Sabbath Week

We went exploring yesterday. We grabbed some food and hammocks, and just started walking. After crossing two sets of railway tracks, fighting our way through thick patches of Stinging Nettles, being yelled at by a Danish farmer for wandering through his paddock of sheep, and Pete being stung by a bee on his nipple, we eventually found ourselves in the middle of a very big and incredibly beautiful forest. It had spongy pine needles lining the floor, and giant trees reaching up to the sky. It was as if I'd walked onto the scene of Little Red Riding Hood! So dark and cool and I guess, other-worldly, at least to a West Australian Aussie such as myself!

We strung up the hammocks, then lay back and listened to stories by Rudyard Kipling, read in a wonderful real life, deep Pommy voice...And we stayed like this for hours. It was so lovely and relaxing. I feel so at comfy and "at-home" when people read me stories.

Finding a new way home which didn't involve the farmer's property was a whole new adventure! Let's just say, my legs are still screaming for mercy...but it was a very beautiful walk.

Sabbath Week is just what we all really needed I think. We have church each morning, and free time from lunch, then a night session. Excellent teachers. They're Scottish missionaries who live in Turkey. And they're pretty wise.

Friday is the LogOscars! (Get it? Logos Oscars?) Heaps of people have made short movies over the last few months to present for a LogOscar tomorrow night! We're all getting really dressed up, having a very special dinner, and watching them together...I have a feeling it's going to be a REALLY funny night!

Thanks for your emails lately. I just LOVE hearing from you. It makes my day, even when the news isn't great. I love being a part of your lives, even though I'm in Denmark, and you're Down Under...xx
