Hi friends! Too much has happened to write it all down now. I’m with the Frontier Film Seminar staff and my classmates, in Southern Thailand, making a film for a Buddhist people group. Veronica is home with the boys.. probably playing Legos about now! Missing me, and I’m missing them! But this is sooo worth it. Enjoy the photos from the past few months! Note – The first few photos are from our time away with Veronica’s family visiting from Sweden. The middle ones are photos in our home. And the last ones are from my Frontier Film Seminar.
We had fun riding mopeds around Sam Roi Yod on vacation with V’s family. Härliga mopedturer runt Sam Roi Yod på semestern med Veronicas familj.
Rasmus – Simply handsome! Rasmus – Så fin!
Lucas fit right into the scene at Dolphin Bay beach. Lucas passar liksom så bra på stranden i Dolphin Bay.
The boys and their grandfather (Matsola) look like naturals on this Thai fishing boat. Pojkarna och morfar ser ut som de inte gjort annat i livet än åkt thailändsk fiskebåt.
Lucas helped his grandmother make her village-famous hällekaka. Well, he helped eat the dough! Lucas hjälpte mormor baka hällakakor. Hrm, eller äta degen mest kanske.
Marcus and Cissi enjoy coconut milk at a food stand in Sam Roi Yod, southern Thailand. Marcus och Cissi provar kokosmjölk i södra Thailand.
..and ready for action! Julius enjoyed his visit to Thailand. ….och Tagning! Julius hade kul i Thailand.
This is where the road ends for this power line. Dolphin Bay. Slutet av elledningen. Dolphin Bay.
Food isn’t Lucas’ most important thing. Mat står inte högt i prioritet för Lucas.
I just love this shot. It wasn’t raining, but Lucas looks so cool. Jag gillar denna bild. Det regnade inte, men Lucas är bara så cool.
If CS Lewis and Tolkien were alive today, Ramsus would surely have some questions to ask them. Om CS Lewis och Tolkien levde idag skulle Rasmus ha mycket att fråga dem om.
Every child has his own God-given character and personality, and nobody better try to change it! Varje barn har fått sin personlighet från Gud. Försöka inte ändra på den!
When the LEGOs are set down, the swords are picked up! När legot ligger nere plockas svärden upp.
When the swords are set down, the movies are turned on. När både svärd ligger nere blir det film.
Lucas had a super fun birthday party. Lots of costumes, games and fun. Lucas hade ett roligt födelsedagskalas. Mycket utklädning och lekar.
If it wasn’t for LEGO, our boys might have had a terrible first few months here. It has kept them occupied in so many good ways.
Lucas made his first step into Kindergarten this day. Lucas har tagit steget in i förskoleklassarens värld.
Speaking of school – Sameh helps FFS students understand their cameras, so we’ll be ready to shoot a beautiful film. På tal om skola. Sameh hjälper eleverna i min skola (Frontier Film Seminar) förstå kamera, så att vi kan göra bra film.
One of our photo assignments was to photograph a Buddhist monk doing something. Here are seven of them.. posing. En hemläxa vi fick var att fota en buddistmunk som håller på med något. Jag tog en av sju stycken som …poserar.
These two guys were kind to smile for me. De här två killarna var vänliga och gav mig ett stort leende.
This is Richard. He’s my fellow student and a quality guy. Richard. Min klasskompis tillika väldigt trevlig kille.

Watch now! – Out Of The Box
Click to watch this first edit of a Public Service Announcement my team made as one of our projects in the FFS. It’s called “Out Of The Box” and is a 60 second ad that another person wrote a screenplay of, and our team had to make the film. We had only a few days to plan, shoot and edit the entire ad.
Pray with the Darbys
Pray for me as I join my FFS team to southern Thailand where we’ll be making a short film for a Buddhist, Unreached People Group down who live there, right near the beach. Life is rough sometimes, and I need to ‘suffer for Christ’ in these ways 😉 Hee!Hee! Pray for travel safety, team unity, and no accidents for our team, our actors or our camera gear. Update! We still need to find the right actor for our main character, a young teenage boy. He needs to be Southern Thai and a good actor. Please pray that God brings him to us.
Pray for Veronica and the boys while I’m gone. They’ll be on their own. Although V is thinking about taking the boys to spend a few nights at a friend’s house who has kids.
Pray for my knee operation. It seems our Swedish insurance company is being a bit directive saying that they have decided I should have my kneee operation back in Sweden. This means that they would fly our entire family to Sweden while I have the 20-30 minute surgery. Practically speaking, it seems like a waste of time and money, but they have the final say. Pray that they will use time and money sense and cover the surgery from here. We have excellent doctors in Chiang Mai, and people come from all over Asia and the Middle East to have these sorts of operations here; even some Europeans! Still, God knows all of this, so we need grace to accept whatever decision is made.
