It's past 12 pm and I'm sitting in Maria Evermin's kitchen realizing that I will miss 4th of July this year!!! Peter and I moved to the States in September 2005 and have celebrated this very special holiday every year since then... I know that's not a whole lot of years, but anyway. First time we were in Yorktown Virginia and it was an awesome awesome celebration, we were at a former battlefield, there was a band playing and the fireworks went on for ever! There is something special about this patriotism that every US citizen seems to have... I must admit; I love it! And I will miss not celebrating 4th of July this year. Peter and I will just have to get some fireworks of our own here in Stockholm and celebrate anyway :)!
Ps. One thing that was special this year though, was that we were actually in Sweden for our own National holiday, June 6th! God is good!

About The Almqvists
Hi, my name is Peter Almqvist and I am a minister of help. I work with setting up large outdoor evangelistic festivals all around the world, primarily in Africa. Currently we are on what we are calling the African Capital City Tour, or ACCT for short. We preach the gospel to those that have not heard or have yet to respond. The cry of the lost has been heard and we are responding to their SOS.
I'll have to get a box of sparklers so we can celebrate your "homecoming" soon! :) Love you guys!
