Guestbook
CAN YOU HELP ME MAKE A BETTER GUESTBOOK?
Most Guestbooks focus on the host. Although it is not forbidden to show me your appreciation, I would rather this page be about you. Part of the reason I blog is that I hope my posts can make a difference for someone out there. I also want this Guestbook to make a difference. But you are its author, not me. Please add a thought to what I’ve written. Or just tell your story, especially that faith promoting experience you’ve been longing to share.
Write you comments in the REPLY box. Thanks!

Hej Louis
Jag hittade hit via en av dina andra sidor, och jag vill bara säga TACK! Under den tiden som jag har suttit här nu har jag skrattat, fällt tårar och bara njutit av att läsa och titta på bilderna. Detta får mej att tänka på hur jag en dag för några veckor sedan tog fram en bland mina favorit skivor, för att kunna lyssna på en låt. Jag klistrar in min status rad från Facebook från den kvällen;
Therese Karlsson lyssnar på textraderna “jag vill ha någon nära som kan förstå, som tar mej ur min ensamma vrå, ha någon nära när det gör ont, som lindar om såren jag fått” det har blivit en av mina favoriter som verkligen gör att jag inte behöver sätta egna ord på hur jag känner mej i vissa stunder……Tack för den Richard, Per och Louis!!!
När jag känner att jag verkligen behöver “deppa” så sätter jag på denna låt för att få distans….Jag kommer troligtvis att komma tillbaka till denna sida för att få en tid för reflektion på mitt liv och meningen med livet.
Tack än en gång för att DU och dina bröder sjöng och dansade er in i mitt hjärta för 25 år sedan.
Mina varmaste kramar till dej och din alldeles underbara familj.
therése
Hey Louis !
Hoppas at alla i din familj mår bra.
Jag har læst om din sons hjærtsjykdom och blev mycket rørt nær jag læste den.
Jag ær
ensam mamma till 5 underbara barn, den minste ær 3 månader.
Jag har dårligt hjærta och ska møjligen opereras.
Jag ær så rædd, før jag er den enda mina barn har, hvad ska hænda med dom om jag inte øverlever.
Jag MÅSTE øverleva før deras skull.
Jag er stark om dagen før mina barn skull men på kvællarna ær jag rædd.
Kanske ska jag bara børja gå i kyrka igen, før at hæmta styrka.
Jag tror bara jag skulle ut med min rædsla.
Hælsningar från Shila
Hei igjen Louis.
Men det er bedre enn ikke no!
Sitter her og storkoser meg med websiden din. Utrolig mye inspirasjon her. Skulle ønske det var muligheter å ta instituttkurs her, men vi bor for langt unna (to timer hver vei) så det må gjøres på egenhånd
En gang jeg får tid , og om du vil, kan jeg fortelle deg om Ida, vårt fjerde barn, som vi kun fikk ha til låns i knappe 7 uker før hun reiste tilbake til sin himmelske Far, men hva hun har satt sine spor, denne utrolige lille skapningen! Går vel ennå ikke en dag som jeg ikke tenker på henne. Ikke bare påvirket hun våre liv, men også mange andres!
Takk igjen for en flott website!

TAKE CARE LOUIS HUGS FROM ME.
Jag blir väldigt rörd över hur den här tjejen påverkas utav dig och dina bröder. Hur hon stolt visar upp hennes senaste inköp som är en utav era skivor som hon lyckats få hem över tradera. Hur hon stolt påpekar att hon är ett stort fan till er. Ja, jag har länkat henne förut, men jag tycker att alla hennes inlägg om er är värda att läsas.
Jag menar kolla hennes design på bloggen, lyssna på bakgrundsmusiken.
Som jag skrev, jag blir rörd och det är en fröjd att följa hennes blogg.

