Parece que deu certo, né?
Vocês finalmente chegaram lá!
Embora o caminho tenha sido longo (as vezes o mais longo),
sabíamos que um dia estariam aqui...
Alguns disseram que duvidavam que vocês conseguiriam,
mas hoje todos podem ver vocês assim,
cada vez mais fortes e cada vez mais juntos!
Por isso, é que desejamos todas as coisas boas do mundo para vocês dois:
(Filmagem das pessoas desejando felicidades)
Ficamos muito felizes por vocês...
Olhem mais uma vez aonde vocês conseguiram chegar...

Looks like we made it
Look how far we've come my baby
We might took the long way
We knew we'd get there someday
They said, "I bet they'll never make it"
But just look at us holding on
We're still together still going strong
You're still the one) You're still the one I run to
The one that I belong to
You're still the one I want for life
( música tocando ao fundo bem baixinho???)
I'm so glad we made it
Look how far we've come my baby

A great weekend!

I have always listened that when u get in a exchange program (sex change program, Leo? hehehe), u prepare yourself to suffer... U will make friends that u will love and miss forever.
This week I felt a bit sad inside. I saw myself in a complicated situation. I was surrounded by people I have learned how to love, and that (probrably) i will not see anymore in my life.

First on Saturday, we had a picnic. Another kind of international meeting, hehehe... One mexican girl (Rosio), one Finnish girl (Elina, the finished.. hehehe), one American (Ryan, the guy without nationality, because Mexicans and Brazilians r all Americans... hehehe), two Norwegians (Mia and Peter), two Germans (Anne and Judith), and, of course, three Brazilians (Leandro and Leonardo, and me). This was a very nice trip, which was suppose to start at 10:30 am, but it was too early to the norwegian culture (even we were not norwegians, it was a perfect excuse).
We pretended to have lots of fun, isn't it, Rosio? hehehe... We shared a lot about our lives, countries, cultures... We laughted and we ate (a loooootttt... hehhe). We just came down Fløen to watch a movie in Torstein's house. And it was very funny and nice...

Yesterday, we had a barbecue in my house. A mix of Brazilian, German and Norwegian barbecue. Funny! Again, many people from all around the World... hehehe... But this turn we had more Norwegians. And it is OK, since we live in Norway, hehehe... As it was too
cold for some of us, we came inside we took some koffe... And we where together until late...

I think I will miss it. I am sure, actually. But it is not time to think about it! hehe...
Unfortunately, I don't have many pictures by now. My cam was without battery. Then i will receive some more pictures later on...

See u then!

A beautiful day!

As I said before, the weather in Bergen has been perfect for those that have been through 84 rainy days. Now, we have many sunny beatiful days. Everybody's mood is up in the sky! And so is mine.
On Monday I went to Fløyant with Andja for a walk (pictures down here). It was great and crowded. By the way, every sigle place has been crowded... Livia said that she didn't know that there were so many people living in Bergen. Hehehe...
Today I went with Andja to Askøy. We were suppose to cook, but it was suddenly cancelled. So we went to a park to talk, listen to music, eat and read a bit together. And, of course, with this great sun, we took several pictures. Some of them are down here also). After, we went to the Youth Cafe and cook with them... It was nice...
Just something I'd like to say... The cooking stuff was cancelled, there for I had to do something else in the Confirmation Class today. I decide I'd speak a bit more about a certain subject. And I saw that God works through the things that don't work for us... I think that they really heard me, really much. I am really happy about it. I ask God that He remembers them the things I said.
Just it...
So, don't worry, be happy, and enjoy the weather!

Parabéns!!!

Today i must have a special post. It is not about me... it is about my dear boyfriend... He is becoming 22 today! Great day! I wish I could give him a hug, but I can't. So I just would like to say some words... Breno, you are the greatest guy in this world. At least for me, hehehehe... And, by the way, I hope that JUST FOR ME, hehehehehehehe... Love you...

Today I had my greatest day in Bergen... It is spring, can you believe? A weather around 15-16 celcius degrees, sun, and friends... Hicking is tirying but worthy...

I was there with some friends of Laget... international people, by the way:
3 Brazilians
2 Germans
1 Finnish
1 Danish
4 Norwegians...

It was great... Really... Bergen is the most wounderful city in Norway... When we have sun!
So, i thank Lord I am here...

Is God real?

2007-03-20T20:38:00.000+01:00

Today in the confirmation classes the teacher was talking about the existence of God and he asked everyone: “how sure are you that God exists?”. We had different anwers: some clichés and many god answers, but the best, for me, was a question that was given as an answer to that first question: “is it up to me to be sure or to decide if God exists or if he does not?”. I was surprised… I think that many of that teenagers of the confirmation classes really think about God, and I have really liked to be with them…
So, it was my turn to come with a cliché… heheheh...
I said this:
"Can you tell me what taste has this sweet? Yes, you can try to guess, because it looks like something (chocolate)… but you can’t really know before you taste it… It is more or less like getting to know God. You can not be really sure if he exists before you 'taste' him".
And what it hte best in God is that he exists even when I don't believe on it! Even in my times of crise i don’t have to fear, because God is always there for us...

