    Ett litet hej!

    Hej, Mitt namn är Beatrice Ronsten, 19 år gammal och jag kommer från Stenkumla församling i Visby Stift. Precis som Torbjörn är jag en utbytesdeltagare som om en vecka (exakt en vecka idag faktiskt) sätter mig på planet till Sydafrika. Vi fyra som åker till Sydafrika är pionjärer, eftersom Sydafrika är ett nytillskott i UIDVK-familjen.…

    Waking Up from the Longest Dream and the Learnings from Sweden

    Through the Young in the Worldwide Church Program, I was flown into a new society and culture. And as I reckoned my story was similar to that of Dorothy and his friends in the tale, “The Wizard of Oz.” Unexpectedly, these were things that out of the blue just came out like fresh wild flowers…

    At the first service I attended in the Church of Sweden, my eyes were captured by the numerous Candles (Ljus) lit inside the house of worship. Back in my church, it was enough to light at least two candles during the Mass but here, candles can be seen around the altar and for some, spread…
