It has just struck me that Christmas is really coming on fast! Christmas decorations has been seen in stores since the beginning of October (way too early if you ask me) but it isn't before now I'm starting to feel the christmas-spirit. Will be nice to go home and see everybody again! (well, those who still are to be found in Norway!)
This morning we sent TenSing Norway by train to a place near Birmingham after they've been here since Saturday. We've really enjoyed having them here, and the people of Barrow are wondering why all of a sudden norwegians are invading their town. The TSN-group consisted of 10 gap-year students who travel around Europe to spread the idea of TenSing which basically is dance/drama/choir-groups in a Christian setting. This is within the YMCA/YWCA. With some contacts and inside-info, Ingvild and Roar got them to come here to help us inspire people and maybe draw some attention to the dramatic arts group we've started here. Having them was a privelige! They had some very good schoolconcerts, participated in three services on Sunday, one being a youthservice, and workshops two evenings in St.Marks. Great fun! They also had a good time, and I think some of them are really gonna miss the hostfamilies they stayed with!
Now we are all taking a few days of rest and monday we're off to London:) It will be very good to meet with all the other gap-students from NMS, and of course do a bit of what London has to offer!
Here are some random picures from the last week or so!
