Time to post some new pics!!!

Before i show you some pictures from our church camp that we had this weekend i want to show you two pictures of one event that took place while i was in the States on my vacation. That was the dedication service of my little nephew...Filip. My sister-in-law's family and my family where present...except me...who...as i already said...was in the Sates on a vacation. Anyway....my sister-in-law's dad and my dad conducted the dedication. They all said it was such a neat event!!! After the service the two familys and some of their relatives...all in all about 20 persons....went to have lunch together in a very nice restaurant. Too bad i missed this prescious occasion!!! Well...that's life!! Anyhow...below are two pictures that were taken during the dedication. The man on the left is my sister-in-law's dad...and the one on the right is my dad.

 

 

Here are some pictures from our churchcamp. We really had a great time!!! Everyone seemed to enjoy it A LOT!!!! Most of these pictures were taken daturday afternoon....while we were playing all kinds of games.

 

 

Bowling....was one of many competitions!!! It was fun....but a difficult to play on grass. Well...that actually made it even more fun!!! By the way...this is my foster brother, Danny.

 

And here's a typical finnish competition....."throw the boot".....and as the name indicates...you are supposed to throw the boot as far as you can!!! I admit...it sounds a bit stupid....but when you play it....it is fun!!! Try it!!!! Here my brother is just supposed to throw.

 

The camp was located in a very nice area....basically in the middle of nowhere....next to a beautiful lake. Some even went swimming.....after the sauna. The sauna was suficcient for me....i didn't need to go swimming in order to have a great time. I preferred the heat of the sauna!!!

 

What would a camp be with a traditional evening fire....and barbeque? I guess...not a camp at all!!!! Sausage is the finnish vegetable.....so as usual....we had good sausages (hmmmm...is this how you spell this word....don't know?!).

 

So...this was a little bit from our churchcamp. This weekend we will have a "reunion weekend" with all the missionary trainees that were sent out throw PMU. I really look forward to that!!! It will be great to see all the trainees and hear all their stories!!!

Today after work i went for a little walk....and it was sooooo beautiful!!! All the leaves of the trees were turning red and yellow.....and the fresh cool air....and the warm sun!!! Wonderful!!! I haven't been home and experienced the Swedish fall for 4 years....so now i enjoy it more than ever!!!! I took some beautiful pictures.....and i thought i want to show them to you....but i'll do it some other day. So...come back and you will see "Sweden in the fall!!!"

Have a good week......and God bless!!!
