't work very well:)
I had a great time at home! At the same time a i'm really enjoying the sunny days here in Twickenham, it's lovely!!

Martha!

Over a month ago i was lucky to have Martha over. We both lived at Madagascar last year, so we had a lot of catching up to do. Since i have been terrible at updating lately, i never put out a picture from her visit, shame on me!! It was great being together again, i loved it!! THANK YOU MARTHA!!!!

I'm back in the blogging world!!

Long time no see:)

Yes, i'm SORRY!!! Where have i been, what have i done? Well, well, let's move on, hehe! It's not that things don't happen in my life, it's just that i don't have time to tell:)

Let me share some of the things that have happened that people might not know;

• I have moved! Yes, it's been over a month now, and i LOVE it! It's a fantastic family of four + me, i have a jolly good time with them.
• My friend Martha came to visit, i have to show you some photos of that. THANKS for coming my dear!!
• I've got a summer job, yes, back in the factory driving the lovely road sweeper (feiebil).
• I've been to Norway! Came back on Tuesday. Went back for my mum's birthday, and she didn't know about it. Is was very successful:)
• I have applied for school next year! Kristiansand, here i come! And poor Torunn, she's gonna share her flat with me, hihi! Looking forward to it babe!
• I've followed the crowd and joined "Facebook" like everyone else, i don't like admitting it, but it's wicked!

I can't promise new pics soon, but i'm hoping!

(and no, i'm not keeping it white, it's just that the black is a bit depressing, don't you think?)
