Spoiler alert..

If you're one of those people that don't want to hear anything about the convention before it happens, don't read on. Or just jump ahead to where it says "End of spoiler alert"


Friday was awesome!

End of spoiler alert.

It was interesting to be back at a Swedish convention. Sooooo many people to speak to, and some of them I had a hard time recognizing. It gets a little depressing when you see kids that you remember as babies who are now full-grown adults with kids of their own.
Kathryn said she understood quite a lot of the program even though it was in Swedish, so maybe we should return here and join a Swedish congregation instead.

The weather was beautiful, sunny and very pleasant, not too hot but warm enough to enjoy our lunch outdoors. We sat on a stair with a very nice sister who was in the truth with an unbelieving husband. It's always nice to make acquaintance with new friends at conventions.

After we got back home in the evening we had some pizza and then Kathryn and I went for a walk in the neighborhood. It doesn't really get very dark at night, so the pictures during our walk are bright and nice.
We found some local escargot trying to make it across the path we were walking on. Kathryn decided to give it a try.

Sorry about the brief posts, but this weekend is kind of busy. Just wait until Gothenburg, things will get interesting.

For today, we'll have a simple quiz, since no one seems to be interested in the awesome candy prices, or possibly, the questions have been too difficult.

How old is Härnösand, the city we're living in? (3 points) and how far away from Sundsvall (the convention city) is it located? (3 points more)

After things are calmed down, I will do a tally of the points so far, but things are looking good for Foma, probably because of the lack of tax-papers on his desk.

  2. I agree with Phil - Härnösand was founded in 1585 making it 428 years old. It is 52.8 km from Sundsvall.
