Springtime in Tampere aka the Manchester of Finland :)

 Hello there! 

So sorry for the long absence. We got a few new missionaries but it's soon yet again the end of transfers...

We have EIGHT missionaries here at the moment:

Elders Flynn and Nielsen (the ZLs)

Sisters Nielsen and Ethington

Elders Wood and Williams 

Sisters Bond and Cannon.

and me :D lol hahhah! No, just kidding. I am just a little bit of a bonus family member here, not a missionary... On Wednesday the 22nd of May it's my birthday and on Monday the 20th we're having a party at the church, on the third floor. I have only invited a few friends...

I think the 2nd ward sisters will plan a Quiz about yours truly, and I asked the 2nd ward elders to prepare a "coca-cola -drinking competition" :D lol. I thought it would be fun for guests (and me) try to guess the flavor and/or brand of coca-cola, pepsi etc. It is a new take on "drinking games" :D hahhhah! I am so funny lol.

We have had an awesome time here in the Manchester of Finland.

Elder Flynn is the "big brother" and I consider elder Wood the "little brother" :D Elder Wood is from Chicago and Elder Flynn from the REAL Manchester. (In England). I have concluded that British English is like "chocolate for the ears" and American English like "hamburgers for the ears" :D hahhah! 

Each Tuesday evening we have game night at the church and because of my pains the missionaries come pick me up in the wheelchair and bring me to the church and back. We often play "Hotel" with some of the missionaries. It is SO fun. I have won the two last times :D

Here are a few pictures of the family now:




















See ya! :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!