Modigt och duktigt att ta dig an Humanisten. Mamma sa att du gjorde ett jättebra jobb. Vi andra blir inte förvånade. Good on ya! Hälsa Angelica!
Jag var inne på en tjejs blogg idag och hittade det här inlägget.
Jag tyckte det var gulligt och tyckte det var nått du borde läsa.

I must say, the site was good before but it´s even better now. (Except perhaps the dilemma if the text should be in swedish or english. Since so many of the visitors are english-speaking/reading) it´s by no means the wrong choise, but it feels strange to visit a swedish site and use the translation tool.
Det indlæg med at du er 42 år og senil!
Så er jeg det vist også!!
Jeg er selv 41år og har det på samme måde!
Glemmer ting, går tilbage og mærker om døren er låst, og meget mere, sådan er det nok bare, jeg har vænnet mig til det.
Troede også jeg var den eneste!!
Fat mod, der er nok flere som har det sådan!
Hej på dig

I min ungdom var jag ett stort fan av Herreys. Hade väggarna tapetserade med era nyllen. Och skivspelaren körde Sommarparty om o om igen. Hihi…. Det var tider.
Kul att ha hittat den här sidan. Måste säga att du skriver väldigt bra, och har grymma fotografier. Jag själv har börjat intressera mig för foto, dvs är under upplärning.

Hej Louis
jeg ville lige spørge om hvor gamle dine børn er.
der er nemlig en veninde af mig, som gerne ville vide det og jeg kan kun huske clara hendes fødelsdag.
har du nogen billeder af melina og mirelle?
knus fra henriette
Hejsan Louis! Läste din senaste blogg om fattig eller rik. Själv har jag också ett stort intresse och engagemang i människor.
Det är häpnadsväckande för det botar och läker mig, när jag får tjäna andra.
Men jag tror att man hela tiden måste söka efter sitt bästa jag.
Att försöka leva så sant och värdigt, rätt och rent som man förmår.
Två frågor som vi bör ställa oss;
Är jag den jag vill vara?
Har jag mod att ändra mig till det bättre?
Själv har jag valt familjevägen. En ofta bortglömd väg.
Men tror att det egentligen bara handlar om att komma “hem”.
För det är i hemmet vi formar vår inställning. Det är i hemmet som hoppet ges näring eller förstörs. Men vårt hem skall vara mer än en tillflyktsort.
Det skall vara en plats fylld av kärlek och förebilder.
Men det skall också vara en plats där det finns andlighet och närhet,
där världens problem kan ställes ute, där kärlek och frid ska råda.
Man får nog aldrig riktigt veta vilket inflytande man har över sina barn,
förrän barnen ser att man själv gör det, som man försöka lära barnet att göra.
Jag har försökt ge mina barn så mycket trygghet och kärlek som jag förmått. Vänliga hälsningar Elisabeth på Gotland
tja louis jag surfade runt lite och läste länstidningen och fick se dig wow tänkte jag min favorit:) jag har alltid tyckt om er jag köpte alltid era skivor när jag var liten jag sa alltid till min mor att ååååååå snälla mamma kan vi inte köpa herreys hahahahah jo det gjorde vi jag har kollat runt lite på din sida jag tycker om den skönt att du åxå räddar djuren m,m jag är åxå med i djurens värd och kämpar för att dom ska ha det bra:) sen undrar jag om ni fortfarande spelar ihop ni bröder??? och i så fall vad heter den nya skivan? har du sjöngt ensam på nån skiva? i så fall vad heter den? ha en underbar höst på dig louis och dina barn så hoppas jag att vi kan höras mera hälsningar jessica eriksson.
Wow!
Jag surfade runt lite och hamnade på den här sidan, helt galet. Hade ingen aning om att du hade en sida. Men keep up the good work i alla fall!
Ha det gott!

Hej Louis.
Tusind tak for en fantastisk hjemmeside. Det er skønt at følge din familie, og i særdeleshed går mine tanker meget til Johannes og hans hjerteproblemer. Dejligt at høre at alt går vel.
Fantastiske billeder du tager, jeg glæder mig meget til at følge siden i fremtiden.

