Missionaries in Jakobstad, my hometown :)

Good morning! :) I am so sorry I have been lazy and not blogging for a long while! I visited my hometown of Jakobstad and stayed there for all of July... It was really fun and the weather was... interesting :D lol

One of the fun things that I did was meet the elders in my town of birth (Jakobstad). I also visited a lot of relatives and we had a good time with a few of my cousins and their families. Of course my aunts and my uncle was there too.

We had really nice missionaries there too. Elder Flynn is from Manchester, England and elder Williams is from near Boise, Idaho. It was fun trying to speak British English. Lemme tell you, it requires another set of mind lol... :D

Now elder Flynn was transfered to Kouvola and elder STRATFORD(!) from Utah came instead. I have known elder Stratford since January when he came for the first time to Tampere. He went Tampere, Oulu, Tampere, Jakobstad :D He is my bonus son too. He promised to try to take good care of my family and relatives in Jakobstad. Now he will have the opportunity to learn Swedish, my native tongue. IT IS SO GREAT! I am so happy.

We got three new elders to Tampere and one new sister. More about that 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!
