I have stayed here for more than a month now. Living in different families is difficult because I never know if I could fit in them, but Swedes are nice people, they might love to have space from others but they are very sweet to their families and they are very welcoming. I am really touched on how they treat each other at home.
In this place which is a total opposite of my home country I struggle to live, I am trying my best to impart the things I have learned from one of the influencial people in my life, he said that the Church has four pillars: first areThe Bishops, Priest and Deacons, second are The Women , third are The Men, fourth are The Youths, they are the ones who serve the Church unconditionally and these four composed the Church, if one is missing, the Church will be unbalanced. They are bind together by their faith in God which makes them work as one.
As a youth leader I always think that nothing is impossible because from the word itself ”I’M POSSIBLE” in God everything is possible if we really have the Faith and Trust in Him. That message keeps me going in my everyday life and since I only have few days more in this congregation I am really thankful that I have met and gained new friends and have this wonderful experience which will hone me to be a better person and a server to God!
”For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future”
Jerimiah 29:11
Although I hate goodbyes, soon we have to meet our new friends from the next congregation 🙂
Tack så mycket for the warm welcome and for letting us stay in Önsta Gryta Forsamling!
