[Dear friends, here is our latest letter from Daniel. If you have a message for him, send it as a reply and I'll forward it to Daniel. Take care and be safe! Daniel's editor - BWS] Hej hej! I hope you're having a good last bit of summer and a good-looking school year ahead of you! Lund University's students are starting to get here for the start of the year. Exciting! I had gotten some nostalgic memories of starting school years in the past. It's a fun thing! Maybe you're wondering what the subject is all about. There actually wasn't any showdown, just a birthday party. We threw the party for the relief society president, Anne, who's a Physics post-doc at LU, and she brought 8 of her Physics phriends! Most of them were post-docs, and a phew were just PhD students. So there was a pretty high I.Q. there. It was really good to meet them all. We played a game like charades, and it was so phun! A few of her friends were quite interested in learning about the church and took Book of Mormons. It was great! Krisztina is doing better, the operation on her foot was successful. She is funny when on medication, so it's fun visiting her ;) We taught our friend Jens, who's a young dad, for the first time in the park on Wednesday. He loved hearing about the Plan of Salvation. He is going to meet us again with three friends this Friday. Really exciting! Later that night we had a talent show in the church! We played the minute-to-win-it game of holding a piece of uncooked spaghetti in you mouth and maneuvering cheerios onto it. I got 9 in a minute! We helped Brother Schanner and his mom move their business from Malmö to Lund on Thursday. It's a new dog-care business, and I thought of the name of it! It is "Hund stund" which means "Dog Time." We're gonna help Mrs. Schanner there some more next week. On Saturday we went to the other side of the peninsula, a 6-hour venture, with the bishop's son, Jeremiah. That was fun. Then we went to Patrik with Äldste and Syster Davis. Patrik's kids like to play soccer with us. They call us "Presidenterna," the presidents, cause of the way we dress :) They are young guys, 3-8, and lots of fun. The days are getting shorter and shorter (the sun sets now before we go to bed), and I am reminded that winter and 3-hours-of-sun days are coming. I don't know why it's sad to see less sun, because we've had so much of it for a while, but it's sad nonetheless. Despite it being sad I saw a star for the first time in 4 months this week! It was neat. Always something to be thankful for ;) Pictures are of a couple of nice churches, me and the hospital, and a line to a parking meter. The first line to a parking meter I've ever seen. Have a good week! Love,
