We have now been in India for three months and the time has come to go home to Sweden and meet our families and friends (eventhough we seem to find more and more reasons to stay!) We are so very thankful for the great kindness and hospitality that has been shown to us. It has been a true blessing for us to visit many homes and meet many different people. We are very thankful that we have got the oppurtunity to pray with many of you. we will continue to pray for you, the different congregations we've been to and the HCC church.

Even before we came here, HCC and India had a big place in our hearts because of the contact our churches hav had through the years and now after three blessed month that special place has grown and we will forever keep you in our minds.

 

Before we took the flight to India, Maria Bark gave us one last advice, she said; "Nothing will be as you expect it to be but try to just go with it". And she was right. For example; we had promised our parents (and ourselfs) NOT to go on the bike but already the first week we were going tripleseat... -and we enjoyed!

 

"Prabouh me sada
anandit raho
Me phir keta ho
anandit raho"
(if you don't understand what I was trying to write it says;
"rejoice in the Lord, once again I say rejoyce in the Lord")

We have had so many reasons to rejoyce in the Lord during this journey! To see different churches, hear wonderful testamonies, see the great social work that HCC is doing, praise the Lord by dancing like crazy ;) and so many different things! We have seen God here, through you -his disciples!

We hope that this exchange between our churches will continue so that we always may now that we are brothers and sisters across the borders- one in christ. And so that we can inspire each other, help and learn from each other.
