Family of missionaries :)

 Hello there (again)! It's me... :D

For a long time I have been single and unmarried all my life. No children. That is why I am so happy to have my ever-growing family of bonus children. Thank you so very much to my "first borns" who I adopted back in 2021. I thought that I am old enough to be their mum so why not? 

It is not always easy either. It is easy because missionaries are grown, I don't need to take care of them since infancy and I can enjoy being their mom for the while they are here and when they go home still if they want to.

One of my lovely daughters from the East Coast of the USA is really a wonderful daughter. She keeps in touch, she is soon going home. She visited me in the hospital with the other missionaries last year. I am so happy I could skip the hospital (or so it seems) this year and the reason is my current family :)

I have the most lovely children here at the moment. I get along with them all really well and they have helped me get out of my depression. They are my vitamins and anti depressants. I think I have never had so many children at the same time that I feel so connected to. Thank you.

They have given me a blessing, they have cheered me up when I needed it. They have invited me to church to activities. I really used to spend all day on the couch scrolling on my phone, many weeks I did not leave home, only for church. You do not see my depression because I smile a lot. You never know about the pains of someone just by looking at them so never judge a book by its cover.

We have had so much fun. We have eaten ice cream in my home, we have played Cluedo (the Swedish version lol) and I have soon finished a scarf that I am knitting for one of them. BTW: I do not take orders lol. hahhah. Well, I have been really blessed. I will never forget all the good times. 

I have also tried to help them with the missionary work. I have invited friends, I have become friends with their friends at church and I have tried to be a good example. I am too emotional sometimes so I cry sometimes and/or act goofy. I am not afraid to be myself with them. 

I love these children. 

We are not perfect but we are a nice family. :) 

More later! :)

My trip to Finland's old capitol: TURKU and fun times with the missionaries...

  Good morning! :) How goes it? I am happy and I am going to the Temple today with my best friend from my ward... Anywhooo... I visited Turku/Åbo at the end of November. It was a blast. I spent four days in the old capitol of my country, which in my humble opinion should have been kept as the capitol... As a person from Tampere/Tammerfors I should maybe expected to NOT like Turku, but like my father - I do like Turku and have liked it for a long time. I stayed at my friends' place and they were so kind to me and I could "do my stuff" there in peace, like reading, writing and listening to music. I also loved attending the zoom -meetings that I had during my stay. My lovely friends are originally from Jyväskylä. We have known each other for years... Sorry, long intro... :D  I spent four fabulous days in Turku. On Thursday I arrived and didn't meet with the missionaries that day, I rested from my trip to Turku. I arrived in the morning. OK. Sorry for the long backstory. ...

Boss/Mom and her excellent children :)

 Good afternoon! This post is about two things: 1. How awesome missionaries are 2. How I am always on their side come what may SO. There has been a little break from last week's Tuesday until this week's Tuesday when I couldn't go to church or the activities at church. I had the flu... :( A little remnants still but almost okay now. I went to Game night this week on Tuesday. It was good. I spent a lot of time talking with one of the sisters and we played the piano for each other.. Then I also got a blessing because my anxiety has been acting up again. I must say, our elder Heaton is like a big brother, even to me! :) So wise and je ne sais quoi. Just a really good person. I am so grateful for all my bonus children.  I do not really remember if I told you in this blog that I am saving up money to go to Utah next year with my mom :) I have never been there. We have two relatives and their families living in Salt Lake City... I have like a billion children in Utah lol. Not a b...

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...
