Week 24 - The Life

Week 24 - The life

Hey Everyone!

     So my companion and I went tracting in this place called Spikarna. It's a town on the island right next to Sundsvall called Alnö. Actually it's a tiny island off the coast of Alnö. We don't really know what to to expect, but when we get there it's absolutely beautiful. We have to park our car right outside because there isn't enough room on the little island for us to park. There's a little sign explaining this for us. Then we get out and walk across this tiny bridge to this tiny island. As we're crossing, we see this scene to our right: the ocean which is grey with mist hanging so low it's touching the water, a snowy shoreline, and right where a single sunbeam is touching the water, four geese in a perfect line are flying with there feet in the water all maybe two stone tosses away. So as we're talking about how we just saw a scene from animal planet, we turn the corner and see a reindeer fifteen feet in front of us. Then after taking a picture, we look back to the bridge and see two more walking on the frozen canal between Alnö and the little island we're on. It was incredible. 
      
      I'm so grateful God gives us moments like that in life. Seeing the beautiful world He has created always gives me more trust in His wisdom, power, and love. It's easier to trust someone when you can tell their qualified for their job. The Earth with all its majesty and beautiful intricacies is like God's credentials for His divine Fatherhood over us. It's here for us to explore and examine, and to testify that God lives, that He is the God of Glory, and that He loves. 
      
      What else... Oh yeah! Golden investigator Mikael said he would read and pray! He's read the entire Bible and believes in God and is very sensitive to the Spirit. He said felt it when we prayed. 
     
      Also we ate this bomb Iraqi meal last night with our good friend Benjamin. Pictures below.


                                                Just a little comp inventory...

                                                   This one has Arabic food.
