Elisabeth

Friday 15^th of February

Dear me! Time flies! Even I’m starting to realize that Trine is leaving real soon. We’ll spare you the sentimentality-chock-wave. But if you know Trine you probably know that she’s addictive. In a sneaky kind of sence.

Today we went to study with Regina.

apparently the paper on the forhead helps against hickups.

Trine and Elisabeth

  After that with Elisabeth, last time for Trine, Rebecca will take over from now on. Don’t really know if Elisabeth understood that though. This study started in the truth-tract in English, she was paying much attention, but Trine was not sure how much she understood, she gave her the tract in kwangali, BIG improvement! After the tract they went on to the book, this worked even better since the questions are also in kwangali. She soon got herself a Bible in her own language; I think she got it from her family in the north. Now she understood even more. She follows very well and finds the answers in the paragraph, not always a sure thing. She shows much appreciation:)

Bianca was overbooked today so Trine took care of Annas’ study. I got stuck in with our landlord discussing the imagery of the Bible, he had his theories of religion, universe and all. Light, big “J”s always accompanied by small “j”s… I’m happy the truth is not so complicated, but he sure knew best, he was a Mikko, I somehow enjoyed it anyways. Guess it’s something I’m used to. His girlfriend, our actual landlord didn’t have the energy to listen to him so she went on with her everyday business. She was really the one I started the conversation with, her sister is a witness and she knows it’s the truth, but like many others something is holding her back.

Lessons

It’s important to take care of our health, but not necessary to go to the extrem(young people ask)

There's more than one Mikko

These are some old lessons we havn’t told you about…

Wapenduka nawa- Have you awakened all right?(used as Good morning)

Kosaruka- crazy in Kwangali

Malkop – crazy in Afrikaans

Ek praat nie Afrikaans nie. – “I don’t speak Afrikaans”, which is the most stupid thing you can say in Afrikaans because everybody tells you that you do.
