Ellen,Kristin and Siv Helene visiting
my grans house in Sao Paulo

It was sad to leave Jenny and Marit , after a very nice week togueter.
It was very nice to receive visit from three cousy Norwegian girls in Sao Paulo, on Saturday, 8th Desember. They came to my grandpas house in Sao , where we had luch togueter. the girls said that they look like norwegians "bestforeldrene- grandparents", something that probably is related with the generation :)We also went to Paulist avenue, a kind 5th avenue n Sao Paulo. after , a short trip to my uncle Edu house, and we finished travelling to Mogi das Cruzes, were they stayed.

I met also a couple that have been to Norway at Hald, the same school as me. and I met a missionary couple , they are cousy norwegians, and they are living there. The next weekend i am going to Sao Paulo,and it will be nice!!!

SOUTH IS THE PLACE

Last week i did not had classes so i decided to travel southover

I arrived at Florianopolis on last monday, where I stayed a fell hours..I just taked a buss to to blumenal, where i met Haniel and Mireile, old ABU friends..

The time there was very nice, and i really liked the felowship, and the times we had togheter, with two bible groups and some times going out in the city.


On thusday i traveled to Curitiba, where I had the opportunity to visit Conrado( he was at Hald 1th year), Mateus ( studant this year) and I had the opportunity to met Mona, from Karmooy, norway..


it was very fun , specialy the trip to Serra da Graciosa!

In the end, I traveled at saturday to Florianopolis, where me , Mateus and Father enjoyed churrasco ( real barbecue) and the beach...

It was a vey nice time

Blumenal ,a place that was German colonized : Good beer

Florianopolis, and the amazing topographi







Graciosa: a very nice place!!!

Here we go!

I feel brazilian..
a little bit ..
it is better then before, but not good iet.
-thanks God for all your help in this painfull process.-
after 24 days here, i feel brazilian. not just a brazilian, something strange, but at least i feel something:
after 3 weeks of lack of feelings, lack of motiviation.
i am not saying: i am fine in Brazil:I am just going... i will be fine in heaven, togueter with Jesus, but that will have to wait!i think
somedays it is hard to sleep. some days I just wanna sleep: you see , I am getting brazilian...

thats life

happiness!!

It is very impressive to see that, beside all my weacknesses, God is in control over human history, including mine.Im coming back to be a brazilian, with norwegians aspects.I am trying to keep what is good from that culture, but s very hard to think about it right now. I have to say THANK U VERY MUCH ALL U FRIENDS THAT in one way or another helped me, in prayers in smiles, beeing with me!

I always have to come back to the basics of faith: from this life we are not going to bring much!

To the next, only Faith, hope and love will serve.Let us focus on that for our lifes

my norwegian friends, i miss u !

see u soon :)

back in Brazil

Hei Guys

I am back, but my spirit definitively still in Norway!
My time here is hard, everething is very strange, but day by day i am getting reused to my home culture!
I do not recomend to stay so long far way, it is very painfull and strange, but it is for sure the price to pay in such intense experience!
By now, i am trying to be positive, to do my best and help the others ( promisses done at Hald school time) , but mainly to be positive
It will be very helpfull if u reminde me in prayers, because I need them!
It is very warm here, and it is hard to get used.. in Ribeirao Preto , city where I live, since i arrived, i havent had any clouthy day: very chocking for a bergen guy

see u soon
