On my second day in rovaniemi , i was feeling a little under the weather , few too many hours spent in Mc Cuils , anyway the weather was absoulty great , so i headed down to the main square to see what was going on. Suprisingly there was a couple of hundred people sitting out and singing and dancing. Normal enough except they all were about three feet tall. Luckily it was'nt a result of the hangover , they were all children. Then it got a little strange, one group almost all had blond hair and the other group all had black hair. It was becoming a bit surreal. Anyway there is this guy beside me with a backpack ( Australian guy. By the way, they are everywhere, reckon if i look under my bed now i'd find one!) and he says it an evangelist thing going on with Finnish and Japanese children. Anyway there is this guy who is presiding over it all , sounds american , wait he's wearing dodgy shorts , so he could well be. Soon enough the singing and all ends and he stands up and thanks god ect. Then in deference to jesus i suppose he starts on a parable. ' When i was going to estonia i got a boat from stockholm and i met a girl , and god was she cute , about 17 years old with black hair and lucious smooth skin. I asked her if she was swedish and she replied that she was estonian. She asked me about myself and what america was like'
ERRR THIS SOUNDS LIKE A FUNNY SORT OF PARABLE YOU'RE TELLING HERE MATE!!!
' I told her where i lived and showed her a photo of my house and my wife. She was very interested in me and I have to admit i was flattered, She was one of the most beautiful girls i had ever seen and i admit i felt lustful.'
SLOW DOWN HERE BUD, YOU WORK WITH CHILDREN??????
When i had finsihed in estonia I got the same boat back and the same girl came up to me on the boat, this time here hair was blond and she asked me if I liked it. I replied that i did, I really did. She asked me what it would take for me to bring her to America'
OK at this point i got to start asking myself what the hell this guy was on about, like interesting enough but not really new testament material. And like this guy is taking care of kids!! Anyway at this point i felt a tad too hungry to listen and the story was getting a little tedious , most of the people there could'nt understand what he was talking about ( Reckon he was lucky , would have been lynched if they did).
