My par­ents left yes­ter­day. Sad day. They came Thurs­day last week, so we got to spend 8 days together this time. I had the best week that I´ve had over here. They blessed us by com­ing over the sea to visit with us. I love my par­ents very very much! Since I´ve moved out 10 years ago to go to Col­lege, it´s been long time since we got to spend qual­ity time together over many days like this. Thank you so much, Lord!

They came over here Thurs­day a week ago, and we spent a cou­ple of days here in the area. On Fri­day we went to Winston-Salem to do some shop­ping. My mother wanted to go to a store to by fab­ric for quilt­ing, and my father and I wanted to get a new iPhone for me because the old one was falling apart. I had dropped it out­side and the glass was shat­tered and pieces had fallen off… On Sat­ur­day we drove to Boone and to Blue Ridge Park­way. It was beau­ti­ful!! We hiked for a cou­ple of hours too. Saw a water­fall and ate ice cream and drank soda. Hav­ing a blessed good time!

On Sun­day we went to Morn­ingstar Church in Wilkes­boro, then headed towards Nashville, TN. My father loves coun­try music, and I grew up lis­ten­ing to Willie Nel­son and Kenny Rogers among oth­ers. I really enjoy that kind of music too. So Nashville was were we wanted to go. It was fun. The live music in the music pubs was high qual­ity. We loved it! Sanna and I even got to dance a cou­ple of dances at “The Stage” which was really cool

Wednes­day this week we returned to Mora­vian Falls and rested. Thurs­day was a good day for us too. Sanna and I took them around on the moun­tain meet­ing our friends, and we had pic­nic lunch at one of the prayer moun­tains. The peace is mar­velous here, my par­ents com­mented on it sev­eral times.

What I want to say is that I really truly enjoyed being together with Sanna and my par­ents! I look for­ward to see­ing them again next time, in Nor­way. They are won­der­ful and I love them very very much.

Mamma and Pappa, I love you!!! Gud vel­signe dere uen­delig masse!
