Radisson Sas Linkoeping Hotel Linköping

After a long weekend of partying it was time to take it easy. On Tuesday we went to McDonalds and final got our daime McFlurrys, well worth the wait, and then we visited Maria in Mantorp. She has a very beautiful house and an amazing bedroom. As we came in you could hear this strange pattering sound getting louder and louder and before you knew it a black sausage dog came bursting forth from around the corner. I don't know if I've ever ...

... This was more my style. There was a battle of the DJs with 5 DJs from around the area spinning for the title. The music was RnB and Street. We all had a great time dancing (or shaking our junk in the trunk as Ivana paraphrases lol) and fell out of the club when it closed at 2am. My favourite DJ didn't win, but they were all really good. I really enjoyed the Swedish music as well. Who would have thought i'd have to fly across the world to find a club that i actually like?

... isolation, are very knowledgeable about what is happening in our Church world and have lots of things to talk about. Finally, we end our last night in Sweden and this trip. It's been a great trip. We go to sleep about the time the Super Bowl is about to begin. Be sure to come back and see each of the entries with photos....will add photos as soon as I get back to the USA.

Day 3 was our last day and we had to get up really early for a bus at around 5 in the morning. We then had hours to kill before our flight home. On the flight we were just leaving when someone was taking ill so we had to go back and unload them, they were taken off in an ambulance.<br><br>

We spent the second day just chilling out and looking around the town (not much to see in winter) before heading to a sports bar for dinner and then to the concert.<br><br>The concert was amazing and afterwards we went to the stage door. After waiting ages we were told that Kerry and Mazz had gone out the front door so we ran round the front, highly embarassing as it was a glass building so Mazz saw us run round.

... there was a code on the door and we had no coins for a phone. Some Swedish people rang for us though so eventually we go in, we then forgot the code and had to ring again when we tried to get in later. So we decided to go and find the venue but couldn't get out because the train station was shut! It was quite weird being locked inside a train station. Anyway some guys in the hostel told us how to get ...

... the keyboard as everyone heartily joined into the singing. Then I gave what amounted to a sermonette about children who are our treasure and spoke about how they are valued in every culture, but most of all by God. While we do all we can to protect our children, we are asking for God's blessing and protection tonight. Then I quoted two examples of Jesus blessing children in the New Testament and how He used the events to focus on the Kingdom of God and humility. Marianna ...

... be able to see her there when we at the Council of Elders conference in there at the end of February. Tomorrow is a big day. We will go to Lindkoping not far away and look at it as a potential site for the Feast of Tabernacles in 2009. Tomorrow evening we will have the blessing of their daughter Vikoria. The Spensers have saved this to be a family event as 15 of Kira's family will be there. We will sing songs and I'll give a short message about children.

... to the event to ensure ring side seating. When one wasn't engrossed in the competition, there were booths to walk around with various cow products: automatic milking machines, cow food, bull semen, etc. Tractors and such machines were also on hand for viewing. All in all , a great mind-broadening weekend experience culminating in a hamburger dinner.

I've been getting lots of requests to update this and I figured I might as well just sit down and write it. Some of you out there know more of the recent happenings than others but here's a quick recap: -I did atually make it home on my original flight from australia, and landed in the states in Washington D.C. Christmas day. -I thought it would take a bit longer, but it only took about 5 days to realize that I ...
