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.

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.

Oh it looks absolutely stunning over there, love your apartement!

The nature looks breathtaking and I found myself sitting here with my mouth open just staring at the pictures with a "wow" the whole time :)

I hope you have a wonderful time over there (you seem to do), and I really really do hope me and Casper can visit you some time. Just have to save some money first (might even ask sister Sara to join us just to get to have some time with her aswell). One can dream right?! ;)
But, truth is that it would be fantastic to come over there some time.. I'll keep dreaming for a while then :D


I hope to hear from you soon, take care and all! Loads of love from me (Casper says hi aswell). //Nina
