Family of missionaries :)

 Hello there (again)! It's me... :D

For a long time I have been single and unmarried all my life. No children. That is why I am so happy to have my ever-growing family of bonus children. Thank you so very much to my "first borns" who I adopted back in 2021. I thought that I am old enough to be their mum so why not? 

It is not always easy either. It is easy because missionaries are grown, I don't need to take care of them since infancy and I can enjoy being their mom for the while they are here and when they go home still if they want to.

One of my lovely daughters from the East Coast of the USA is really a wonderful daughter. She keeps in touch, she is soon going home. She visited me in the hospital with the other missionaries last year. I am so happy I could skip the hospital (or so it seems) this year and the reason is my current family :)

I have the most lovely children here at the moment. I get along with them all really well and they have helped me get out of my depression. They are my vitamins and anti depressants. I think I have never had so many children at the same time that I feel so connected to. Thank you.

They have given me a blessing, they have cheered me up when I needed it. They have invited me to church to activities. I really used to spend all day on the couch scrolling on my phone, many weeks I did not leave home, only for church. You do not see my depression because I smile a lot. You never know about the pains of someone just by looking at them so never judge a book by its cover.

We have had so much fun. We have eaten ice cream in my home, we have played Cluedo (the Swedish version lol) and I have soon finished a scarf that I am knitting for one of them. BTW: I do not take orders lol. hahhah. Well, I have been really blessed. I will never forget all the good times. 

I have also tried to help them with the missionary work. I have invited friends, I have become friends with their friends at church and I have tried to be a good example. I am too emotional sometimes so I cry sometimes and/or act goofy. I am not afraid to be myself with them. 

I love these children. 

We are not perfect but we are a nice family. :) 

More later! :)

Good times in the last few months

  Dear Reader, This past year the missionaries have been really nice and wonderful. A lot of them have gone home and I miss them. The sisters and me have been having a lot of fun, and the elders too of course. :) My dad passed away in November and elder Wood and Smith were in Jakobstad then. Now they are both home. Time flies and the mission always has to end :( But I am happy and hopeful they will come visit Finland again after a while. :) We have had a really wonderful time and I am so grateful for my friends. More later!

Jakobstad and the end

Good evening!  Last month I went to Jakobstad to visit my mom and family. I didn't need to teach anyone Swedish anymore, elder Petersson from Sweden is there now. My good old friend elder Schelin is spending his last transfer of his mission in Jakobstad. It is wonderful that he could go back there! He has been a good missionary and I am so proud to know him. I wish him all the best. That's all folks!

Fun days with the missionaries!

  Some pictures from the former transfer, and from this new one! Good morning from the Finland Helsinki Mission! (Tampere Zone, Tampere first and second wards) The last group of missionaries, before the recent transfer, was nice but I spent a lot of time in Jakobstad and the missionaries were here of course! :) My laptop is a little messed up, so I will continue later!
