Today we woke up with a feeling of anxiousness regarding the Good News seminar to be held at 1:30 PM today. We are hoping that this event go well.

But, before the seminar, Bernt and Olga Saxin along with their son Stefan come over from near Gothenburg, Sweden . They wanted to have a visit and we talked for about an hour and a half. Then, all of us walked about 20 minutes to the meeting hall.

I was very pleased with how things went. It was a healthy start for Sweden and can only get better with the new literature that we are planning to offer the public in their native language.

Here is what I wrote for the United News and already sent off to Mike Bennett:

The United of God of God of Sweden (Guds Enade Kyrka) on June 24, 2006 sponsored a Good News seminar in Mjolby. Current and past readers of the Good News magazine were invited to attend. Eleven people were in attendance with four who were non UCG members. Others called before the seminar to ask questions and express interest. Two others contacted organizers Paul and Kira Spenser saying that they would have liked to have come but could not this past weekend. Victor Kubik showed slides of the Chernobyl nuclear reactor and the "Revival" Centre of the Rehabilitation of Disabled Children that he and his wife Beverly just visited . He then spoke positively about what the Bible says about how the Kingdom of God will come and that the world will not end in catastrophe. Listener comments ranged from "exciting and positive," to "thought-provoking, informative, scary but hopeful." Following the seminar everyone gathered at the Spensers for pizza and ice cream. The first Swedish language booklet The Road to Eternal Life is at the printers in Ukraine and will be offered shortly to Good New readers. Other upcoming booklets are What is Your Destiny and The Gospel of the Kingdom. The entire 12 lesson Bible Study Course is in the final editing stage. United Church of God members in Sweden are Paul and Kira Spenser along with Solveig Hammar.
