hi to my faithful readers and to the sporadic visitors,

i'm got back from tromso last night! it was really good, nice to be in a city and close to shops. i got to eat at BURGER KING! AH, i love you dear whopper jr and i also got CHOCOLATE MILK....lovely! we were together with a small bible school learning about evangelism. and on thursday and friday we out out to the streets to practice some of what we were learning. SCARY, well, it actually ended up being pretty good. our teacher, vince esterman, is an evangelist from paris (well, originally from australia....) and his method of street evangelism is using a sketch board. so pretty much what we did was he would tell a story using his sketch board (see pictures below) and then us students would just listen until he finished his story then talk to the people who stopped to listen to his stories & give them invitations to church. 2 ladies that we met on the street came to church and accepted Christ into their lives! it was so cool, exciting and amazing to be a part of!

ok, so i just tried for the last 1/2hr to upload pictures and it's NOT WORKING!!! *shakes fist at computer* sorry peeps....but i will be back.

Hey Mel, great to hear from you and all that God is doing! That's so exciting...
Thanks for checking out my blog too... by the time you get home I'm sure you could make a cookbook out of all the recipes I'll post..

Do you have any new Norweigan (sp?) recipes to bring home??

Anyway, God bless!
(I know what you mean about the problems with posting pics... I've been having quite the tough time too... but I have a pic up now) :)

Take care!!
