Moose on the side of the road on our way home from Akebrands on 27 June 2009. He had traffice stopped with 6 police cars trying to get him back through the fence and off the freeway.

I had a wonderful surprise birthday given to me by Sister Cherrington. I also had a great birthday lunch at the mission office and everyone sang a fun Swedish Birthday song to me. We attended the baptism of Rong Wan, a darling Chinese young lady who saw the elders on the train and asked them if she could learn about their church. Talk about "golden". She has accepted everything and wants to do everything right. What a sweet girl.

We went to Vaxholm on Saturday, which is a beautiful vacation spot for tourists. There is an old fortress there used years ago to protect Stockholm from attack. Akebrands invited us to a wonderful dinner Saturday evening and then we took a drive and walk around the Grand Hotel and sea at Saltjobaden.
