My second week…

Happy belated Easter, although for those who live with the Lord daily, it’s always Easter!!

It was fun at work again today. I am getting used to my new working area, am getting to know Johan a bit better and start finding my own stuff. It’s very nice to work there, I feel pretty relaxed and begin to like doing the tours with people sinds I know my story a little better. But, there’s more to learn and know and to NOT MIX UP!!:) I get confused about some names and numbers, but slowly it will all settle and go more smoothly everyday. Keep praying!:) Johan is very nice in letting me be, which gives me a bit more confidence to do things. I always get nervous when I’m being watched and feel the best when I’m just with people that don’t know me so I can talk freely. This is NOT to say I don’t want friends around!!! I’ll LOVE to see each of you on the ark!!! I think that the first friends I’ll be able to show around are those that will come for the flowerdays in a few weeks. (That’s when we make Mosaics of flowers in our town which we use to make a Mosaic that has a message on the Gospel and friends will come to help).

In some newspapers it said that the ark would open for the public today. We won’t be able to open before the 30th of April because some things are still not finished. But people came today and some were persistant to come in, some left a bit disappointed, some left with understanding. People differ so much from each other and I realize that some can be a challence to stay nice to… That’s not my strongest quality , so something I will need to work on. (Keep praying!!:))

I did give some tours for people from far away, all very nice people and touched by the work of the ark and the stories we have to share. I loved doing one international group. It was a group that is evangelizing in this area and they were from America, Greece and Romania and some from Holland. So it was in English and good to practise. I love Americans and am almost sure they’ll always be my favorites! Sorry for those who aren’t!!:):)

Getting to more important info now… Many new animals have found their place on the ark. They’re beautiful! 

The fire alarm system should be finished by the end of this week.

The elevator will also be finished by the end of this week.

I am painting some and hopefully we’ll be able to order some books and toys for the shop that we’ll have near the entry-exit area.

Please pray especially for Johan. This is coming so close and there must be a lot on his shoulders to arrange, wait and get finished. I want to be there as much as I can, but this is a big project and when people start coming when there’s still so much to do it must be stressful. So I am going to take care of the visitors so that Johan can keep working, so pray for wisdom for all this. Two more weeks…
