Well the other day i went with alyssa to murjek to pick up her grand parents. We left around six thirty got there at seven then waited for the train scheduled to come it at 7 35. Turns out there was a train accident somewhere and all the trains were stopped so they ended up bussing people around so me and alyssa sat at the bus station till eleven. It made quite an adventure but we had no major plans for the day so i didnt mind. The day before i was hanging out with my friends zacke and jennie, and me and jennie waited outside zacke's house while he went to go get something. Jennie looked at me and asked me if i believed in god and i said yes. She seemed to have a hard time with that she said that we are so normal, she thought that christians were only people who try to talk to you about god and try and convert you because thats the type of christians she said she knew. I found this rather encouraging because we are showing that christians arent boring are strange but that we have faith. We cant always see the impact we make with people. Then two nights ago i was talking to magda about how i was afraid that when i get home that it wont look like home anymore because its not how i left it. " you know i was thinking that about the other day," she said, " the longest ive been away from home is like two weeks for work for school but you voluntairly left you homes for a year to live in strange new place and help". Apperciation! it about brought a tear to my eye. This gives me hope and confidence that we are making a difference and helping.

Hey, Sam...thanks for sharing this, and for being open with your friends in Jokkmokk. You're right that you likely have a bigger impact on people than you think you do.
enjoy your day Sam!
