This has been a very hot week.
It's about the same temperature as in Sweden (34 C) but more humid so we 're all sitting staring and doing as little as possible till the sun goes down and then we start to feel alive again and ready to do something useful.

It has also been a good week in many ways.
We're having a friend of Lena from Sweden visiting, a friend from Bibleschool 17 years ago.
Great to just spend time, mainly we're being really lazy but every now and again we're finding our strength to go down to the beach :-)

Kenneth and Lena has also had a good workweek. We have started a habit of going out every Wednesday to talk to people about our faith. This week we ended up talking to a friend of Marjo (they where out having a coffee) and she prayed to welcome Jesus in to her life, so we are rejoicing with the angels :-)

This week has also had it's frustrations...
We finally got a visit from the internet guy who came to install our internet. It only took him 9 weeks to get here :-) and now it's still not working, every now and again we are given some hope but just for some minuets and then the connection is broken again...

But right now it's working and the wind is blowing a cool nice breeze.
We have a big bag of sunripe tomatoes from our friends garden.
And maybe this afternoon we are going back to the beach....
So life is good! And God is faithfull.

Our own apartment

Now we have got our own apartment. We've been sleaping in the church facilities so far, it was ok and we could stay there for free but it was very noisy as it is located right on the bar and disco street. Our new apartment is very good in many ways, we have extra room so we can host people that come and visit us like family, friends, guests to the church, other missionairies. We wanted a place that we could use for many purposes.

Our balcony

Right now Lenas family is here so they've been our first guests. They leave tomorrow wednesday and they will also take our car back to Sweden, so now we need to find a new one. We want one that's practical in many ways. We're thinking of something like a 7 seated vehicle so we can drive around and pick up people for the Sunday service, cause on the island the public comunications are not so good, there are not so many buses and some people that live on the other side of the island have difficoulties to get to the church.

Last Sunday we had an "familie dinner" a picnic bbq with the church. It was a lot of fun. We all gathered at pastor Dimitri and his wifes Marjos home and ate then we went to a beach for a swim.
