First day

So we woke up this morning very early. The time change is rough. But we are adjusted already. We had our first Swedish Meatballs at breakfast. They were right there next to the bacon, sausage, and eggs. Overall breakfast out here seems a lot like what our lunch is back home - sandwich stuff. We noticed that we could see the Scandinavium from our hotel. That's the building we will be in for our convention. And that's the first picture we posted. We went out in service our first day here. It was nothing like normal service. It was refreshing. We were inviting everyone to the convention. But we were walking the streets of Gothenberg handing them out to anyone we made agreeable eye contact with, which were our instructions. That didn't happen too often, but we had some good contact. We even walked through a mall and witnessed there. Our Swedish guides were named Yessica and Kenth. They were a lot of fun and taught us a lot. With us was a couple from Queens NY, a brother and sister (fleshly) from Santa Maria, and a brother from Burbank. It was encouraging for all of us to have so many out in the field. We were an army marching in groups of 7 or 8 all over the city. We felt powerful as if we outnumbered everyone else. It was awesome. Tomorrow should be a city tour. Looking forward to the background of Sweden related to our organization. Interesting facts: We found out Brother Pierce from the Governing Body will be giving our special talks. Also, the Swedish don't seem to believe in ice. :?
