York

Many of us attending Refresher Course took a bus trip to York one day

- a beautful, quaint city.

Lots of flowers to enjoy.

We had fun roaming around the city, in and out of cozy little shops.

We also walked around parts of the walled city.

Can you see Ragnar way down there?

York Minster

We really enjoyed an old Viking Museum, but couldn't take any pictures there.

Very interesting old buildings.

Refresher Course

We recently were blessed to be surounded by lots of missionaries either on Home Assignment, or on their way to the field. The European Refresher Course was held here at the NTM center. We enjoyed lots of singing, sharing, reports from varios fields and were fed from the Word by a former MAF pilot.

People were here from the Faroe Islands, Norway, Germany and the UK - folks serving in Greenland, Senegal, Papua New Guinea and the Philippines.
Trying to sit with different folks at each meal time, gave us lots of opportunities to either get to know the families or get reacquinted.

A team of 7 came all the way from the Faroe Islands to cook many delicious meals for us, which was really appreciated.

Yummy Faroese fish.

We went through it very quickly.

Clean up time.

Serving with a smile on their faces.

The last evening of the Course Ragnar thanked them for the great job they had done.

A small token of our thanks.

Norweigan Friends

Ragnar's 9 day visit in Norway was very enjoyable.
He enjoyed some quality time with our friends, Egil and Rita Gammelsaeter.
One day they walked to some beautiful falls.

Enjoying a lovely meal just outside their cabin.

Followed by a relaxing cup of coffee.

Town of Hardangerfjord.

Conference in Norway

Ragnar was recently in Norway where he attended a NTM Conference.

He stayed with friends that we had worked with in the Philippines in this beautiful town.

He had the joy of sharing about our work in the Philippines.

Lots of time for catching up and fellowship around the dinner table.

What a great opportunity to have time with more former coworkers from the Philippines.

Beautiful view from the Conference Center.

Variety of Fun

Noah and I had lots of fun each afternoon while Selah was sleeping.
