Man who Catch Fly with Chopstick Accomplish Anything

Apologies from the start for what will be a short post. Tomorrow morning I'm off for the weekend to the Christian youth festival Impulse. On the subject of youth festivals I was describing the increasing largeness of the Soul Survivor events to a Norwegian today:

"I think they have three weeks back-to-back now, due to all the applicants."
"All the Africans?"

Upon my return from Impulse I'll be pleased to be attending a happy tenth birthday party. It's been a while, what kind of present do they expect? I suppose a bottle of wine's out of the question.

I've been doing a lot of talking lately. Not just the regular kind, but while standing up, to a number of people, about Jesus. The most recent was yesterday: I went into Bergen to talk at the Christian Union of a secondary school that seems to be called Daniel-san. I'm not sure if Mr Miyagi is still the headmaster or if he just founded the place. I was really pleased with how well it went - it was my first talk without a translator. Not that I spoke Norwegian, they were just extra smart kids. Of course they were, look what their school's called.
