6 1/2 months along:)and spring has come!

We are enjoying the weather these days.. it's not like in Redding, but we have sunny weather although the temperature is only 50-60 F. We've been walking in the mountains, that we have right outside... it's just sooo wonderful!


Maria is growing, and most people are surprised that she's not due until july 6th., because she's biiiig:) our son is kicking and turning around all the time... keeping his mom from sleeping at night:) He is a healthy boy, growing fast as the doctor said...
We are slowly preparing for our baby to arrive. We got a very nice and almost new car seat the other day. Yesterday Maria's oldest sister gave us some quality toys, that she has kept since her kids were babies.
Also we have some baby clothes given to us from Redding and Orlando:)
As some of you might know, Maria's siblings have 13 children all together so far, and 10 of these are boys:) So we will be getting lots of cute clothes, toys etc.:)

Easter has been really good. We have been at a gospel concert, eating dinner at Kristin's brother's house, enjoying family and each other:)

We are seeing some strange things happening to people around us, and feel like the enemy is getting anxious because of the freedom of the resurrection of Jesus. He is trying to look powerful by causing accidents and sickness, but all of this just shows how foolish he really is. We allready have the power over these cirsumstances, and he's just not able to change that.

March 3rd-5th ALL the churches on our island had church together. It was SO powerful to see pentecostals, brethren and Lutherans gather together in worship and prayer. Many people attended the meetings, and every meeting had preachers from different denominations. The worship team was also people from all the churches gathered in one team, and so were the prayer teams... Really awsome experience.
The theme of the weekend was "Be as one". Some of the preachers mentioned that this was a piece of heaven we were experiencing, because heaven isn't devided in denominations.
Hopefully it isn't going to be too long before we're doing this again. We're trying to get hold of some pictures from the meetings, so we can post them here.

We miss our friends/family in Redding, Sparks, Kelowna and Orlando!!! Love you all!
blessings, hugs and kisses (only if you want to:)!
