Sweden till now... :D

It is about time to upgrade my international weblog. So here I am :D
After a wonderful time in Switzerland it was the time to enjoy the awesome and gorgeous nature of Sweden. As a travelling guide I took 40 young people, in the age between 17 and 30 years, to Idre Fjäll, a beautiful resort near Idre. That’s near the boarder of Norway. We travelled for two days to reach it, but the place was magnificent. The houses had all facilities like a sauna, microwave and everything you need in a luxury kitchen. The mooses where walking around the houses and the grill place, unbelievable.
We have done a wide schedule of activities like rafting, cycling, driving, canoeing, walking etc. and of course we have enjoyed each other. Every evening we ended the day with a bible study, it was incredible that the group, with 40 members, was so close and everyone was having a good time with each other. There have been no problems and there was a lot of interactivity.
I asked the group to bring in some ideas for activities so two guys introduced the idea of organising Candlelight (that was a Dutch program on the radio, where people can bring in their poems and that a guy recites it. So they organised that and there were many poems about the nature, some love poems and go so on. They also wrote two verses about me :D Kind of funny…
But it was a great time with each other!
After my time in Sweden I went to work for four weeks in the home care by cleaning up in houses where the householder was not able anymore to do it by there own.
But tomorrow it is time to start my trainee ship. I looking forward to start, it will be the report to end my study in Rotterdam :D
I am going to do a survey at the organisation called De Hoop (The Hope) where people can go to when they are addicted. De Hoop Foundation is a centre for Christian addiction care and psychosocial care in Dordrecht, the Netherlands. Their website is also in English, when you are interested to look at it, just go to www.dehoop.org and click on the English flag.
Later on I am going to inform you all about how I am surviving there! :D

Heej Marije!!
Ik ken je helemaal niet, en jij mij ook niet daarom is dit ook best wel gek.. Allereerst vind ik het super vet wat je allemaal doet en waar je allemaal heen gaat en dat het zo duidelijk is dat je van Jezus houdt!! echt heel stoer!!
Maar dan nu, het is een lang verhaal maar ik ga het proberen kort te houden, ik ben op zoek naar Simons emailadres omdat hij mij zou mailen over de week skieen in 2008, maar hij mailt maar niet (vast vergeten) dusi k ging zoeken op google naar zwolle hollandse skiweken enz, en zo kwam ik bij jouw site (dat was ook de enigste) ik zag de foto's en herkende de zalen avn het hotel, en Nelleke van Wijngaarden enz enz, dus ik dacht: jij bent mijn laatste hoop!! jij moet een van de groep geweest zijn!! dus sorry dat ik hier al je mooie verhalen verstoor met zo'n dom en stom verhaal met de vraag: heb je mail van Simon of iets van jullie kerk ofzo?? zou je dat willen mailen naar an.22@hotmail.com.. echt heel erg sorry voor zoiets nutteloos, en waarschijnlijk zit je nu nog steeds in verweggistan maar als je het hebt, je zou me er een groot plezier mee doen!!
Veel plezier nog! Be blessed! en ik hoop dat je iets voor me kan betekenen!!
