They come from east and west…

This week Dave and Pauline Tidy from England have been here. They have visited Håkan several times. On Saturday, Håkan was on leave from the hospital, so he was at home in the apartment for dinner. Naturally, it was pork chops, Håkan’s favorite food, with our guests, Dave and Pauline.

Last week Hannah and Eliyahu from Israel came up to the hospital. What an encouragement for Håkan. Two weeks ago, Beckie Baraka, a good friend of the family and church, came from Kenya. She is one of the pastors in a church we’re friends with in Nairobi, Kenya, where Håkan and we have been many times. They are 8000 members, and they’re standing with us in prayer also.

It means so much to us, all you who have contacted us. I sat this week, here at home, with Håkan when he came home for a visit, and read all the greetings on the blog, after he had recorded his latest greeting. You can’t imagine how much it means to Håkan and me, that you are still with us, think about and pray for us. The tears just ran for both of us… Thank you, Lord! Thanks all of you friends!

Thank you also for all the gifts which have been sent to us. I haven’t needed to worry a single day about finances. As soon as a need has come up, someone has sent money to us. Thank you for your love. I can’t find words – don’t know how I can thank you. We feel so loved, by you and our heavenly Father. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!

Håkan is still on the rehab unit at Uddevalla Hospital, training every day, has a bath and bandage change every other day, Monday, Wednesday and Friday. The sores on his body are healing well. It was on its way to getting infected on his head and forehead. The sore is open and because of that, he has a bandage around his head.

Håkan’s gait is getting better and better. He doesn’t need a shadow anymore, and walks totally on his own. He is of course a careful type, by nature, so he doesn’t take any risks and hasn’t fallen once. Thank goodness!

Yesterday I was up with Mikaela and Josefine, two of our youth in the church, who will go to South Africa for a Bible school and outreach in an African country. They wanted to meet Håkan before they left. He prayed for them, and they prayed for Håkan. It was a nice time. They expressed that we are their spiritual parents and their love for everyone in the church. Such moments are precious. Thank you, Jesus!

Eva from Dalsland came up to Håkan with homemade jam and blueberry pie. That was good…they come from east and west…

Thanks for being there…

God bless you all!