I know this is a long shot, but I am trying to locate Eva Lil. I served as a missionary with her in 1978. We are having a 30 year mission reunion this summer and would love to contact her. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,

Dear Louis,
I came across your website trying to find a 2008-herrey-fan who would want to take over my collection of posters, newspaper clippings etc. of you and your brothers that I collected as a child. It had been stored for twenty years (wow, has it really been that long?!) in the attic of my mom’s house, and now it was time to let it go! I found someone who would like to have it on herrey.org, so that’s great.
Anyway, I have been reading some of your blogs, and was inclined to making this entry in your guestbook. – I don’t consider myself to be a religious person, and I usually have a tendency to shy away from people who practice religion and talk about God and using prayer in their life. This is probably partly because I was not brought up in a religious home, and therefore it seems foreign and a little odd to me, but also because history has shown, and continues to show, so much brutality expressed in the name of God, Allah or whichever name one cares to use…..
About ten years ago I did have a religious experience that I still keep with me – and it does fascinate me when people succeed in using spirituality or religion in a truly positive way. I get the impression that you are one of these people
In closing, I would like to make a comment as a reaction to reading your ‘ant story’ that I found somewhere on your website: What a sweet sweet man you have become!
Lots of love,
Gitte.
Jag måste säga, jag har hört många frågor… men aldrig den där.
Nej, sången har inget med det att göra alls. Den skrevs heller inte av oss utan av Torgny Söderberg och Britt Lindeborg, som inte är medlemmar i kyrkan.
Sedan kan det ju sägas att sången är så positiv i sig själv, och är fylld av symbolik, att den går att tillämpa på personers individuella liv på många olika sätt – och det är det många som har gjort.
Jag har dock aldrig hört någon tänka på sången i det sammanhang du frågar om.
Lycka till med fortsatt forskning!
Louis
Hej Louis,
Jag är intresserad av mycket, bland annat kyrkohistoria. Har läst en del om Nordamerika på 1800-talet och
Mormonerna. Finns det paralleller angående innehållet i texten till Diggi-Loo Diggi-Ley till Joseph Smiths uppenbarelser?Guldplåtarna,besök av Herren, änglar etc?
“Himmlen öppnade sig”..? “å jag ville gärna önska åt alla gyllene skor” (dop för andra?)
Seriöst,
Med vänlig hälsning/Jonas

Hi.
I found your Website by Yahoo!
And I wish you the best you can get,
the peace of God through Jesus Christ.
Welcome to visit my Site.
Why does the Revival tarry? It is because God’s
people tarry to obey the powerful command
of the Lord, in Rev. 18:4.
It is the most powerful revival message
of the Lord to his people in our time

