OUTREACH is coming up...


Just because i know this weekend is going to be busy, I'm gonna update you guys on what's happening now. We're leaving for Tecate on Monday. After that we'll head down to south Mexico for 5 more weeks, Pacucha and Tepic. Yay, exciting! Tecate is only 1 1/2 hours from here, and its going to be wired being there and hanging out with the people who so often come to Ensenada to hang out with us... But its going to be cool too, I'm pretty excited, even though all our speakers lately have told us we're going to have a hard outreach... I'm glad God is going to teach us stuff, but the be honest, I'd rather be done with it, than sitting here knowing I'll be doing it for 2 months starting Monday... The fall is coming up pretty fast, and I've already changed my mind 1000 times about what I should study, or where, or when, or if.... Yeah. It's all up to God now, but as of right now it looks like I'll be studying (mamma, pappa, overraskelse!!) Samfunnsgeografi. No English word for that at the moment, but it's around social studies. Yeah. I do know that I have a lot off opportunities here too, and a lot of them I wouldn't mind, so we'll see after outreach... The past days we're been having a lot of outreach prep, mostly drama practice. Its a lot of fun! I'm excited to see the ways God is going to use us in the dramas, but I'm also scared- I'm already starting to get tired of them.... :| Well, we are leaving on Monday... It's been 3 G R E A T months here!! I could not have asked for a better DTS or staff, and I've gotten so many new friends! I love Mexico, and I love YWAM. And God. (not in that order) I am so grateful to the people I've met during these months, and I've already started crying because of the fact that nothing is going to be the same again... It's life, I'm facing it, and it's OK. I just don't like changes when I know it will never be the same again! Leaving Norway for a couple of months doesn't bother me, nothing really exciting happens there during 6 months anyway, but it will be different leaving this base... these people... Im gonna end it here, just some pics to give you guys who don't bother to read this anyways (David) something to look at. Enjoy! You might not hear from me in a while, blogging will not be my 1st priority during the outreach, but we'll see! Please pray for unity in the team and also for guidance when it comes to what I (and the rest of the team) should do after our DTS. Thanks! As for now, Adios de Ensenada Mexico!

GOSMIL!
An old pic from a time we went for icecream and a roadtrip around Ensenada in the beginning of the school.. I found this street name, along with other great European cities like Paris and Rome!
This is Jacob and Martin and they are great!!!

The new big LOVE of the DTS (and also a the base in general) is the very Norwegian Vestlands lefse that took the trip over the sea along with my school papers and stuff my mom send. There's a couple of people in my DTS with Norwegian inheritance, and one time we mentioned lefse... We ate a lot of it during our dress-up party, but I saved one package... On Tuesday we didn't have anything to do, so we made some... It started out with Doug, Ali and I, but as the word spread- about 20-30 people were hanging out in the kitchen. I was the chef, while the Canadians were trying to read the instructions on the back of the package, which are in Norwegian... Lucky for me they're not really that hard to make, and I already had a lot of practice in it after making 30 of them for the party...

Crowded!!

Livet gaar naa sin vante gang...

Syria kan snart gaa, og har faatt 3 tenner siden vi kom hit i Januar. Hun er vaar lille sjarmoer, som aldri graater.


Dress up party!!!; hver smaagruppa maatte finne paa et eget tema, og ta med seg snacks. Vi bestemte oss for aa vaere Cavewomen, og fikk i tar i kyllingbein vi hadde i haaret. Vet ikke helt om du kan se det paa bildene, men lover at vi hadde det. Saa kom det 2 karer inn og skulle bedoemme den meste gruppen, og vi vant- $20 gavekort til Starbucks. Vi sa ikke neitakk!!!
Meg, Alicia (min tvillingsoester) og Sarvia!Roompicture!!
Meg og Kelsey. De var hippier!

Cavewomen!! Snackes vi hadde var gode, norske, vestlandslefser, som falt i smak hos flere enn de som har norsk opprinnelse og har gaatt og snakket om lefser siden Januar.
Braveheart men!
Piratene!
Amy og meg!



Hairdyingparty!!; Vi drepte haaret vaart, og farga det i ville farger (noen iallefall, jeg forble blond). Gemma og jeg snakka om det lenge, og saa tok det helt av og en 20 stykker var vel innom. De kom med sin egen haarfarge, og restene som ble igjen da en var ferdig, ble overtatt av de som ikke hadde med seg...
Tamara goes red!
Ja, dette er Kody, baselederen vaar. Og meg. Han liker meg enda, jeg gjorde ikke en altfor daarlig jobb!
Steve!
Vi fikk tilogmed Neil til aa farge skjegget!

Party!

Kelsey goes red.


cafe Del Molino. Her faar jeg jobbe saa mye jeg vil!!Me and my tooth...; Den er fiksa naa, Jaime og jeg dro til San Diego paa torsdag, og fikk fiksa det. Det var godt, men litt rart, og den ekke perfekt, men bedre enn den var..:


En sen middagskvel....; hvor vi faktiske hadde et macarachi band paa besoek paa basen igjen. .. Amanda og meg
Naara og Paloma tjener penger til Outreach ved aa selge is. Ingen pris, vi donerer bare penger!
Litt goey maa man jo ha...; Da vi hadde "Dramatraining" fant Savanna ut at vi skulle kle oss opp litt. Som sagt saa gjort, noen faa av oss dro det langt.. En annen sen kveld, bestemte vi oss plutelig for aa bake cookies. Vi var 4 til aa bake og bortimot 10 til aa spise...





Passion Play; Vi har et skuespill for alle Mission Adventures ungene som kommer innom. Det er et play som omhandler Jesu korsfestelse, og passer riktig godt inn i disse Paasketider. Vi er fult oppkledd, og vi tar med studentene rundt paa en reise der vi beveger rundt paa basen i takt med hva Jesus gjorde.

Folk lurer paa hva som skjer.
Vel, jeg har brukket tanna siden sist.

Hva har du laert fra DTS'n din?
IKKE fall paa 1st street i folkemengden, og brekk fortanna.

Tja... Jeg er litt buzy da, driver aa styrer rundt med forsikringsselskaper og amerikanske tannleger som vil ha pengene mine. Og med Mexicanere og kommenterer skadene 24/7, og ler. Hardt. Og lenge. Det er kulturen, de ekke slemme. De er bare rett paa. Jeg faar daglig spoersmaal om jeg vil ha tyggegummien dems til aa dekke skadene, og diverse papirbiter har blitt brettet paa maater som kan ligne en tann. "hva kan man ikke fikse med Ducktape?"

Det er interesant og morro, og irriterende, men det gaar fremover... Om noen dager er nok tanna paa plass igjen. Og snart skal dere faa se bilder!!

...og nei, jeg har det ikke vondt, og det hele er egentlig bare skikkelig komisk, og det ser verre ut enn det er. Foreloebig. Faar ikke svar paa saa mye foer om 2 uker.

Men jeg lever!
