I am going to be the new recruiter for the European Bible School (EBS). I will be starting up a Student Mission Program, heading up the social committee, working with the students and living in snow. I won't know anyone at the school. My friend Erin who's job I'm taking will be living about 20 to 30 min away. I will be basically my own boss. I'll use my budget to decide where I will go to recruit (yes, I'll be traveling all over Europe). I'll live on campus in an apartment, eat most my meals in the cafeteria with the students. The care food is all vegan, including no cinnamon and curry spice (sorry Hans!). I think it'll be fun. I've already decided that I am going to take more than my two suit cases. I'm not afraid to bring a little bit more with me. Shoot I'll need lost of warm clothes and things to decorate my apartment with! I'm a regular adult now with an apartment.

If you want to go on line to see where I'll be working the website is: europeanbibleschool.com I plan on leaving at the beginning of AUg. I am going to work at Camp Wawona for the summer. It's in the middle of Yosemite National Park in California. I'll be a camp counselor/drama teacher/assistant programing dir. I can't wait! I haven't been a counselor in FOREVER. I am really excited. I'll have fun goofing off with the campers.

I'll let you know how things progress. Thanks for your prayers and support on my next journey in life.

The town the school is in. It's outside of Oslo (the capital)

Hi, I actually don't know you, but I noticed on Bere Hospital blog that there was someone with a blog titled "Norway" :-).

My name is Martina and I am a student missionary from Southern at Fredheim Health Center in Kongsberg, Norway (about 45 minutes from Skotselv), and I went to EBS two years ago. I was actually wondering who will take over for Erin this next year, and I guess it is you! :-) I think you will seriously have an awesome time there! Have you ever been to Norway before? Norway really is a blast, and there are tons of young people at EBS from all over the world.

I hope you have a great time here! :-)

Revisiting secret places in the heart.

Emily is in Tchad and she finally posted something . I'll be honest when I was reading it my heart started racing and I was instantly transported there. I know what it's like to return to a place like that. Six months after I left the Hogar de Ninos in Honduras I found myself on a plane going back to visit for three weeks. There really is nothing better than going 'home' to a place you had thought you would never see again. I remember the feelings of wanting to jump off of the plane and run through the airport to find my friends. Then once I was on the REACH bus headed to el Hogar, I remember talking the WHOLE 2 hours with one of the girls from the home, the excitement was oozing out of me, and once the bus pulled into the gate of the hogar I ran out and up the hill into the arms of all the beautiful children. The feeling was amazing. Something akin to what I think heaven will be like. It was magnificent to touch and talk to all the kids again, to see their faces, when ...

Yesterday all my troubles seemed so far away. . .

When I got to the hospital for worship at 7am, little Ramadan, one of my little TB guys sat with me for worship, and he and I had a lot of fun I received the full amount of personal contact for the day. We looked at our hands, veins in our hands and tried not to giggle to loudly when we tickled each other. In the afternoon I didn’t worry about working on our math skills like I normally do. Normally I sit with my peds boys and we go over math stuff. We play a round of Uno and then work on numbers. With Climont, I work on going over basic numbers and recognizing them and then with Kumabus, I help him with multiplying and simple addition, which he is good at. With Ramada I go over addition. But yesterday I gave it all a break and we colored pictures. We just sat there and I sang and let them color whatever they wanted to. There was a nice breeze and a bag fluttered over to me so I took it and made it into a kite. I just sat there with the kids and tried to fly my kite. Soon it was time fo...

On Friday night last I went to the local Jewish community center (yes there is one here in Phnom Penh) and celebrated the opening of the Sabbath. I have a few things in common with the Jewish faith, as a Christian I also believe that Saturday is day that God set aside for worship. It's the day that we spend with God and family as a reminder that He is God and to slow down and be present. It starts Friday night at sundown and goes until sundown on Saturday. With the big difference in our beliefs being Jesus. Even with that difference I appreciated the connection that I was able to make with the way that Jesus brought in His Sabbath all those years ago. I went with Louise, the newest RAW Edu staff member and Olivia, the volunteer here for two weeks with an Eng literacy training team and who is actually Jewish. She was the main motivation for going, I wanted to help her find a bit of home in Phnom Penh. We arrived a bit late due to confusion of where it was. The room had a small d...