Dear Louis!
My life has been a great journey. I had my shares of ups and downs. It has been mostly downs. However, I always had my faith in God. HE have been there for me all the way and it´s like it says in the poem “Footprints in the sand….When you saw only one pair of footprints it was when I carried you.” The might Lord has been there and answered me.
I have felt a bit lost the last few years and I didn´t know which church to go to. I missed the companionship, the music, the feeling of “Coming home”. However, when I talked to you today something happend to me. I can´t describe it and it was a bit scary at the same time.
I felt a warm feeling inside and it was like a wind going through my body. Suddenly I realized that I have finally come home and IT IS the mormons I should belong to. I felt such a happiness that I started to cry and praised God for everything he have done for me. Then I asked for forgiveness and blessings to keep the devil out of my life for good. I have everything I ever need right now because I finally found the true happiness which I have been searching for all my life.
I have to say: THANK YOU, LOUIS, FOR THE CONVERSATION WE HAD TODAY AND THANK YOU LORD FOR BRINGING ME HOME.
I have always psalm 23 in my heart.
With much love, gratitude and Gods blessings
Yours truly friend
Anna Omran
Dear Louis,
what can I say when all is sad and done? (I’ m referring to all the letters above.) Well, this much I can say, your e-mail today alerted me really, so did the comment on your blog. I´ve been so happy today just because of that. I do remember how much I enjoyed your first (?) performance, known to us Swedes, that is. It is unforgettable. So today I´ve been walking in spiritual golden shoes, so to say, thanks to you. You do have a wonderful gift. I cannot express my gratitude enough; all I can say is thank you.
DEAR LOUIS THANK YOU FOR HAVE A GUESTBOOK HERE ON THIS SIDE. I HAVE BEEN A HERREY FAN OF YOU AND YOUR BROTHERS SIDEN I VANDT MELODI GRAND PRIXET IN 1984 (SORRY IF SOME OF THE WORD ARE ON DANISH ) THANK YOU FORDI YOU WILL BEE MY FRIEND THAT MEANS SO MUSH FOR ME YOU AND YOUR BROTHERS AND FAMILY ARE IN MY PRAYERS AND THOUGHTS EVERY DAY. THANK YOU FOR BEE WHIT ME WHEN I AM SAD AND CRY . LOVE FROM YOUR FRIEND LENE MARIE HØGH DENMARK
Dear Louis,
I just love this site. Why? actually because we (my husband and I) have our own blogsites. So we also discovered that blogging can be very interesting, revealing and releaving,….
My husbands site is about politics, mine is about the candy we give in Belgium when a child is being Baptised. We call it “doopsuiker” (Baptismsugar). I have no idea if you know that in Sweden??? And we also have a site with everything about our wedding and our first born son.
We’re pretty busy too….:-)
So..OF COURSE I LOVE YOUR BLOG!!! The lay out is great, you share your feelings, concerns…pictures of your nice family (allthough, I’d like to see more pictures of the host himself…:-)) Just give the camera to your wife…I bet she knows how it works too…hahaha.
In your site you found a nice way of sharing stuff with the rest of the world…about your faith, about the healthproblems of Johannes…But…you also receive support from your readers…And that is also a GREAT feeling, don’t you think???
Anyway, keep up the good work and God will bless you for that, I’m sure about it!
Best regards!

Hi Louis!
) Married and with two children aged almost 4 years old, a boy, and a girl 8 months old.
Thanks for a great website, it is just wonderfull to see how you and your family are doing. I am an “old” fan of yours
I am happy to hear that your son is doing better, they are so brave those little ones. In bad times I think that it is mostly us, the parents, that worries.
Take care and lots of hugs and kisses to you and your family.
Keep up the good spirit.

Hello Louis and family.
I found this webside the other day and I LOVE IT!!
It is so lovely to read all the good thing that happenda in your family.
And even more good to hear that your boy is ok again.
I ´m a mother myself and I thinking of you all. I love my son and husband so much.
Back in 1984 and still( A BIT) I was Herrey fan!!
I still think of those days.
Take care and stay love
Love from Henriette
Querida familia Herrey
Son muchas cosas las que tenemos que deciros pero es un poco dificil para nosotros hacerlo en sueco o en ingles, disculpad que no sea asi pero de alguna manera queriamos dejar en este maravilloso sitio que habeis creado nuestros sinceros sentimientos.
Cuando llegamos a este hermoso pais tuvimos el gran privilegio de recibir vuestro calor y apoyo como familia, con el correr del tiempo y en nuestras observaciones desde lejos nos hemos dado perfecta cuenta de quienes sois vosotros… Vosotros sois como un bello amanecer en las vidas de las personas con las que os relacionais, Vosotros sois un alivio en el camino atribulado de la vida, Vosotros sois esa verdadera mano amiga que es tendida sin esperar nada a cambio, Vosotros sois la alegria que llena los corazones desesperanzados. Vosotros sois rayos de luz en las tinieblas, Vosotros sois esa dulce voz que sana,….Vosotros sois en verdad un testimonio vivo del Evangelio de Jesucristo, y es por ello que nos sentimos tan agradecidos de haberos conocido y de ser una pequeña y silenciosa parte de vuestras vidas.
Gracias por vuestro ejemplo
Vuestros amigos en silencio

