All these wonderful photos are so nice and make me feel like I have met your sweet family and friends. Oh, and Serina is such a beauty and a joy! What a wonderful daughter. <BR/><BR/>I pray your mother continues to do a little better each day.<BR/><BR/>Sending hugs across the miles,<BR/>VickiVickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08601718675860240867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37174210.post-42375505066869384342008-03-17T06:56:00.000+00:002008-03-17T06:56:00.000+00:00Dear Saija,what a rare coincidence.

I so wanting to meet you and you being that "close".<BR/>Are you sure that your traveling route could not be redirected via Bergen or Stavanger on your way back to Canada? Then we could easily pick you up to come and stay in Haugesund just for a couple of days?????<BR/>That would make me more happy than you could ever believe.<BR/>I know you've gotta think fast, but nevertheless you can think well.<BR/>Yours FelisolFelisol https://www.blogger.com/profile/12240191154632603841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37174210.post-4184814718057451452008-03-17T02:07:00.000+00:002008-03-17T02:07:00.000+00:00i always love it when you share your life and time...i always love it when you share your life and times ... the Lord has blessed you so ... and the bigger blessing is that you know it & share it!<BR/><BR/>:o)<BR/><BR/>i will probably be " next door " to you at the end of the month ... but it will only be a quick trip (7 days), so i will just be attending my cousin's funeral and visiting thge aunts & uncles there ... so close, yet so far!<BR/><BR/>((hugs)) to you & the fam ...Saijahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15988592547620469909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37174210.post-30861455104597944192008-03-16T08:34:00.000+00:002008-03-16T08:34:00.000+00:00Dear Amrita,a heartedly welcome to the Pilgrim pal...Dear Amrita,<BR/>a heartedly welcome to the Pilgrim pals, with your genuine, deep felt engagement you will be an enrichment for all your fellow Wanderers.<BR/><BR/>My Mom is getting better, just a little, day by day.<BR/>I think she would like us to spend even more time training with her, but the day has only got 24 hours, and one's gotta eat and sleep as well.<BR/>I surely miss your maiden and gardener.<BR/>We are coping pretty well though.<BR/>today is what we call Palm Sunday, in remembrance of the day Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey and people threw palm leaves before his feet to greet him.<BR/>Easter by us then lasts till Easter Monday, or as we say Second Easter Day. It's called the quiet week. Next Thursday, Friday Sunday and Monday are Holy Days with all <BR/>business closed (except for gas stations).<BR/>Many prefer to celebrate Passover in the mountains. For fifty years the Church of Norway therefor has held cervices in all the main resorts here. It's quite beautiful.<BR/>We are staying in the lowlands.<BR/>Mom does not bother much for snow, she loves spring with all its magic wonders.<BR/><BR/>I am proud of all my friends, they are a unique bunch of selected flowers.<BR/>Elisabeth is special though, she sacrificed so much in her battle for the rights for the mentally retarded. AN d she managed to be heard, won several trials in court and ended up in changing Norwegian law!<BR/><BR/>We did learn about the children disabled by their parents in school. I somehow thought that was a finished chapter in India.<BR/>I guess there are need and poverty beyond my imagination.<BR/>It's heartbreaking.<BR/>I'll continue to have that little girl on my list, 'cause I know that the Lord sees the individual, even in a billion Indians.<BR/>God bless you, my dear.<BR/><BR/>Dear Terry,<BR/>thank you for the magnificent work you did for little Erin.<BR/>It was so sad when she died, like a battle lost.<BR/>Then again when we heard of all the young people finding Jesus as their savior partly because of Erin, I once more must admit that the Lord's ways for sure are higher than ours.<BR/>Not one prayer was said in vain, that's for sure.<BR/>Hope you all will have a blessed Passover in Canada. Praying for Dad Golden as always.<BR/>Yours Felisol<BR/><BR/>Dear Jim,<BR/>oh, no sir, my princess just arrived yesterday and will not leave until Wednesday after Easter.<BR/>We intend to have a splendid time together. This Wednesday brother Kel will join us too. We then will be be a full house, two Kings and three queens!<BR/>Finally some card playing and checkers with four lousy loosers.<BR/>Gunnar is a masochist, he prefers to beat himself, in Formula 1 races on Playstation that is.<BR/>God bless your Easter celebration. That must be a fine time in Sundayschool as well.<BR/>From FelisolFelisol https://www.blogger.com/profile/12240191154632603841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37174210.post-7737472399022113882008-03-15T14:15:00.000+00:002008-03-15T14:15:00.000+00:00Hi Felisol.

You are so supportive and taking care of her. The waffles look good, I 've never had one tho.<BR/><BR/>Serina looks like a Princess. I am so happy to hear she collecting money for the orphange in the midst of being mocked at. Such a brave and caring child.Hape she had a good holiday in Azerbaijan and got you some nice silk.<BR/><BR/>The old church is a masterpiece. To me its like out of a fairy tale.<BR/><BR/>Your friend Elizabeth is a wonderful woman having contributed towards the rights of mentally retarded people. Hats off to her.In my country lots needs to be done, but there are people working on it.<BR/><BR/>Aunt Lilly and Uncle Lief are all such special people.And Turid too.<BR/>Hope you enjoyed the music. i have only heard parts of it.<BR/><BR/>Thanking for adding the little girl on your prayer list.<BR/>There are many chuldren like this in india whi have to earn for their family.Christians and other organizations are able to help some of them.<BR/><BR/>You will be shocked to hear that some kids are physically disabled, their lombs damaged so that they can go out and beg on the streets.Amritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04887884977787790642noreply@blogger.com