Game...

2007-03-18T13:49:00.000+01:00

"Hver spiller starter med å skrive seks rare ting om seg selv. Bloggere som blir "tatt" må skrive seks ting om seg selv i sin egen blogg, i tillegg til å angi reglene for spillet. Til slutt velger spilleren seks nye bloggere som "har den", og lister navnene deres. Etter det er gjort, skriver han eller hun en kommentar på bloggene til hver av dem, for å la dem vite at de har blitt "tatt", og at de må lese bloggen til den som tok dem for mer informasjon."

1. I have had my arm broken in a stupid chidren's game: jogo do saco... a kind of speed race that we have in Brazil. we should be inside a bag, and run to a certain place. Instead of running, I fell down...
2. I have taken a bus from Joinville, in SC (in the south of Brazil) to Teresina, Piauí (in the northest of the country)... Non stop, it took 4 days...
3. I can cook well, but I am a disaster in the kitchen... I have burnt my arms at least 6 times... also my belly and (guess) my right leg...
4. I am living in Norway and I am learning Serbian...
5. I love dancing... I have had many nice presentations, shows etc... And I have had some stupid ones as well... I don't even dare to say everything here... hehehe... But once I danced a children's song in fron of everybody in my school... It was horrible! Because I was very grown up at that time... heheheh... (It was horrible)...
6. I think I could right many stupid things, because I am quite a disaster... but I am ashamed about everything... so if u really want to know, U ask me... heheheheh

And the game dies here, beacuse everyone I know who has a blog has played it...

Hi...
I have been in a camp this last 5 days. I was great. I got to know may people that really love the Lord, and really try to get to know him more and more...
We have had much fun as well: snow fight, "gå på sky", drinks, shows...
there was a lot of snow there. In one of the pictures down here, you can see we seated on the living room's sofas, and, behind us, a varanda full of snow! Great!
Now, Bergen again!
Me snakkes...

Det er karneval!

2007-02-20T22:48:00.000+01:00

Hi,people! It is cold here! Look at the birds on the lake! hehehe

I have not so much to say about the things in Bergen so far. Everything is OK! The life has came back to normal... working, trying to make friends, training... hehehe... I have also joined some visits that the schools have made to the church!

I have tried to speak some norwegian, but it is very difficult! Almost nothing remebers portuguese. But I know I should try harder.
I am going with NMS and LAget to a camp during the winter vacations. I would like to joing GÅ I TRO, but I will be more useful in this other camp. I hope so!

Marte and Ragnhild have been in a camp in my place! I would like to be there! Bt there is no problem. I am coming back in 4 months, isn't it?

Så, vi ses!

BERGEN AGAIN!

2007-02-07T22:37:00.000+01:00

Hi, people... I am sorry that I haven't posted anything lately... But I was busy and lazy... But I am going to try to be a nicer girl!
Just some pictures to keep my blog quite organized... ehehe...
Me and Kamphet, a very nice guy from Hald, in our FARWEL party... His mobile was always ringing during the classes, and this is a good reason to have this picture here, isn't it?

This is from a very, very nice place there i have been to. It is next to Lillehammer, and we were there with NMS people to a NMS camp. The best camp I have been here in Norway (maybe because the lectures were in English... hehehe... Thank you, God, for those English pastors... hehehe). Lots of snow and sun!

Now I am in Bergen, once more... The ciy was in a very beautiful snow time when I arrived. Maybe to welcome me? hehehe...

We were sliding down Fløyant with that cars (akebrette) ... Very nice, funny, and painful (when we were falling down... heheheh... but it is OK!)

Coming back to work! NMS has closed the project in Askøy, which made me be very sad. Now I have a new contact person (my pastor is quite out, so I need a new CP) and the confirmation classes to join... New floor at Sta Sunneva, as well... Many new things! But it is getting Ok. The kindergarten is always nice. It was Emma's birthday, and she was with her crown. Very nice...

And, tell me: isn'tit the most charming milk mustache you have ever seen?

Haldddd...

2007-01-10T17:48:00.000+01:00

Hi, people... I know i haven't written so much those last days... Not because i haven't had time, but because i haven't felt like doing it! But it is ok... I think so!

Now I am in Hald... All the international studentas are here. We have had a wounderful time so far! This time of the year is the "worst" for us... we really miss home... But there is another point: we are very happy to be together and we know that our time in Norway is going to the and since now on! Actually, I think that it is up to you: you ave to choose how you are goint to face the things... and I am realy happy with all that is happening here...