Hej Louis, det är Therese Öhman! Din kusin Johnnys yngsta dotter. Jag har tänkt mycket på Johannes operation och jag hoppas att det är bra med han och att operationen gick som det skulle. Du får hälsa familjen så mycket ifrån mig, så hoppas jag att vi ses snart igen. Ha det bra, kram Therese.
Hej Louis.
Læste lige det du har skrevet den 20 marts om Johannes. Det rørte mit hjerte meget. Tænk alt det Johannes må igennem. Det er ikke til at fatte. Forstår godt hvis han syndes det er for meget og ikke retfærdigt. Men samtidig kan jeg se en dreng der er utrolig stærk og klarer det fint.Jeg ser en familie der vokser hver dag og bliver stærker. Du skal vide at jeg føler med jer og ber for jer hver eneste dag.I er i mine tanker og bøn.Tak for at du deler jeres liv med os og at vi for lov til at følge med i hvordan det går med Johannes og resten af familien. Din tro har insprieret mig meget og din side har hjulpet mig når jeg ikke selv altid har haft troen på gud. Jeg er en pige som altid har troedet på gud. Blev medlem af de Sidste dages Hellige i 1986 og har for tid til anden været væk fra kirken. Men din side inspriere mig til at holde fast i det jeg ved er sandt.
Mange kærlige hilsner

Louis,
I am Marie’s best friend here in California and will be in Sweden next week to help with the store opening. I wanted to let you know that we are praying for Johannes and your family. Marie has been calling me with specific prayer requests and I am spreading the word to my family and friends because I believe there is strength in numbers. May God bless your family and keep you safe in this time of trial. I look forward to meeting you all in a week’s time – especially your beautiful son.

Hi Louis!
Just came across your site and I truly enjoy reading it!
I’m sure you have already achieved your goal to be of
inspiration to other people, myself included.
I have been reflecting a bit on the title of your page “a good life” and the recent post “take control, be a captain”. The way I see it life is given to us as a wonderful gift and then there are so many choices to make
and sometimes so difficult to know what is the right decision. And yet the worst thing is not making any choices at all! Like you I have been blessed with 3 wonderful kids and I like to focus on the importance of not just spending time with them, but also being aware of what we actually teach them. And teaching them to be the captain of their own lives, to be a good person and to be a friend – it kind of says it all.
I enjoyed your family photos by the way, you have great kids (and your daughter looks a lot like you
Thanks also for drawing my attention to “Gabriel’s Oboe” this is truly a heavenly piece of music.
Take care Louis and keep up the good work!
Linda
Hej Louis!!!
fin websida tycker jag den är jätte, rolig att läsa,

sorglit.. tack på förhand, kram, Mia
Great site,
Hi!
I’m a Herrey’s Fan and I was so glad when i found your blog! I’ll read it through, I promise.
I don’t know if you remember it but we met in Hultsfred -99 when you did a consert at Metropol. I was there with my boyfriend, Anna Fröman from Göteborg with a videocamera makeing a documentary and a lady from Belgium called Nadja. We had a great time that I’ll never forget. Take care and hope to hear from you.
Love Linda
Louis
You asked who I would vote for if I was an american. I guess I would vote for a republican and I would vote for Mitt Romney because I think McCain is way too old to be the next president and I don’t know Huckabee very well. And as a member of the church I think it could be fun/good to have a LDS as president of the USA.
I was in SLC in 1988 and I thought it was fun to see all about the election, but of course it was better if I could vote.

