| Marjaniemi is a seaside residential area in eastern Helsinki. |
Perhe!
Well, we have actually been pretty busy
in our area! And the weather has been super strange, but no complaints as long
as it stays above -27 degrees! :) The ice is dangerous, I completely slipped
and fell on my back this past week (luckily by the grace of God there was no
injury, just a super wet skirt haha) and all the Finns are breaking their arms
because the ice on the sidewalks is so bad. It is a common problem every year
apparently. But we are extra cautious.
Sister Jones officially graduated from
the "greenie program" this week which means I am no longer a trainer,
just a normal senior companion. Yay for Sister Jones! We become closer and
closer every week and I have learned so much about myself through her. We have
both learned how to be open and really just how to work together even though
our backgrounds and interests are totally different. What a learning
experience! I am grateful for her, we have so much fun together :) Just shows
that God really knows what help I need and what is going to help me grow.
This past week made me realize how much I
truly love the members here, we have become family! It is cool having been in
Vaasa for 6 months and now being here in Marjaniemi for 6 months, I love the
opportunity to get to know others and do this sacred work together :) I am also
learning more about the nature of Finns and how to really work with them. They
are such an interesting but amazing people! I am a little obsessed with them.
I love hearing how everyone at home is
doing such exciting things! Keep up the great work, i love you all!! :) till
next week! :)
