Thassos in January

A year ago we made our first trip together to Thassos, Greece.
It was the first visit Lena made to the region (she needed to see the country she might move to when getting married to Kenneth).
Here are some pictures from our trip. As you can see it was a very cloudy, foggy and grey week. Sometimes you couldn't see more then few meters ahead but still we enjoyed ourself alot. It is a beautiful island in any wether. And wounderful people!The main city on the island, Limenas. In the summer a home for many turists, this time of the year a more slow and quit city. Every here and there you find memorys from long gone history. A history that the Greek people have all right to be proud of.

One day we took a car and took a trip around the island.
There is bearly any wildlife left on the island but lots of goats!

God was using a lot of marble when creating Thassos.
Part from the turism the marble and olives are important sorces of income for the island.

Our days at Thassos

We have had another week in Macedonia and feel really excited about what God want us to do down there. I more and more understand that most likely nothing will be as I have planed it... First of all I have to adjust to the Greek way of doing things... It's more about relationships and spending time than efficiency and organisation. I have to allow things to take time. We have a thought of a café and I really love to see it come to pass. But sometimes it feels overwhelming, how will we make it happen? But! all things are possible for him who belives. Halleluja! As long as we walk in what we belive God has told us to do, he will also have his hand of protection and guidens for us. "And we know that all things work together for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose." Rom 8:28

In Thassos we were hosted by a Albanian who live with a german on this Greece island. They have a peacefull and beautiful place just few hundred meters from the beach :-) We stayed in Thassos for three days. Spent some time with our friends in the fellowship.

When we in Sweden where getting ready for the trip Lena didn't feel so motivated to go. Would rather stay back. But when Mario came to meet us at the ferry we where home!

Gordon was of great help taking us to some officials and making it possible for us to see a facility that is for rent. This was very encouraging even though we don't think this is our place. Now we at least have something more concrete to think of. There is a nother place, a big abandon house, that we love to have but we don't know how to find the owner or how to assume it. But God willing... everything is possible.

Fresh fruit from the garden. Ah lovely.

Another visit in Macedonia

Tour of the island

Thassos is a wounderful, beautiful island! Lots of green and nice sites.
And what struck me is the peace that one feel on the island.