Just want to say thanks that you manage to put my feelings into words. In one way I’m really sad because Pres. Hinckley passed away but I’m also very grateful for all the things he taught me through his life. I will miss the way he talked to us and especially his great sence of humour. I will always remember when I got the chance to see him in Copenhagen.
Thank you again and also thanks for a great site.
Marianne
My dear friend Louis.
I like visiting your site from time to time and get some reflections, which I get not only from your words, but mostly from your pictures. Pictures use a language of their own which one must learn to fully understand. Some of your pictures speak plain and simple words, while others go deeper. Alas, just as with symbolism, pictures work on different levals, extracted from the first visual imprint, to our own personal experiences and beliefs.
I see that you seek the good in all things. You are a man who seek love and beuaty. But on a more sceptical note, Jesus wasn’t all about laughing and being cheerful. He told us to mourn with those who mourn, to weap with those who weap, to suffer with those who suffer. How can we do that if we ignore suffering?…So I have reflected a bit on your Armstrong quotation: “I take nothing for granted. I now have only good days or great days.” And I wonder, are we honest with ourselves (and about the purpose of life), if we ignore the fact that we are put on this earth to be tested? I have a real probelm with this kind of thinking. True art is not just about sunsets (even though they’re lovely). It’s about life in all it’s facets, and you captured that so well in the photo when your sons is about to go into the operating room. You can feel the tension and see the care and love of your wife. I was truly moved by that; even if I’m amazed at your understanding of colour in many of your photo with the blue sky and the yellow tree (complimentary colours). Just dashing!!!
You have real talent. Thanks for sharing it with the world.
-From your friend in low places,
-David
Thanks Anna, I truly appreciate your words and your kindness! God bless you! Louis
Jan, I also thank you so kindly! Although I seemed to have fooled you
I am not an exceptionally well-organized person – at least I don’t see myself that way. I just live by one rule: taking one day at the time. This site is a result of doing a little here and a little there, for many months now. Also, whenever I do something here I mostly make use of the late hours of the day (since I am a night owl), like right now for example.
I hope you have enjoyed your trip. Best regards, Louis
Hi Louis,
Thanks very much for referring me to your web site. Though I did not realize it when you mentioned it to me in Gothenburg, I think I did briefly visit it once before when an acquaintance provided me with a link to it. The site is quite extensive, and full of information. I’ve already had a quick look around and like what I see. There are some spectacular photos, and I’ve enjoyed reading some of your blog entries. However, I do wonder how you find the time to maintain such a site – in between your family life, day-time job, performances, photographic hobby etc. All I can say is – you must be an exceptionally well-organized person!
Kind regards,
Jan Burnett-McKeown
I just want to thank you SO MUCH for starting this blog. I´m a christian but I don´t belong to LDS, having tried to understand more about it, though, but have missed the “deeper”, “inside” perspective that I have found here (not just if you drink coffee or not but how someone in LDS lives and feels about it). It saddened me to hear that christians are harsh against you, but I want to say that I also know many christians from different churches that have great love and respect for LDS, as sisters and brothers in Christ (…in faith).
GBY!
Hi Louis!
Thank you so much for this wonderful site. It is helping me a lot.
It is nice to find a place where you can find spiritual topics.
I have to make another comment.
To All you people out there viewing this page:
This guy will see you once & make yor dresma come true.
I’ve never ever been published on the web before………… WOW!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you.
What a shock when I first saw it. It’s like seeing my face in Liahona.
This picture was really well. I’ve learned that at first things look different from with your own eyes but it doesn’t mean that they are bad.
Great site Louis. I came in by watching the photo-pictures. The slide shows are simply amazing. Lot’s of interersting information.
You have a great family and your work is your life – I will do a lot of searching myself before I can make such good pictures
Information about our church is only waiting – that’s how it should be.
Finding my country Poland in the info about teh LDS educational system made me feel proud.
I honestly think that this site is made ‘for the people’ with a heart.
I hope yoy will come soon to Poland again.
Love & best regards to you and your family, Wojtek
