On our second night in Sweden, we experienced Fika, a Swedish tradition of fellowship and food in downtown Stockholm. This is some of the ministry team in the Stockholm area. We feel so blessed to be joining these incredible people in ministry.

We, Keegan and Rebecca Christ, wanted to update you on our mission to Sweden. Thank you so much for your love and support. Enjoy! Hurray!! We have arrived safely in Sweden. Thank you all so much for your prayers and support that has paved the way for this ministry. We are overjoyed, overwhelmed, exhausted, and confused among many other emotions. Since we arrived here just under two days ago, we have met the current ministry team in Tåby and Upsalla, settled into our awesome apartment, and helped prepare for camp.

A quick summary of the last two days:

June 12:

9:30am Arrive in Sweden without any luggage after little sleep and nearly missing our connection in Copenhagen, Denmark.

10:30 Take a quick revitalizing shower.

11:00 Meet/ BBQ with the Young Life team from throughout Sweden.

1:00pm Quick trek to our new apartment and to wait for our luggage to arrive.

3:00pm Get our personal number (like Social Security Number) which helps us get Swedish classes and electricity in our apt, etc...

5:00pm Help paint scenery for Young Life Camp

7:00pm Had our first Grocery shopping experience and a quick bite to eat.

7:50pm Keegan went to bed/ Becka stayed up waiting for the rest of our luggage to be delivered and cleaned apartment so she wouldn't fall asleep before delivery.

11:10pm Luggage finally arrives...Sleep at last!

June 13:

10am Woke up very groggy and confused. Went to Don Walls' house to help prepare for camp/ help sew more kilts.

1pm After quick lunch we met more YL people and helped prepare for camp.

6pm Dinner at Marcus's house, a cool YL volunteer who is helping at camp

8:30pm Quick Stockholm tour and Fika tradition.

11pm Get back to apartment...Keegan crashed...Rebecca could not sleep, despite trying everything, she finally fell asleep at 6:30am for 3.5 hours

Needless to say, it has been a whirlwind. Please be patient with us. We are thinking of you in the midst of the chaos...though we haven't been able to call or get internet until today. After camp we hope to settle in and be in better contact with you. Thanks for your prayers!!!

Pray for Camp!

Please pray for us this week as we join the Young Life team in helping lead this outreach ministry in Holsby, Sweden. Please pray for our team, the speakers, and the youth. We'll have opportunities to meet and share God's love with teens. Pray for God moments. Pray that God would lead teens towards relationship with Jesus Christ.
