Problem: I had n't really given my Midsummer this year a single thought until last weekend when I was over at Grandpa 's to weed flower benches and he said Mom and Dad had invited us both to Kuopio for it . Problem solved . The weather was quite surprisingly good ( some rain but it never lasted long , mostly quite sunny and even warm ) , we had a lovely Midsummer sauna ( I swam in the lake ! twice ! ! )

Why is the narrator so excited given the warm weather ?

A: They are going to spend time with their parents .

Problem: He was asked to share his testimony and this started a trend where we all shared our background and how we came to know Jesus personally . It was very encouraging to hear from so many and especially for me to hear from some Maltese about how God changed their life . One thing that intrigued me the most was that almost every Maltese said that what first interested them was the joy and peace they saw in the lives of believers they knew .

What has led the speaker to be so fascinated with how the Maltese came to know Jesus ?

A: They are a fellow christian , and hearing these stories is encouraging because it 's a shared love

Problem: Maggiano 's was a blast . We were in a private room that was round and brick and stone and wood and very cool . Everybody who said they were coming showed up .

What lead the speaker to have an enjoyable time at Maggiano 's ?

A:
It had a nice construction with quality materials , and they enjoyed their time there
