Too much fun

Tonight we had our pastor Luckey and his family, wife Christa and kids Kaitlyn, Aaron and Caleb over for dinner. They have been such a huge encouragement and help to us since we arrived in Oslo. The very first Sunday Luckey picked us up for church and they had us over for dinner afterwards. Our church here is so very different from our church at home. The largest difference is the size. We are used to a mega church. Oslo International Community Church is not mega. On a high attendance Sunday there may be 25 people. While I pray that the church does grow, it was kind of fun to go to such a small church while we were here.

Caleb, Christa, Kaitlyn, Luckey and Aaron

Katherine loves Kaitlyn, Aaron and Caleb and they love her. They are all in Sunday School together each week. The kids ate at their own table and had so much fun playing after dinner. You would never realize that she is less than 2 and they are 7, 10 and 12 (I think). They all played so well together. Almost every toy we had was pulled out by the end of the evening.

While the adults were still eating we saw that Katherine had climbed up into Aaron's lap to read a book. We all ran to grab the cameras because it was so sweet.

Five days until you return home?? Your three months away went by very fast. Our at least it seems like fast to me! Have a safe trip home. Have a Dr. Pepper on me!

it feels like it's gone by slowly to me, but I think so much has been going on around here that's felt like slow-motion! We can't wait to have you back. I finally got a chance to read up on your blog. Glad you got to see some "No" in Stockholm. :o)
