CHRISTMAS VACATIONS
I had very nice time...but unfortunally, haven´t taken many pictures, cause in the Christmas Eve we were in a farm where everything was prepared outside..so beautiful...when it started raining (a lot!). The energy was over during all night. But probably have from some days before and after. It was nice to spend Chritmas with Julia, also with all my family. I traveled on Friday to Tupã, my grandparents town and came back on Wednesday. We were around 60 people, all my aunts, ankles, cousins (from my father side) and some of my father´s aunt and cousins as well. I´ve always loved to spend my vacations with my cousins, remember we used to go to the beach after Chritmas and we were all looking forward to meet each other (almost all holidays when we were small).
Of course, I remembered foreigners in Norway...asked one friend if he found some friends to spend Chritmas with and he said: "l had a normal day in christmas eve:( sound's sad ... but l am used to do that".
After traveling 900 km (Sorocaba-Tupã-Sorocaba), we went to my ankle´s house in Nova Andradina-M.T (another state) and traveled 1486 km (both ways). It´s crazy but there is no airplane there, it´s very contryside. This time, with my mother´s family. It was crazily hot! But "koselig" to meet all of them together.
This two days I´ve been at home, I worked a lot. Yesterday arrived from the office at 9 and today at 8:30 o´clock. And finishing to pack to go to a camp for 3 weeks! Now going to travel 1914 km (both ways) to Vitoria - E.S. Not excited at all...but hopefully, I will get much input and learn and listen from God, since I know this ABU camp, called IPL (something like Institution of Leaders Preparation) is always well prepared with good preachers and leaders. In theory, I´m going to work on the camp, in practical, I´m going to attend to the meetings...AH! Couldn´t forget, I´m looking forward to meet Suemmey and the 2 Hald Norwegian students!
