Newbie, oldie and greenie :) Transfers part three.

 Hello there!

I have had a few days to adjust to the new situation where three of my children have left my city... (They left yesterday but I saw them the last time on Thursday last week.) It is still a little difficult to think  that they are gone. All three wrote in my friend book, really nice :) Elder Frantz left for Turku, Elder Stratford left for Oulu and sister Logan went to Mikkeli.We got back elder Carlson who was here last year too, sister Faddis and a greenie whom I have not yet met.

Sister Faddis is the newbie, Elder Carlson is the oldie and the greenie is umm, the greenie :) 

Yesterday we had game night at church. We played my game that I bought a while ago: LABYRINTH. It is so fun. I came second to last in every game lol. Elder Heaton is so smart, he won every game he was in. After game night we threw a tennis ball with the missionaries and it was good, because I have really bad physical condition... Missionaries make everything more fun! LOL. (Even excersize) HAHHAH! :D 

Tomorrow we have pancake night. 

Today the sun is shining and I am having a day of rest and relaxation :) I think I will read, clean my home and maybe organize my Barbie collection. I have collected Barbies since I was a little girl, I never stopped lol.

We had a horrible snow storm for a few days and I could not go anywhere because I have problems walking and I use a walker outside and get often stuck in the snow when trying to plow through the snow...

My mom and dad live in Jakobstad/Pietarsaari and they have a new missionary there too... I don't know who it is yet though. Their ward is bilingual (Swedish and Finnish) so the missionaries who are sent there are given a little extra language challenge because it is good to know Swedish there too...

They used to send missionaries from the Swedish mission to Jakobstad a long time ago. So one from the Finland mission and one from the Sweden mission. What an interesting time that was... I don't remember how long it was like that.

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...
