Good morning form Finland!
If you're wondering where I have been, I haven't been far. I went to the Temple in Espoo in April though. I met my friend elder Standage and his companion on my way down, they serve(d) in Hämeenlinna. We ate a pizza and had fun for a little while, then I took the train to my best friend in Espoo. I was so tired, I slept a lot at my friend's house. The next day I rested. Then on Saturday that week I went to the Temple. I met elder Wood by coincidence at the Temple housing. So it was a very fun trip, missionary-wise :D HAHA.
My favorite mission president ever is now the Temple president, I love to see him and his wife in the Temple. They are from Rovaniemi. Very far away in the North. That is probably one reason to why they are so nice. They also understand me and appreciate me a lot. No offense to any of the bigger city people... but there is a reason why people say that people from smaller towns are nicer. At least it's true for many people.
Elder Standage is soon going home. He is a good one. Really wish him well.
Transfers are always challenging, even for me. I stress about the new ones, will they like me, will they understand me? Sometimes they do not like me and vice versa. HAHA. I know, but it does happen. The not liking each other is partially because of not understanding each other, mental health issues (I am crazy and weird) and just personal chemistry.
We had a birthday party for my 45th last Saturday. It was SO fun. 20 people came there!
Eight of them were missionaries. :) thank you!
Lately I have been learning a lot. Sister Topham from California and her husband have helped me a lot.
By now I am used to transfers and the difficulty of saying bye to some missionaries. I am planning to go to Utah in October. I hope to have another reunion... :) everyone is invited! Even the ones who don't understand or appreciate me. I wish to treat everyone equally and the way I wish to be treated myself.
Sometimes that is difficult to achieve and grasp.
More later!
