Gledelig takksigelse!

Happy thanksgiving on thursday everyone! it was my first thanksgiving on American soil so that was a nice experience.
this has been a pretty good week; there was a talent show on base and I played guitar on one song me and a girl from DTS wrote, I rapped in Norwegian and also played a funny song with a guy from my school. it was a hoot, and there was a lot of great stuff and talents displayed. the concert on sunday was a lot of fun. there were five bands playing so each band didn't get as much playing time as I hoped but...the lectures this week was only for three days and we did personality tests which were interesting. I don't know if all the stuff in the description of my "personality" match me, but it was fun anyways.
yesterday, me and some guys from DTS went on a daytrip to Missoula, which is about 110 miles south I think it is. there haven't been a whole lot of people on the base during thanksgiving; a lot of the students have gone home to celebrate "turkey-day". I went to my school-leaders' house to eat and hang out, and the food was really good. I was starting to get the flu, and I've sort of had it for a couple days, but I hope I'm starting to get better.
hmmmm...dunno what more to write, but if there's anything you want to know just ask. I know I'm throwing this in all the time, but I don't mind e-mails, but I'm not craving them either.
hope you're all doing alright and snakke to you later.
I'm also posting some pictures; one is from me rapping at the talent show (the quality of the picture isn't very high, maybe I'll find a better one later...or maybe I won't) and one is of a band that played...they were pretty funny. I'm also posting a couple pictures from the show we went to a week ago...one is of me and Ryan and Gidon from DTS. the two other ones are of the Chariot, a pretty darn good band. the two next ones are from my thanksgiving celebration...I beat my school leader at Tekken! the last picture's from the trip to missoula; me and Gidon.
well, that's it folks!
God velsigne deg!

Tjabba!

Hey!
it's been a couple days since I updated now so.
it's started to snow over here, and we got like 3 inches on monday I think it was...it's fun, 'cause some guys on our school haven't seen snow before, so a fun thing to do is to throw snow-balls at them and white wash them. not that we do it, but it's something that would be fun.
last week was challenging, but good. had some hard times with understanding God and myself, but I grew a lot from that week. we also had to do worship without instruments, 'cause the leaders took them from us to show practically that worship isn't just about instruments. we also changed our outreach-location from Holland and Spain to St. Croix. that's pretty sugary sweet! for those of you who aren't really geographically educated, like me, it's in the Caribbean south of North America, just south of Puerto Rico. so look it up!
this week is good too...we learn about history behind worship and compare worship today with how the Jews and the early Christians worshiped. not everyone find this interesting, but I love history so I think it's good stuff.
I'm adding a couple pictures too...one of them is of the base covered in snow, the other one is from a night out bowling, on monday. as you all know, bowling is one of my favourite sports so. we had a lot of fun and found a sign that said norwegian gasoline. I'm also adding a picture of me and another Norwegian standing under the sign.
and also this sunday I'm going to Spokane, WA to see the band The Chariot...it's gonna be incredible. they're insane! well, I guess you wish you were me. yeah? yeah? no? ok, I think it'll be good anyways.
well, don't know what more to write, but drop me a line by e-mail. that's always kozelig.
have a good one...
Gudspeed!

heisann!
here's just a little update from Lakeside while listening to the new Sigur Ros album, which is pretty decent. this week has been really good, and a guy called Randy Pacarro has been teaching about Spirit-led worship. we did prophecies again, which stuns me everytime; I get all these confirmations of stuff I've heard before, all the time. Randy also had a really good way of teaching, very interactive, which made the material come more alive. by the way, Randy has been teaching a couple years at the SOW that used to be at the YWAM-base I'm from in Norway; Grimerud. I'm adding a picture of him, his wife and me.
also, on monday was it?, it was halloween and on last saturday we had this halloween-/fall-party thing where a lot of people dressed up. I didn't have a lot to choose from so I went as the Pink Panther, Pink Floyd or whatever, and I got to borrow this really cool belt buckle. if you want to know why it was awesome just ask. we had fun by Teutates!
this week the DTS has been on a mini-outreach, and it's been insanely quiet on the base. it has actually been really good; I've been able to reflect on what Randy has said. I know it sounds a bit, I don't know, adultish to use a word like reflect, but describes the week really well. God has been speaking to me and I've learned a lot, both theory and maybe more abstract stuff.
the DTS returns tomorrow, so just one more day of silence. we're watching Johnny English tonight...not one of my favourite movies, but it definately has one good comment in it...can't remember what it is sånn i farta, but...it's something like "Flab!". did that help you out in case you couldn't remember either?
well, it was nice talking to you. monologues are great...everyone is awfully quiet, except for me.
Gud bless!

I'll probably be posting more sometime in the near future too, but there are a lot of she-moose around here so I guess it'll just have to wait. I mean, it is Montana.
peace out!
