Trips to England and Linköping!

We traveled from Säve airport, with Gun and Gunnar Hedqvist, direct to London, where a man came and picked us up, and drove us to the hotel in Oxford.

Gun and Gunnar, came in every morning and evening, to the hotel room, to take care of Håkan. It felt so good to have them with us; otherwise, we wouldn’t have managed that trip.

Last year, two weeks before the fire, we were in Oxford together, at Salt & Light’s conference. They prayed for us there, for the work in Scandinavia and Europe.

Now we were there again, at the same place; it was like taking our places again, one year later. The year has been full of turbulence, but has finished in victory, for us as a family, but also for the Kingdom of God.

The first days, we met different leaders from Europe. Their joy, seeing and meeting Håkan, caused our hearts to be filled once again with thanksgiving over Håkan’s life and his quick healing process.

On Thursday evening, the conference started, where in the beginning, they took us forward – what an applause there was, a real tribute to the Lord, who is the God of life, who by His grace has let us go through this with His victory. The tears ran, on both Håkan and me; it’s so great that we are where we are now.

For Håkan’s sake, we came home earlier. What we were able to participate in was enough for us, this first time.

On Tuesday morning, the taxi came and picked us up to drive us to Linköping. Håkan had a follow-up appointment at the burn unit.

There we met doctors who examined Håkan and were amazed by the rapid healing. Everything is documented and photographed.

Many nurses came and greeted us – those who sat by Håkan’s side day and night for 3-4 months. Håkan recognized some of them by their voices.

Jakob, the physical therapist who contended with Håkan, was moved when he came and saw, for him, the new Håkan. Once again, we are struck by the miracle that Håkan made it through this ordeal, that today he is well on his way back.

Two trips, so close together, take a lot of energy, but at the same time, a processing that we must do so we can move on.

Future:

Please pray for the operation the 10th of March, down at Sahlgrenska in Gothenburg, when Håkan’s lower right eyelid will be repaired again.

Please pray that everything will be finished in the house before we move in.

Thank you, Jesus, that you are the Way, the Truth and the Life!!!

God bless you all!!!
Many hugs,
Gunilla
