Søndag morgen
Jeg vil fortelle dig lit om vordan vi har det jeg vil si at Herren er god. Vi har nu fult bror Øian til hans siste vilested og han er nu hjemme hos Jesus. Det var en herlig begravelse prise jesus. Vi samledes i logelokalet og der forgjik krandspaalæggingen og det var en herlig stund Herren var os nær efterpaa var vi i bedehuseth til en fest Svebak og Svorkmo talte vi indbød helle følget dit og mange kom som vi ikke før har set der var med og fik høre livets ord priset ver jesus som gjir kraft til sine smaa. Igaarkvel var vi en hel del samlet op hos Øians alle barna var hjemme og det blev et frelsesmøte tak og lov til herren 3 av dem vilde fra fars død tilhøre jesus og tagemod frelsen i ham det var Peder John Magrethe og jig ved at han som er faarenes hyrde vil bevare Dem i sit naven tak og lov, og di andre kommer snart efter for det er nu flere som ber for dem. Øian samlet sine om sig paa det siste og tog det løfte av dem at dem maatte jive jesus hjerte. Og det Øian ikke magtet ved sit liv det magter jesus ved Øians død Haleluja. Du maa hilse Julie med dette at jesus hører bønner og sender sin aand i rigt maal bed for os og prise hans naven som kjøpte os fri til sin himmel tak og lov er ikke dette stort at vi skal arve himelen der vor jesus er og alle vores som tror.
Det har veret flere bønnemøter hos Øians siden han jik hjem til far det er nu 4 av dem som bøier knæ for den levende Gud jeg tror at Dem seire over sig selv det er Peder John Magrethe Solveig. Bernhart er ikke kommet saa langt men han komer vel han og Erling.

Sunday morning
I’d like to tell you a little bit about how we are doing I’d say that the Lord is good. We have now accompanied brother Øian to his last resting place and he is now at home with jesus. It was a wonderful funeral praise to jesus. We gathered at the lodge where the laying down of the wreath took place and it was a wonderful moment the Lord was with us afterwards we had a party at the chapel Svebak and Svorkmo spoke we had invited all the mourners and many came whom we have not seen before and who got to hear the word of life praise to jesus who give power to his little ones. Yesterday evening many of us were gathered at Øian’s place all the children were at home and it became a salvation meeting thanks and praise to the lord 3 of them wanted to belong to Jesus and receive salvation in him from the time of their father’s death they were Peder John Magrethe and I know that he who is the sheperd of the sheep will keep Them in his name thanks and praise, and the others will follow soon because there are now many who are praying for them. Øian gathered his family around him at the end and took the promise from them that they must give their hearts to jesus. And what Øian did not manage to do by his life jesus will manage to do by Øians death Haleluja. Tell Julie from me that jesus hears prayers and sends his spirit in rich measures pray for us and praise the name of him who bought us free to his heaven thanks and praise isn’t this big that we will inherit heaven where jesus is and all of ours who believe.
There have been several prayer meetings at Øian’s since he went home to father there are now 4 of them who kneel for the living God I think that They will gain victory over themselves they are Peder John Magrethe Solveig. Bernhart hasn’t gotten that far but he and Erling will surely follow.
Greetings