Those pictures are from our trio to the zoo... so funny!!!!!!

miss u all...

2006-12-15T00:42:00.000+01:00

Halo!
I want to ask you: how are you?
I am totally fine... But, sometimes, Norway is so dark, isn't it? I know it can make us feel a bit down, but this is the reason why i have been in so many "light moments"... hehehe.. Santa Luiza (the Saint of the Light) is very much remebered in this time of the year hear!
In the kindergarten, we have rememberd her as well. We visited an elder's house, and sang some Santa Luzia's songs, and we also had Santa Luzia's bulla... By the way, I have eaten it many times: in the kindergarte, at home (twice... because I live in this christian house) and yeasterday at my friend's house. It has been very nice. Jeg liker det!
I have cut my hair, how u can see... By my self! Nice, isn't it? hehehe.... this is what is not more on my head... hhehhee... Probrably, guys will see no difference. But i like it!
What I have been doing so far? I have been "singing in the rain"... It has been raining non stop... I have been in Bergen for 2 1/2 months, and I have had just 4 or 5 days withour rain!
Vi snakkes!

I was there with some people from Laget, and they are very nice. This girl is Eli (from Stavanger), she was in Hald last year (she lived in Brazil to the practce time) and she is very very very nice!!! Né, Eli?

These pictures are from Knarvik's camp.... I was painting nails again (10 kroner... hehhe...) and Leo, Mateus and I were explaining a bit about a missionary project in Brazil...

Christmas is arriving, people... with him, we I always use to have family, warm weather and vacations... This year, I will have cold (I hope very very cold) weather, friends (uhuuuu) and Stavanger... Nice, isnt it?

I'M LOVIN' IT!

2006-11-14T11:32:00.000+01:00

Halooo...
(about the pictures: I know that probably all the norwegians know Bergen, but I don't care... I like it, so I will put always more and more pictures.... =0). Oh... Down here you see Bergen, from a montain... Askøy, where I work, is the island just in front of it...)

Hi, Folkens...
I am here now thinking about the life... How can we miss so much people that we have just known? JAaaaaaaaaaa, people from Hald, I miss you all! It certainly is Kay's fault: I was reading his blog and I saw some pictures from the Amsterdan's airport... So... Ohhhh... VI FRA HALD ER SÅ KOSELIG SOM VI ER SAMMEN!!!! I don' know if it is written correctly, but you know what I mean, don't you?
Here in Bergen it is all OK! We have a sunny-rainy day, and I am completely used to it... For me, this is Bergen, I like rain, and I will not live here for ever (hehehehe)... So...
The work is OK... I have started joing some Bible Study courses and I am still in the kindergarten... Oh, yah... Once or twice a week I spend time in a "Youth Cafe", a place where I am just suppose so be in, so that we (the "christian people") are going to be a nice influence to the teenagers' lives... I like it.
Sometimes I wish I could do more, but I am sure that everybody here thinks the same... Isn't it?
I want to write more about my house, about the roommates, about all... But it is too much for today. So, I swear, next time I will do it...

I wish a very good time for you all... Miss you... Miss my people in Brazil... I miss Breno (ohhhhh)...
Ha det bra!

NMSU camp.

2006-10-31T11:38:00.000+01:00

This last weekend I was with Leo and Mateus in Lavik, in a NMSU camp. It was very nice, and it was the first time we were working together. And I liked it. The place was nice, and we could make lots of funny thing. That was the TRAMPOLIN and the Brus game.
The Fiord was nice, the valle (???) and the people as well... We saw snow (my first time... ohhhhhh) but we were inside the car.
I could see some couples just-marrieds norwegians, and I notice that they like having babies. All the couples have, at least, two children!
So far, I am ok, happy, in the rainy Bergen!
That pictures are from Leo!
Ha det bra!

The first time I saw snow: but I was inside the car!

Norway is full of nice people: "Ings"

Lots of nice places, as well... Lavik.

Can anyone tell Leo that it is not safe?

Vegar, our norwegian teacher's son.

Lella and the fiord.. hehehehe...

Leo and the Brus game!

Hi, people. Here I'm doing well. I miss Hald, my friends, my brazilian people. Being in Bergen is vey nice, but it makes me feel alone, sometimes. Firt of all, because, how you no, I have no partner. And I was used to live with those 60 people and Hald. Now, all of this stuff has changed! But I can manege this! (I hope so... hehehe).
Here is a overview about my time in Bergen with NMS...

(Rafaeka and Missjon bazar: nails painted! And how about opening that beauty saloon in Bergen? hehhehe)

2006-10-03T19:23:00.000+02:00

This last night the Hald's fire alarm (which is broken) rang 3 times... It is Tais' fault, because she was really looking forward to see the fire car!At least, we have free coffe today, ok?
