May in Tammerfors

 Happy springtime from Tampere! :)

We are a happy bonus family unit here and transfers are a-looming... 

It has been my "birthday week" this week. We started off well, with my birthday party on Monday, two days early. The missionaries made the party. I planned and told a few ideas what we could do, and the missionaries made my party so nice and perfect! Elder Flynn was the "narrator" and of course he did an amazing job with his British accent. It was great. We had a quiz about me, then we also had a "guess that Disney-song" competition, which elder Williams crushed completely! We also had a paper plane competition. The sisters made chocolate cupcakes with a Barbie twist, a Barbie was in the display elements of the cupcakes. She was named "Cassandra" :D ... We also ate a little melon and other snacks. We had the big package opening event, which I didn't know would be an event, but it was a surprise from the elders. Bless their hearts! I got so many lovely and also practical gifts. Many were pink/baby pink and/or pastel colored... They know me so well! :D


On Tuesday we had game night as usual, here are a few pictures from that, down below.

Tomorrow I am going to Jakobstad and there I will hopefully meet the sisters. They don't have elders there anymore, they have sisters now. That's so cool! Somehow they knew about my birthday... Maybe my mom told them lol.


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

Transfers: Update

 Dear all,¨ I hope you are all doing well. I am really happy but I am so sorry I haven't updated this blog in a long time... There has been some changes. I mean transfers :D lol. I have spent a lot of time in my hometown Jakobstad. I have been so blessed and happy that my bonus son elder Stratford has served there for the past month. It is his final transfer :( I know. It is sad...  I have been so blessed and grateful to get to know elder Stratford. He has been a good example and a very nice friend and bonus son. He is a good example to everyone. He is very social and friendly. It is very hard to feel alone or unnoticed in his company. He makes people feel seen and appreciated. At least he has taken good care of me and been a great support and friend.  I hope we can meet in Utah next year, I am still planning on going there next summer.  We have got new missionaries to Tampere! :) Three new elders and one new sister! :) I am just getting to know them but at least they seem friendly
