I love the summers here in Sweden! Sunny days, rainy days it doesn't matter to me! We've had a few really warm days, but things seem to always cool off at night! And I love the daylight late into the night! I gotta enjoy it now, because come winter there really won't be any daylight! :) But it is nice taking my puppy outside at 11 or 11:30 at night with it not being really dark out!
O, yes - some big news! I have a new puppy! I got him about a month ago! (Yes, I know - should have updated this thing a long time ago! But if you're friends with me on Facebook, you probably already knew I got the puppy!)

His name is Riley and he just turned 4 months old! He's a Cocker Spaniel/Cavalier Spaniel mix - and super sweet! He has really helped me get to know neighbors around here - and their dogs! But he really is a wonderful little buddy! And always keeping me on my toes!
Things in Sweden kind of slow down in the summer - especially in July. So many people are away on their vacations! Church attendance has been lower because of that - but fellowship has still be sweet! God is really opening up doors for ministry here in Jönköping!

I'm also off of school for the month of July - but that doesn't mean the studying stops! I just finished reading my first John Grisham novel in Swedish - Det Målade Huset (The Painted House). It was a good challenge for me - over 400 pages of Swedish! But it really wasn't hard to read/understand -and I did pick up some new vocabulary from it!
I also get lots of Swedish practice when I'm out with Riley! I'm able to practice my Swedish quite a bit! And all the kids around here love Riley! So I get to spend time hanging out with them too! They help me when I'm stuck with a word! :)
I'm hoping to do some Bible story times out in the yard for the kids around here - maybe at the end of July! It would be kind of a mini-Bible club! Please pray for this possibility!
Some of us church ladies are also getting ready to start a Bible study together! Just waiting for vacations to end - so people are around! :)
I'm also working on a lot of music stuff this month! I have a lot to accomplish in the next month/a half! My sister is coming at the beginning of September, and I have to finish about 6 or 7 songs for her to sing when she gets here! We want to work on another recording while she's visiting!
Well, that's about it for now! Have a great day!
