Two weeks on Thassos

Sorry you guys it's been so long! We don't have any internet at home and we've been buzzy with the conference. But now we made it to an internet place.

We have been on the island almost two weeks now. Neither have we had time making our rooms in order. Lena has put up some pictures we brought but the rest is a mess :-)

As we said we had the conference now, three hectic days!! Kenneth has done the recording and some worship and Lena has translated for some Norwegian friends (that we met on the conference last year). And in between the services we had to take care of our new family member!

When we went to get our internet the man behind the counter said he had this abandon kitten that needs a home... He's really cute but he sure needs a lot of attention. He sounded like a parrot when we got him so we were about to call him Parrot, but then we thought that Parrot in Swedish can also be ara so then his name was Ara, and from there it became Harald... So now he is Harald “Ara” Samsung (for he came in a Samsung box).

In the conference we had speakers from England, Sweden, Germany and Greece. The German who's a missionary in Turkey touched us deeply, he told about the situation there and encourage us to live fully for Christ. His brother in law was one of three Christians that was murdered there some years ago.

Last day of the conference we had outreach in the villages of Thassos. That was a good time. We strongly believe that most of them we talked to and prayed for were really touched.

Tod (a missionary from USA) and Kenneth prayed with one woman for salvation.

It also gave us some understanding for the need in the area. As Nicos our young brother from the fellowship said: many people on the island believe in God but they need to learn to trust their life to him.

We've got some new contacts and invitations to come and help, so hopefully we will be able to do something for Gods congregation here in this country, please continue to pray for this.
