Meeting malagasy people in Oslo

we were attending the Christian Union at Blidern Lagetshuset on wednesday november 19th. Thor Håkon was also there kind of promoting Hald for next year. the meeting was in English so we didn't have to worry to translate. The members are also nice so it was easy to talk them even it was for the first time there. we had dinner first and then the worship part began. I was surprised to see a girl which seemed to be malagasy and she was smiling at me. I didn't expect at all to see someone from my country that day. of course, i knew that there is some malagasy people who living in Norway but not so many. It was really the first time i saw a malagasy in oslo and to talk in Malagasy! i miss my language a lot!
At the end of the meeting, directly asked me where i am from and i responded, "malagasy". it was so nice. Actually, she was also guessed if i was from Madagascar. that was so nice!!! After we were talking for a long time, in Malagasy of course!!! She has been i Norway for one year now and she has met some malagasy before. Now i wish that we could meet more malagay people even though we are not so many here
Tena tsapako fa sarotra ny lavitra an'i Madagasikara, ilay nosy malalanay!!!!

Youth meeting

we are attending a youth meeting in Mysen last friday. we left home in the afternoon andtook the train to Mysen. First we had a dinner with Solveig, our mothers sister and one of the youth leader in Mysen. The meeting started at 6. it was also the halloween so all the young people there were dressed in the occasion.It was a funny evening.it reminded me the carnaval at Hald.
The next day we went to join our host families in Sarpsborg by bus. That was also a very "koselig week end". we went to their cabine near Fredrikstad. In the afternoon, we had a little trip in the small beach where to used to go for the summer time. it was very cold but anyway i found the place wonderful. it remind me a bit the town where i am from. That was a wonderful weeek end.
