Good morning from Finland! :)

 Good morning!

I have been SO busy lately, I also had writer's block so I am so sorry I had a little break...

Last week was a blast lol. I met the missionaries on Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. We had a lot of fun and the really good thing about hanging out with the missionaries (for me) is that I do not have the time or the energy to feel depressed. Plus the missionaries are always in a good mood and good moods are catchy :D 

On Tuesday we had game night. They had zone conference so I met a few of my children who served here earlier. We took a few pictures of course hahhah. We played board games. I played Cluedo (Clue) with a few missionaries and I actually won once lol. I tend to loose a lot...

On Thursday we had pancake night. One of our elders made pancakes and put green color in the dough (it was st. Patrick's day on Friday). We played a little too, I just can't remember which game lol. Maybe we didn't play... My memory fails me. 

On Friday morning at 11.00 am the missionaries visited me one last time before transfers, when few of our missionaries will be moved to other cities. We do not know who is leaving or where they are going (yet). We played a game: The star of Africa. It is a Finnish game. Of course the elder who always wins won this time too hahhah. We also drank a lot of pepsi max and talked a long time. I will miss my children, this one-parent family will soon be split into a few parts, that is very sad. But that is life. No one can stay forever. One of my friends asked once: "Why do you spend so much time with the missionaries? They always leave..." I was like: "You don't really get it, do you?" :D She is an older sister so she doesn't understand. I am "old" too but not too old to find new friends and keep active.

On Saturday we had our "Cultural night" at church. We played games, ate food from many different countries and some of us danced. I can not dance because of my bad back and I got major FOMO watching all the people dance :'( 

On Sunday of course was church.I was REALLY tired lol.

Today (Tuesday) we have game night again and I will bring my brand new game I bought yesterday: "Labyrinth" :) . I will maybe bring my other game too: "Africa's star". Let us see how many I want to take with me...

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!
