Last week in Norway ...

Eirik and Prem's office at Hald


I am siting and writing this post in the office or actually I called this office that " our corner". So Eirik Austeng and I were talking, praying for our last week at Hald today. Eirik is my friend, my best brother, my fantastic teammate that I could never and ever forget him. We used this small corner to pray, share, talk and encourage each other many many times.

Feeling in between, it is not that so said but it is also not so happy to say bye to friends in this school and friends this country.

It is funny for me who has been in many different countries and have had faced many farewells in my life and most of my times were quite easy to say bye. But this time is a bit special which I am finding out why I feel like this...

Anyway, I don't find the answer yet. But I found a story of Abraham Lincoln :

The day before his 52nd birthday, Abraham Lincoln left Springfield, Illinois, to become President of the United States. With the threat of civil war looming, he said goodbye to the friends and neighbors who had come to see him off. “I now leave,” he told them, “not knowing when, or whether ever, I may return, with a task before me greater than that which rested upon Washington. Without the assistance of the Divine Being who ever attended him, I cannot succeed. With that assistance I cannot fail. Trusting in Him who can go with me, and remain with you, and be everywhere for good, let us confidently hope that all will yet be well. To His care commending you, as I hope in your prayers you will commend me, I bid you an affectionate farewell.”


Only one thing that I know for now is I will see many of friends once again and again and again and at least we will meet each other again in the Kingdom of God. See ya!!
