Life It Self!
Life is a series of struggles, happiness, challenges, fears and changes. As of the moment I am facing all of this as I was sent to Sweden as a participant of the exchange program. Being part of “Young in a World Wide Church” is a big challenge, opportunity, and honor for me. As we were…

Thank you!
It’s been thirty-six days since I’ve been here in Västerås, but the best thing is I’m not yet homesick. Wanna know why? It’s because of the acceptance this place given to me. I am not a Swedish, yet you treat me as best as your family. It was a very nice feeling being with every…

Life is a Challenge and a Journey!
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…

From Brazil to Sweden!
We, Cátia and Isabella are in a city in the north of Sweden called Umeå, which is part of the Diocese of Lulea. A relatively large city with a large hospital and a great University. We are participating in the parish TEGs FÖRSAMLING. We have met nice and special people during these four weeks in Sweden. Each…

The Journey with God!
Life is capricious. It is a journey set forth to us by our omnipotent God to be traveled upon. In the process of our life’s expedition, we face blissful moments, heartbreaks and pain yet survival with God’s grace and complete submission to His plans should be done. As I walked in my life’s path, I…

God is fair, humans are not
Three weeks in a foreign country is nothing compared to how much one can learn living in a new place for a much longer time. And I am talking about three weeks living almost exclusively in one city. This should be a super easy task, shouldn’t it? We are all the time formulating criteria’s, making…

Avslutningsblogg Pim
Klockan är fyra på natten och jag är fylld av konstiga tidsramar och fortfarande ett jäkla pepp (jag undrar när mitt huvud säger att det är natt?). Vi slog i svensk mark med högsta volym i hörlurarna och skuttade ut ur flygplanet som ystra kalvar, jag kunde allvarligt talat inte hålla i mig. Vi klarade…

Sista veckan i Gravatá
Har haft en relativt lugn sista vecka här i Gravatá. Jag har träffat tanterna en sista gång för deras så kallade yoga som tar död på mig. Vi är nästan lika fascinerade allihop över hur vit hud blir röd på nolltid och hur osmidig det är möjligt att vara! Vi har också haft filmstund med…
