Silence...

Has been long, but it has come due to vacation for the past weeks and getting back to routines and answering e-mails has caused there not to be an update here in quite a while. All that aside I had a wonderful vacation! Kendra and I had a great time together... She got to see Kristiansand. We got a killer deal on a trip to Denmark - 4 people, 4 bikes, round-trip ferry ride, and 2 nights at a water park hotel where our room was a small apartment and our ocean view amazing -- all for $50 a person! So we took a 14 mile bike trip one day and had an absolutely fabulous time together! Then we went to Oslo where we originally planned on sightseeing and visiting a good friend of mine and her family, but God changed our plans and used my friend's father (who didn't know us!) to prophesy healing and direction into our lives which kept us up to all hours of the night and caused us to miss one of the only trains back into downtown Oslo. But all that said, God totally blessed our time together more than we thought he would... We knew that He would do something awesome in our time together, but we didn't realize how huge it truly would be!

And to top it all off we got to share the Gospel with some people, AND I spoke in Danish for the first time while we were in Denmark. Since Danish and Norwegian are very similar to each other Danes and Norwegians understand each other. At the same time, the Danish people sound like they have a potato "stuck" in their throat when they speak, and it is extremely difficult to understand them sometimes! I got the potato stuck in my throat and the pronounciation of the Danish "As" and "Æs" down as much as I could, and I explained to the waiter at one of the restaraunts how we wanted to order our food and how we wanted to split the bill since he didn't understand English nor Norwegian, as he was an immigrant. I was really in complete shock at how easily the Danish flowed and wondered how this strange language was coming out of my mouth. Then I was amazed at how much easier Danish is to speak! ha ha Good times... It was a proud and fun moment for me.

Well, I am off to finish working, since I have been on my lunch break typing this up to everyone. Easter vacation starts tomorrow and lasts until Monday. The sky is blue, the weather perfect, and I am content. Have a Happy Easter, and be blessed!
