Lazy days...

Today has been somewhat of a lazy day... Tylene and I had the opportunity to go to Oslo this weekend with John Henry and Lisbeth, who were going up to attend a wedding there. So we took the opportunity to go with them and spend all day Saturday sightseeing. We had a really good time, first of all because it was the two of us, second of all, because it wasn't hot out, and third of all, because there were barely any people at the museums. We came back last night from church about 8:00 and were both really tired. I got up late today because I couldn't get up any earlier! I had to go back to sleep!

The fellesmøte went well last week. I thought there would be more of an evangelistic thrust to the meetings, but what I saw the Lord do in the meetings that I went to was phenomenal. I was only able to attend the first two meetings. The first evening the speaker spoke about how we need to be honest with each other when we are going through difficulties, so that we can support each other and be victorious. The second evening, he spoke about how we need to let God take care of our pain, so that we can let go of bitterness, forgive, and move on. I heard that on the third evening, he spoke about how we need to encourage each other and work in the gifts God has given us that we could be a healthy church body. All in all, what he spoke about is “right on” with many Christians I know in the city – how they need to let go of their pain, be healed, and start doing what God has made them to do. And if we have a healthy church, we will have a healthy focus on evangelism! Thank you for your prayers. I could sense that the Holy Spirit was very strong in the meetings I attended.

Next week, I will be on a live webcast to my home church, Pathway Christian Fellowship! I will be there for both services for a few minutes... It should be a ton of fun to see you all! Talk to you soon... Gretchen
