The strangest of strange

The past days in our life have been challenging for both of us.
Andreas experienced to be attacked by a drugged and angry addict who hit him because he wanted his mobile and couldn't get it.
But it all started with me not bringing my glossary with me, and in my North-Norwegian gullibelief - all people are good - and naivity, asked this guy for directions on a train-station.
I've learned that this is not the thing to do.
At least not to an unknown man.
It's easier to ask a lady. Ladies ask me all the time.
But most of all, I should know directions in advance.

This is the learning bit of it all.
And to bring my glossary in order to be clear and understood.

But through this happening I also learned about God's mercy.
And how he sent an angel to help me and my other friend and Andreas at the police station.
He had been in North-Norway some years ago!
I was so shook up by seeing Andreas blood on my clothes that I had shouted, cried and talked in French.
But this angel calmed me by talking about it as a normal matter.
And I got to know about his family and his job.

Yesterday som other friends of mine from church told me that if I should look more local, I should not smile or laugh as much or be as open with my face.

There are new lessons to be learned everyday here.

Yesterday Andreas lost something valuable.
We were looking all over for it but couldn't find it.
When he was walking the doggie, I said a prayer to God and asked him to help him find his lost sachet. Minutes after, he got a phone call from a shop where a clerck had found it and remembered who owned it.

I believe God is present in our every day lives.
If some people call it "chance" or calculate the likelyhood that negative things turn positive, is "all-right" by me. I have another factor contributing to my belief.

And when I look back at a day, a week or even years of life,
I find His footsteps all over the place.

I enjoy my days here and hope to begin work soon.
We love to Georgian food when eating out, and I will try to do some cooking on my own of that cuisine as well:)
So long....:)
