Svenskar

Right now we are in Torrevieja, a city in Spain, which is full of swedish people, "svenskar". Actually it is full of people from many countries, and particularly in the summer time. Johan, is a swedish pastor who works in Torrevieja and we have spent half of the day in Torrevieja with him. The "Arenius Familia" was invited to his church tonight, to serve with music and testimonies. This was family time of a completely different kind than yesterday.

I taught "Let yourself be loved (En la soledad)" to the congregation, and lead worship. Thorine played a hymn on the flute, and I accompanied on the guitar. Aina and Stella sang a swedish worship song, and for the first time ever Thorine and Stella played a flute duett together. Thorine introduced our work in Spain to the congregation, and I did a bible study from Luke chapter 5. It was good old tradtional church, and it felt great to have the whole family involved.

We met some visiting "svenskar" at the church and we had lots to talk about. At the dinner table Johan told us a lot about his experience from living as a swedish person, with an evangelical faith, in Spain.

Again I am thankful for all the things I have learned today, and excited about what will happen tomorrow!
