The U.S. Team Arrives!

As soon as we returned from Uganda, we had visitors from the U.S. for an idea of Chuck's: 21 days of prayer for the city of Trondheim and our work with the universities. We were blessed to have Chuck and his wife Sally, their daughter Emily, Dan and Elisa- friends of ours from Duluth who are now living in Kansas City, MO at the International House of Prayer training school, Dan and Sarah- also friends from Duluth: Dan did the UMD Chi Alpha internship with Cortney and was on staff with us both the following year, and Nadia- a friend from Nicaragua doing full-time campus ministry there and who interned with UMD Chi Alpha with Brett. How amazing God is that He would bring all of us together again in this place to pray for Norway! It was a really encouraging time for us as we joined them for prayer and worship nights and just enjoyed hanging out with American friends! We really haven't been forgotten over here! :) They spent full days prayer-walking and making connections with Norwegian Christians. God spoke so many things to them and to us and we are encouraged for the year ahead- we believe God is really going to do some breakthroughs in the next year in the city and at the universities! Thanks for coming everyone- we were truly blessed and miss you all already!

It's been too long Nadia! The students of Nicaragua are truly blessed to have you- and so are we!

What a joy to see great friends from home again...we realize yet again how much we miss them!

The day before Dan and Sarah left, we saw these two wild moose 15 yards away! Great picture Dan J.!



Opera at Nidaros Cathedral

Emily, Linn, Kelly, and Cortney went to their friend's dress rehearsal performance of an opera that took place both outside and inside the famous cathedral in Tronhdeim- it was amazing (and free)!
The cathedral was lit up with many different colors with an outdoor orchestra as well. What a backdrop!
