the world is a strange strange place.....

well hello people. Ive become quite the traveller, right now im in england seeing the sights and hanging out with the team from bradford. Traveling around london is a real shock after being in Jokkmokk for so long. Its quite fast paced, and its got me thinking how much ive enjoyed being a nice slow paced area. Peaceful with time and places to be by yourself. We get nearer and nearer to going home, there are times when we wont talk about it because its to hard to think about and other times we cant seem to stop talking about it. Anyway a schedule update. we get back from england on the 2nd of july then we are at the lappis convention (kinda like convention back home) till the fifth. Then we are in jokkmokk till the 13th then we helping at a camp till that friday. then we are in jokkmokk till we go home. I know this isnt the most exciting entry but i thought i should write.

Singing freedom is where you think it is

So i know its been awhile for the sweden team to write in there blogs and my mother is rather persistent in telling me i should write here more often so this is my effort. The team is good, the weather is nicer then it was in the winter but mostly its been cloudy and rainy. We are getting use to the fact that schools over this week and yet we wont be here when it starts up again. Im alittle heart broken to leave though i miss home often. Yesterday i drove my friend magda and her band to volurim which is a town about 45 mins away from jokkmokk to play a gig. Afterwards we stopped at the gas station and a guy with a really big back pack came up to us and asked if we spoke english. Well the short version is we picked up a hitchhiker hahaha. Nice guy from belgium name of bart and he s my age so thats pretty cool. But yeah hes been traveling for ten weeks just hitchhiking around europe before he goes to college. He looked like he could use a good shower and a hot meal so i offered to let him stay at our place. Ive never seen a more grateful look on someones face. Its funny how life works because first we were going to take a small car that just fit everyone but then we got the van. Then we were going to stop for gas but then decided not to but magda wanted to stop and get food. Just alot of things worked out in a funny way. i spent most of yesterday just hanging out with friends walking around and talking. It was just so nice and more so now that the sun never goes down. Im excited to go back home but im sad to leave all the friends we made here. But such is life i guess. Anyway we are going to england the end of this month for vacation so yeah. Hope your day is filled with joy and good company wherever you may be reading this from,
Blessings,
