Newbie, oldie and greenie :) Transfers part three.

 Hello there!

I have had a few days to adjust to the new situation where three of my children have left my city... (They left yesterday but I saw them the last time on Thursday last week.) It is still a little difficult to think  that they are gone. All three wrote in my friend book, really nice :) Elder Frantz left for Turku, Elder Stratford left for Oulu and sister Logan went to Mikkeli.We got back elder Carlson who was here last year too, sister Faddis and a greenie whom I have not yet met.

Sister Faddis is the newbie, Elder Carlson is the oldie and the greenie is umm, the greenie :) 

Yesterday we had game night at church. We played my game that I bought a while ago: LABYRINTH. It is so fun. I came second to last in every game lol. Elder Heaton is so smart, he won every game he was in. After game night we threw a tennis ball with the missionaries and it was good, because I have really bad physical condition... Missionaries make everything more fun! LOL. (Even excersize) HAHHAH! :D 

Tomorrow we have pancake night. 

Today the sun is shining and I am having a day of rest and relaxation :) I think I will read, clean my home and maybe organize my Barbie collection. I have collected Barbies since I was a little girl, I never stopped lol.

We had a horrible snow storm for a few days and I could not go anywhere because I have problems walking and I use a walker outside and get often stuck in the snow when trying to plow through the snow...

My mom and dad live in Jakobstad/Pietarsaari and they have a new missionary there too... I don't know who it is yet though. Their ward is bilingual (Swedish and Finnish) so the missionaries who are sent there are given a little extra language challenge because it is good to know Swedish there too...

They used to send missionaries from the Swedish mission to Jakobstad a long time ago. So one from the Finland mission and one from the Sweden mission. What an interesting time that was... I don't remember how long it was like that.

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!
