My name is Kelvin Cleophas, I am twenty years old even though I came to Sweden when I was nineteen, but now I am twenty already. This means I celebrated my birthday in Sweden! <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I come from Tanzania and I was born in Bukoba district located in Kagera region. I come from a family of five children and I am the second born. My father has passed away but my mother is alive. I just finished my secondary education last year so I hope to join the high school in July this year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

God is truly good<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

My local parish is Rubale and I was baptized and went through confirmation there. The Diocese l come from is the Northwestern Diocese and the bishop is Dr.Abedinego Keshomshahara. I grew up in the church and I have been involved in various Christian contexts throughout my childhood. I’m a choir singer in youth choir at my parish today. When I was studying in secondary school l was a Lutheran youth leader secretary. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

During this time l have learned many things about church and society in general. I have also been to a meeting and discussion with youths about church activities. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Exchange time in Sweden<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

l’m among of the participants from Bukoba, for this first period in the parishes in Sweden I have been in Lule\u00e5 for three weeks and visited various parishes such as Mj\u00f6lkuddskyrkan, \u00d6rn\u00e4set and EFS. During this time l have learned many things about church and society in general. I have also been to a meeting and discussion with youths about church activities. l got to ask them some questions and they asked me too. l have also learned about how baptism, confirmation and holy communion is performed in churches in Sweden. In Ume\u00e5 I have been for two weeks and learned more about church and culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
