Home again
Yesterday evening we reached our home safely after one month in beautiful India. We have had a very enjoyable stay in the great nation of India. We met a lot of wonderful people and we could see with our own eyes that the Spirit of the Supreme God is at work in this vast continent with so many people groups.
Last Sunday in Jaipur we were taken to be with one of the eleven congregations in covenant community. It was a moving time as we listened to the testimonies of the people who were encountering God in their every day life. One boy told us how his dumb uncle had been prayed for, and was able to speak normally after their prayer. Others told how they had experienced the Lord's protection in difficult and dangerous situations. I was tremendously blessed by a happy lady giving thanks to the Lord for a piece of soap that she was given, this marvelous soap made her smell like an orange and she was extremely excited and thankful! Bijut told a wonderful story of how the Lord had used him to pray for an ill person when he was visiting a friend at the hospital. The doctors didn't know what to do for this man, but he was instantly healed after Bijut's prayer. Several children told how the Lord had helped them at school and at exams.
But now we are back home in Norway again. It is always good to be home. When we arrived in Bergen we were welcomed by Jakob and Sara, our grandchildren, and Josef our son. Elizabeth, our daughter-law had prepared a nice dinner for us. It was a very good welcome!
The temperature is very nice, around six degrees Celsius, but the days have become very much shorter during our absence and is getting shorter and shorter day by day until Christmas. This morning we attended the prayer meeting at the church and enjoyed a good breakfast together with the brothers.
The rest of the day I have spent going through my mail and I have been very much encouraged by some feedback from people we met in India. I have lit the log fire-place and are enjoying Indian temperature in the living room at the moment!
