Transfers again...

 Good morning from the land of a thousand lakes! :)

(Actually it's a lot more than one thousand but let's not be particular) :D

How are you, dear reader? I am pretty okay. The missionaries got their transfer calls last week's Saturday and they pretty much immediately told me who is leaving and who is staying... Needless to say, it was not fun to let four of my bonus family members go to the next city, but that's part of the life of missionaries. Just a part of my life too lol. 

We had a really good time this past transfer. Our senior couple missionaries are returning to Finland today! YAYY!! I am so happy and grateful. I was asked by the couple to take care of the missionaries. I tried to do so as well as I can. I tried to cheer them on and I fed them a little ice cream :D Ice cream is important!

I am so happy because I make friends with all the missionaries :) Some people in my ward at church don't want to make that effort. Their loss, is what I can say. The friendships I have made are really special. The good news about this transfer is that my bonus son Elder Stratford came back to my city!!! YAY! :) It is really nice. Four left and one elder (Stratford) and one sister (Owens) arrived. I have not yet met sis Owens but we're friends on facebook :) It still feels so weird that missionaries can use facebook! :D It's an excellent tool for missionaries though :) They have found many investigators and new friends that way.

More later! I can upload some pictures in my next post! 

BYYYEEE! :D

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!
