Preparation Day - P-day :)

 Hello! 

I am back. Oopsie! :D

So. A little thing I experienced only twice on my mission, P-day. I do not really remember a lot except we went to the city center in Jyväskylä: to the library to write emails and to a café to eat a little. It is sooo weird what our brains choose to remember lol.

My companion from Idaho celebrated her birthday while I was there and we ate cake at church with the elders. I do not remember a lot else... I remember I did not get along with one of the elders, he was a little different in a way I did not understand. It was difficult.

There I am. :) My father Pekka said it would be good to take a "mission picture" :D He was the first Finnish missionary sent abroad by the way. I am so proud of my Dad. My mom served a summer mission near her home town of Jakobstad/Pietarsaari I think when she was the same age as me when I went on my mini mission (17).

So, my missionary work is in my family a very important part. We have always invited them to visit a lot since I was little and my dad served in London and Florida so he likes speaking English. He is also a journalist and a radio program person :) He writes and talks a lot, just like me lol. I love my parents. I was adopted to my family at the age of 3 months. 

Maybe that is one of the reasons I love adopting missionaries. I know that everyone needs a family, also during their mission when they are really far away from home. I hope I can help the missionaries feel like they can come to visit and feel like my home is theirs :)

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!
