On Wednesday we woke up to rain, wind and an outside temperature which was closer to freezing that I expected. We have noticed that it is generally colder now than the first few days we were here. I am also seeing more snow on the mountains. We have also noticed that it has been very very windy with powerful gusts during the day when we are driving to Reykyavik but later around sunset it become peaceful. The drive back to Keflavik after our Bible studies are rather calm.

We met again for our fourth day at Marias´ house. This continues to be productive. Jimmie began with a lesson for the first hour whereupon a question was raised and we spent the next two hours answering the question. It seems that Gyða is not convinced that a good man (a very good man) would be punished eternally by God if that man did not obey the gospel - become baptised. Her foster fother was evidently a very good man and read his Bible regularly. If that is true then he did not die as an ignorant man. He will be judged as one who read the will of God but refused to act wholely upon it. That is difficult to hear and is an emotional subject. The fact is that punishment waits for the man who knew to do right and did not do it. It also waits for the one who did not know the will of God and then died in sin. The Gospel is here for a reason. If men were in a place of safty in ignorance then God should never have given us the Bible which brings us the truth. And it is the truth which makes us free not ignorance. If ignorance were a safe place then Jesus shoud never have given the great commission to anyone.

It was a productive but tiring day. We returned back to Keflavik at about 10:15 P.M. and went to bed.
