Watch out world, here we come

hi hi hi!!! We've made it to Kautokeino! After leaving Borgen at 10am, Monday morning, we made a stop at Skibotn for passport pictures, which ended up taking 2hrs :) so at 12pm we were finally on the road....and on the road....and on the road...and on the road....until we found out that we had missed an important turn off and had been travelling south for 3hrs when we were supposed to be travelling North. hehe, so finally 11.5hrs after leaving Borgen we arrived at our new home!! it's beautiful up here...everything is covered in snow.

Some of us were sorely dissapointed that we didn't get to live in igloos, but that is okay, we have really great rooms and real beds with real windows that work! Not that we would open them because it is rather cold here and no one fancies waking up covered in snow. We have a kitchen with a table and we can eat there. That is good too. It's snowed here, every night. It's so beautiful and we can almost see the sun when we look really hard.

Okay so now for some serious stuff.... We visted the Nuoraidsiida (Youth/Cultural house) and met some of the youth and staff. We were given a hearty welcome and they gave us each a staff T-shirt, which are really COOL!!! We are currently working with the Nuoraidsiida (Youth/Cultural house) to develop our program for the next 3 weeks. Things are already looking promising as they have asked us to be in charge of some drama, music and creative classes. We have already begun to plan some fun activities such as a disco, movie night, and a sports day, which gives us a great opportunity to get to know the youth here.

Well, that's about it for now.

Thanks for praying for us, we are seeing God move and open doors, and this shindig isn't finished yet!God bless you guys!
