We arrived from Honningsvag in the morning... Now we could see all the beauty around us and again we passed tunnels.



When we were nearly to Karasjok we saw a small cafe. We decided to stop and have a drink break (we used the coffee money which Bea gave us. Thanks Bea!!!). We were also able to shop in the attached strip mall. Off course most of things were left on the shelves, but we did find a few items we couldn't live without.

When we arrived in Karasjok our host directed us to the church. It was near the gas station “Statoil”, we were happy because we all have Statoil-cups. And in the evening we went to the pastor's house. Our time with the pastor Tom, his wife Inger-Maria and three wonderful sons was well spent.



On Tuesday (20.01) we had planning and had to work through some things... And in the evening we had two confirmation classes where David showed the presentation on Genesis 1, two testimonies (Tanya's and Lenneke's), drama “Heart” + explanation. And on the next day we did the same program twice. So, it was our first experience to work with Sami people and with confirmants.



On Wednesday we had wonderful possibility to visit Sami museum (but it was very small museum – only 3 rooms). But any way we got some information about Sami culture and made a lot of pictures.





After museum we went to Parliament building (it's made in Sami style) to get Internet. And couple hours we were out of this world...

On Thursday morning we had meeting at school together with New Generation ministry. Where Andrei and David gave their testimonies. Then YoungBo and his biiiiiiiig family invited us for dinner with real Korean chili food. But it was a wonderful dinner with a lot of kid's noise!!!

On Friday first of all we cleaned up the church to make it as we are not leaving here at all, because at 12 am high school came to hear some teaching about Jesus, church, baptism and etc. from Inger-Maria. We just were there. And in the evening we had youth meeting ...with girls. We played some competition games, then we had worship, preaching from Andrei (he is our team preacher) and drama “Cross”. Afterwards we eat waffles and just talked with each other... it was good to know them better!

Oh, Saturday!!! On this day God taught us to be VERY flexxxxxxible and just serve to confirmants. So, we spent whole day in a State church and it was a long day for us! For us it was opportunity to talk with young people and share about living relations with Jesus. We just spent time with them in chatting, showing our drama “Cross”, telling about our ministry... There were 121 confirmants: 46 from Karasjok, 42 from Kautokeino and 33 fron Tana.







Sunday – it was our last day in Karasjok. On this meeting Leif Braathen came to preach. So, it was like a part of our Borgen-home came to us. Also we showed our drama “Cross”.
Afterwards we filled up our Statoil-cups and went to...
