SwedishLDS Posted March 15, 2022 Posted March 15, 2022 Hi, I am not sure if I am doing this correctly, but I will do my best. My name is SwedishLDS and I am a member from Sweden. Mid-20s, and grew up in the church. I try my best to follow the church teachings and have been looking for a good church member forum that I can socialise and discuss with people on. This is the best one I found with a lot of activity on it. Happy to answer any questions 1

longview Posted March 15, 2022 Posted March 15, 2022 My paternal line came out of Norway. Was there a war between Norway and Sweden? How do you feel about that? Welcome to the board.

Was there a war between Norway and Sweden? How do you feel about that? Welcome to the board. The last war Sweden had was in 1814 when Norway passed from being under the Danish crown to being under Swedish crown which lasted until they were peacefully granted independence. Norweigans are the people I feel the most positively and closest to in the world, language wise and culture wise they are really close, and they are the only group of people with in the world where I can talk Swedish and they understand me (next in line is Denmark but the comprehension is slightly worse). Always a joy to meet the norwegians, I meet them at the people sometimes when I go to stockholm

My first area was Trollhättan so I visited Göteborg a couple of times for zone conferences. It seemed like it was raining every time I was there 🙂

Derl Sanderson Posted March 16, 2022 Posted March 16, 2022 Glad you're here. As you have probably already seen, we try to stay away from disgusting topics like politics and surstromming. 😁
