Kjære Broder!

Guds fred!

Tak for brevene som jeg har foet fra dig  det glæder mig at høre at du har det godt.  Vi i gamle Norge og paa Stjørdalen har det bare bra  vi kan si hidtil har Herren hjulpet priset vere hans naven, vi har mad nok enda og jeg er forvisset om at herren skal sørge for sine paa den onde dag.  Konrad har veret lit daarlig men er nu bra  min kone er lit daarlig men vi tror det gaar over snart nu herrens vilje for skje,  Vi har lite virksomhed her nu, men guds aand er virksom i blandt vort folk  flere er kommet til jesus udover landet ivinter og vi tror at flere kommer.  vi beder om vederkvegelsens tider ogsaa over vort sted men tilidag har Herren holdt sin haand tilbake  Svorkmo driver paa andre siden havet nu  vor han er henne nu ved jeg ikke  maatte han kjende kraften fra det høie.

Du for vere tro paa din post broder for jesus kommer snart!  og da er vi fri og skal se ham som han er, med de hjennemstugne hender  da skal de vere evig glæde halleluja  maatte vi faa nogen med os til Himlen.  lev vel i jesus og hans naade til vi møtes i sjy med vor frelser tak og lov

Hilsen med Aab. 21: 27.

Venligst Broder Axel og familie

Hilsen fra Eilif. Herborg. Arne

alle er friske og snild mod mor og far.

Dear Brother!

God’s peace!

Thank you for the letters I have received from you  it pleases me to hear that you are doing well.  Here in old Norway and at Stjørdalen we are doing well  we can say that sofar the Lord has helped praised be his name, we have enough food still and I’m sure the lord wil provide for his own on the wicked day.  Konrad has been a little ill but is well now  my wife is a little ill but we think it will pass soon the lord willing, We have little activity here now, but god’s spirit is working among our people  several have come to jesus around the country this winter and we think more will follow.  we pray for the times of comfort over our area as well but sofar the Lord has withheld his hand  Svorkmo is operating on the other side of the ocean now  where he is now I don’t know  may he feel the power from above.

Be faithful on your post brother for jesus is coming soon!  And then we are free and will see him as he is, with his pierced hands  then there will be eternal joy halleluja  may we take a few to Heaven with us.  live well in jesus and his grace till we meet in the sky with our saviour thanks and praise

Greetings with Rev. 21: 27.

Brother Axel and family

Greetings from Eilif. Herborg. Arne

all are well and good to their mother and father.
