I’m Minna from Sweden

From an interview by Amie Jane Leavitt

The author lives in Utah, USA.

Hallå, Vänner!*

How would you like to live in a schoolhouse? Minna and her family live in the countryside of southern Sweden. Their home used to be a schoolhouse many years ago. She says the best part is that the house has a room big enough for lots of people. In December, Minna’s family invites neighbors, friends, and family over for a special “sing-in.” About 80 people come to sing Christmas carols together. Then they enjoy treats before everyone goes back out into the cold Scandinavian winter weather.

I Love to See the Temple

The Stockholm Sweden Temple is near my grandparents’ home. This temple has a special place in my heart. One time my dad and I walked around the grounds. We talked about the temple and how I would get to go inside one day.

Ready to Go!

Minna’s bag is packed with some of her favorite things. Which of these things would you pack in your bag?
