BLESSED WITH A BIG FAMILY

In our place, Bragdebo Gård Östervåla, in the middle of Sweden, spring is coming but very late this year. Still we have a lot of snow in our garden, but we see and hear some migratory birds. Yesterday we saw a couple of bullfinches. On the fields we now see waders and starlings. We are waiting on the spring flowers. Because the winter has been long and the temperature has been low, we have had som problems with the heating indoors. We have used pellets from the Swedish forests, but this winter we have installed an air-heating pump.
       As you see in the photos above we have four children and eleven grandchildren. In January Victor was born, son of Andreas & Anette, and he is growing well. His oldest sister Emily received her driving license a month ago. In March we visited the home of Marcus & Linda, their son Gabriel was one year of age. So we are blessed with a big family!
       Our church, Centrumkyrkan Heby, bought another church building a couple of years ago, and we are renovating it. March 5 we will open the worship hall and inaugurate it. There are much work, but many members of our church are making a lot. We have also built a baptist
 pool, and 5th May we will baptize several people. Our church is a charismatic baptist church.
