Jönköping adventure
Sunday was an absolutely beautiful day. It’s sunny but a bit cool with the wind that blew across the lake. I had decided to go to church and enjoy the Easter service. Several people spoke about the meaning of the season, and I got to meet several more people. I was greeted warmly and kindly,…
