Continuing the thought from the previous post, meet last Sunday's visitor, Thor Martin Edwardson...he's from Norway, as his name would indicate. Except that in reality he's Polish and Thor isn't the name he was born with. He and his wife are Baptists from Poland who moved to Norway 5 years ago. I think the name change had to do with finding a way to keep from having to always explain to people how to pronounce his Polish name.

We've had visitors from Norway in our services from time to time, but as far as I remember this is our first visitor from Poland. Thor's wife stayed with their baby, who was not feeling well, and due to a quirk in the automatic cash machines, they couldn't get cash on their bank card, so they were somewhat limited in their cash-based activities (taxis, for example). We had a good time of fellowship with Thor, who is active in a Baptist church near Oslo.

You've all heard of the North Pole. Well, we've had the blessing of meeting one.
