First of all, we celebrated Midsommar, the traditional Swedish holiday on Summer Solstice. It was full of the normal festivities like dancing around the Midsommar pole and eating a lot of traditional Swedish food. We got to celebrate and dance at a pretty awesome castle called Örenäs and then my companion and I were able to help carry the Midsommar pole and place it. It was pretty awesome and I felt really cool walking with it as hundreds of people were cheering and clapping. It was a great Midsommar!
Another super cool thing was that we were able to visit the Koenigsegg car factory that is located in our area. They only make 15 or so cars a year but they are some of the fastest and most expensive cars that can be bought. We didn't have a tour atranfdd or anything, we just kinda showed up and were able to get let in and talk with some people there. Turns out one of them is a member of the church actually! It was super cool.
While we were out there in the city of Ängelholm we decided to stop and check out an airplane museum that was next to the car factory there. That was really interesting too!
There were some good miracles and experiences we had this week but one was pretty special. We were walking down the street of a nearby city on Saturday. As we were doing so, a person on a bike biked across an intersection and happened to look back at us and then the person swung over to talk with us. It turned out to be a member that recently moved here from another country and had been in church a few weeks ago. He told us about how his friend he had come with had to return home so now he's completely alone here without knowing the language. We were able to h3lp him out a bit, explain some things he needed for a bus card, and to get his co tact situation so we could get in contact with him later and help get him to church. It wad a gander mercy that showed that he was being watched over and helped when he needed it. It was good to be a part of that.
Anyways, have a great week!
