We are the Champions!

This weekend marked a huge point in history!

Every year, the adventist boarding schools in Norway, Sweden, Finland and Denmark get together here at Vejlefjord to compete in a Volley Ball Champion ship. It was exciting meeting people from all over Scandinavia, but the games were definitely the highlight! The girls played extremely well, and came off in thrid place in the comp. It was a massive effort, but the girls from Norway were machines, and took out First place. It was so good to be able to watch the girls play. One of our girls plays for a local team, and is particularly skilled at volley ball.

This is a snap shot of the girls battle with Finland for third place.

The boys team played EXCEPTIONALLY well, and made it through to the grand final! The match was set against Norway (No suprises there! They are a very good team!).

Team Hustle.

Let's go boys! We are the Yellow ones.

Mid game.

Just a few photos from the game. It was really exciting to watch, the boys are really really good players! Norway was breathing down our necks as they matched us point for point until the Vejlefjord boys took a small lead in the last few minutes of the game. The boys won the set point and for the first time in 30 years, Vejlefjord won the championship! A massive congratulations is due to the boys and girls teams :) I have a video of the set point of the winning game, but I cannot make it upload! I will try again tomorrow! It is worth watching to get a feel of the atmosphere at the game :)

Yesterday it snowed! The snow didn't stick around long, but it was so lovely having a reward for the cold weather!

THe grounds and tables.

The view out of the dining hall windows. Those buildings are private homes where some teachers live.

View to my dorm.

The 'football' field and some of the grounds.

The frosty lunch tables outside the dining hall.

This is my cozy little abode. I live here with about 40 girls and 3 Student Missionarys.

This is the view from my bedroom window. The building there is the church.

I have seen snow before, but I have never lived in a place where it snows regularly! So this has made me excited for the cooler months! I have heard it is meant to snow properly in Feb and April, and is looking to get a lot colder. I have heard rumours of -12 degrees celsius. I am not keen. But I look forward to lots of hot chocolate and looking out at the cold from the warm Hygge-liness from inside!

I am so busy usually that I forget that this blog even exists! I know it is terrible, so I will make a concerted effort to blog more when exciting things happen! I thank you for reading my words, and following me in my adventures. It is nice to know people are reading! Thank you for your prayers and comments. They make all the difference! Love from afar!
