They have arrived!

The new students have finally arrived, and, ah!.... We are so excited! They are INCREDIBLE! We are already just so impressed with them. They seem to be very mature and humble and so powerful! Each one has so much to offer, and we can see that they were hand picked by God for this year. They are bonding already and I can tell that they are just longing for more knowledge of God in their hearts, their minds, their art. 

We have nine different nations in the student body alone. We have 23 students this year coming from the Philippines, Israel, Norway, Canada, USA (Hawaii), Germany, Finland, Switzerland, and Holland! This doesn't even include the staff for this year! 

Caleb and I have been working hard and having fun for the past couple of weeks getting things together for the European Arts Festival which begins next week. We are leading worship and playing in a few songs with other people as well as playing at Lyspunktet, a GREAT coffeehouse next to the fjords in Ålesund. We have been in the studio and art factory for several hours several days of the week! After the festival, we will be getting into more of a routine..... I think!
