Stake conference and a lot of missionaries

 Good morning from Finland! :)

Hope you are all doing well. I am doing really well. 

Last weekend we had our stake conference, and this time it was .in Turku. the old capitol of our country. I like Turku a lot.. The people are nice, the ocean is close by (makes me feel at home, because I lived in Stockholm 12 years). I used to pass through Tukru A LOT when I lived in Stockholm...

I got a ride there with my friends. That was really nice.

On Saturday we arrived and we had the evening meeting at the church. I only said a quick word to the missionaries and left early because I was hungry and tired. I spent the night at my friend Virika. It was really nice. We watched "Isn't it romantic?" -a romantic comedy on Netflix, we also ate pizza.

Sorry, this blog has turned more into a "normal blog" with a dash of missionaries! I am sorry!

So. On Sunday I went a little earlier to the theater where we had our Sunday meeting. I sat before the meeting in the back corner and most of the people arriving came through that door, especially all the missionaries! :D It was so fun to high five or shake some hands when they passed by. The person sitting next to me exclaimed: "Wow! You know a lot of missionaries..." I answered: "I think they know me." Well, of course it goes both ways... HAH! Yeah, I know, I am SO funny.

I went tio sit next to my current missionary family (those serving in Tampere) in the first row and met Elder Watson! I hadn't seen him since November last year. It was good to see him. I gave him a going home -present on Saturday, told him to open it on the plane lol. Something he might like. 

He is soon going home.

After the meeting I stayed a while to chat with the missionaries and then left with my friends a while after that. I took a picture of elder Standage, he looked so happy, And of course of me and elder Watson. One more for the road hahhah! :D

Anywho, it was a very successful weekend and I learned a lot of new things that were taught at the meetings. I like traveling too. Me and my friends stopped at a restaurant/shop on the way back in a place named Aura. Which reminds me that I love blue cheese! A Finnish kind of blue cheese is named Aura cheese :D

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!
