Missionary friends in 2024

 Good morning from Finland! 

As usual, we have a new set of missionaries here in Tampere. They have been helping me a lot and we have had a lot of fun. We have an elder from Arizona, one from Chicago Illinois and of course Elder Flynn from Manchester, England. Yes, you read it correctly! Elder Flynn made it here! It is so nice. He used to serve in Jakobstad, where my parents and other relatives live. So when he left Jakobstad I told him I hope he comes to Tampere, and that he did. We are so happy that he is here. I appreciate the British accent. It is like chocolate for my ears. American English is more like a hamburger for my ears. lol. No, it's good. I did choose American English in school and at the University. It was a little easier for me because the missionaries spoke a lot of English with me. 

I use a wheelchair nowadays when I go outside and also at church. Elder Standage pushed me around at church yesterday, I will add a picture here. Then in the evening, my good old bonus son elder Heaton called!!! :D I am so happy. 

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!
