Seeing familiar faces

Elin and i are realising that many of our friends have "doppelganger" here in Austria. We keep seeing familiar faces. There are even some Swedish family member lookalikes in our church. Many times it serves as a reminder of the friends we have left behind, but it also brings back many fond memories of shared experiences.

The right job for a Swede

Since the beginning of November Elin has been employed at IKEA! It was an answer to prayer that she found work so quickly, and that she is working with a great team there. Before our move we had always joked that she should look for work at IKEA - seeing that she is Swedish. Turns out God does have a sense of humour. :)
She works shifts in the restaurant and snackshop, which is hard work but rewarding. I have noticed that her german is getting better by the day - especially the little conversationfillers (comparable to the north swedish sucking in of air when agreeing with something)
