Weekend Events

Hei hei! I have come to the realization that I really need to have a better system for keeping up with blog posts, so what I am thinking is I will post once a week, about the events of the week, and any more backtracking that needs to be done (I have some more stories I need to put up) I shall try and do in the next week before I post about this week we are in currently. I’m not sure how clear all that was, or whether it really matters for me to explain it all, but I did, because I felt like it.
Moving right along! Last week was a good week, but I was rather lazy I must admit. Thursday was a bit of a break for me from life in general because I accidently got left behind from outreach, so I stayed at the dorm, did some laundry, and then went for a nice long walk. There is a big beautiful church about a 45 minute walk from the school, with a big graveyard, so I walked there and sat for a while, and caught some glimpses of the sunset. While I really like mountains, they do have the downside of obstructing one’s view of the sunrises and sunsets. Friday was a quite day also; only too classes in the morning, then cleaning duties, and then freedom! In the afternoon I went for a walk and climbed a hill that would be classified as a mountain in Nova Scotia with Andrés, and then walked down for worship at the church (I need to take some pictures at church sometime), and afterwards had a very cold walk up the hill... but it was a nice relaxing day. Saturday morning I awoke still with a horrendous headache from the day before, and so I opted out of church and drank 5 cups of tea instead. In the afternoon, we went for another walk (I certainly do walk enough here, good grief) and then had some good times playing with the electric fence.
Then arrived the day of Sun. This day brought a wonderful new thing to my life – Polish Perogies! When I finally got up, showered etc., I began the process by peeling about a million potatoes. Sarah joined me a short while later and began on the onions, which induced many lachrymose moments for those of us who were within a ten mile radius of them. Then at last Agnes came back (the leader of this whole thing, as she is the Polish one) and we had some direction. We also recruited Rob and Andrés over the course of the day, so eventually, after about 4 hours of preparation, we were finally able to reap the benefits of our labour. I pity anyone who thinks frozen, store-bought perogies are the real thing, because after having tasted an authentic Polish one, I don’t know if I could ever go back to those masquerading ones.
Also on Sunday, our evangelism series in Drammen began! It all ran rather smoothly, and we had several guests show up. These meetings occur on Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday nights, and run for about an hour. I don’t have to preach for any of them, which works out fine for me, as I have a tendency to become ridiculously nervous when I am up front. Rob had the first one, and my roommate is preaching on Tuesday. Sarah has a topic to present as well; Marcus and I got out of it somehow. Works for me.
Time for me to go be busy now... ♥
