We arrived here on December 14, and I will have time off for Christmas. We will leave on the evening of December 28 and head to Bergen.

I took a trip to Drøbak yesterday afternoon, where we had a meeting for the young people. In the past three weeks, fourteen souls have been saved among the friends in Drøbak. Aksel and Helga will be here on Christmas Eve. He is planning to go to Sarpsborg on Boxing Day.

Dear brother, there are now open doors everywhere, and the doctrine God has given us will be a solid framework for these newly saved young people. God is adding to the church. In nightly battles He compels them to go the way they do not wish to go. I am very happy that you are coming here and can participate in the meetings.

Br. Theodor Ellefsen went ashore in Kristiansund, and from there he will visit the friends in Molde, Ålesund, and Måløy. Light is dawning; morning is breaking.

Greet your wife, and greet the dear friends in Hønefoss. I wish you and your family a blessed Christmas.

Greetings in the love of Christ from your brother,
