Life in Sweden: September 2011

Life has really started rolling here! Isaac's going to school every morning for 3 hours, and when he comes back I many days run off to work for 8 hours. I got an "extra" job helping people with different mental disabilities, mostly with Downs Syndrome but also other various other things too. It was just mainly "we really need work" but it turns out that I'm really enjoying it! I look at these people that much of society looks down on and pities, but I just feel love for them. One of the residents there was telling me about people that had died...so I asked "Where are they?". "D" pointed his finger to the sky and said "with God". There is something so innocent with them, and I wonder if they're not the more blessed ones in many ways. Sadly they said that they are getting less and less people because they now do the diagnostic tests in the womb and many of these precious people are aborted. But I'm thankful for a job and also to have a job that I very much enjoy going to.

As far as ministry goes: we meet every friday evening at 8.30 pm here for prayer nights. It's easier to do it once the kids are down. And then we have bible study on sunday evenings at 6pm. It's been exciting to see God bringing new people in, but we feel no pressure in numbers so I'm always just curious to see who will stay around. But it's been a blessing having more fellowship! And it blesses us to hear that the study is an answer to their prayers.

The boys are growing so fast. E-man will probably be walking here in not very long. He already stands up just holding himself with one hand. Mr. M throughly enjoys hanging out with his cousins, but he also has a new friend Miss S who is just a month younger than him and daughter to another ministry couple that live here in Vallentuna that we have been hanging out with.

My brain is tired after a long day of work so the rest will just be a bunch of pictures of the boys! :)

E-man likes toys now!
