To Reykjavik and the USA

To Reykjavik via beauty!

 

 

 On to Reykjavik for our last 2 days in Iceland...

It is Sunday and we are on our way to Reykjavik with an appointment to minister at Fridrik's Church at 1:30pm.  WooHoo!!!  The time we have spent with Friedrik has been rich!  God has confirmed much to Fridrik about the heart-vision he had years ago and He has knitted our hearts!  There will be more to come--more visits to Iceland and, I believe, visits to the United States.

After the service Fridrik took us on a tour outside of Reykjavik to a valley area that is beautiful.  We heard many childhood stories of a young Friedrik risking life and limb to climb the steep mountains of the area ("up one step and slip down two steps")
 As we were driving and talking about the things of God (interspersed with exclamations of God's beautiful creation as seen in Iceland) we were blessed to see 3 rainbows--and this is the first day we've seen rainbows here!  We took as a sign of God's promises regarding Iceland!

As I mentioned, our time together was wonderful!  After dinner Fridrik took us to our Reykjavik hotel, Arctic Comfort, which turned out to be a dive!  We couldn't stand the atmosphere nor the smell.  So, thank God for Fridrik who had a parishioner who is big in the hotel industry and found us a suite in a lovely, new Residence...fit for a King (LITERALLY!!  King Christian X of Denmark stayed in our room in 1926...yes, the rooms have been remodeled since then!).

Excellent night's sleep, which is difficult when there are only 4 hours of dark, and off to see the sights and purchase merchandise!

Our time here has been absolutely wonderful--beautiful people, beautiful country, God has moved, God has blessed and we are full!  It is sad to leave, but it will be good to come home to family, friends and puppy dogs!!

Good Bye, Iceland!!!
