Greetings from Payson, UTAH

Dear readers,

What's up? My mood. I am feeling so much better than I ever did before this trip. At least a lot better than my average days in Finland... Here it's a bit warm, but the sun is shining, I have things to do, places to go. I have friends to meet and food to eat. lol

I am so happy to be here. I gotta admit, the people here are a lot more like me... Finnish people and Swedish speaking Finns are not lot like me. I didn't fit in in Finland, because I am too kind of lively and I talk and laugh more. I didn't fit in in Sweden, I was too fat and too Finnish. That is so ironic because in Finland I am considered to be too Swedish. Here no one notices me being from another country, I fit in. I am happy here. My health has significantly improved and I have a lot more energy. Guess my mood is dependent of the weather too...

Yesterday I met Heaton and Stratford and sis Cope,

They are of the original family unit in Finland.

Here are some pictures:

I am so grateful for their friendship. No wonder I get along with the missionaries back in Finland so well. One sister said that I reminded her of home. I am so happy that I could be that support person for her. Also, a few other elders told me that I am a lot like an American. Is it any wonder?!? :D I practically grew up with the missionaries... I have a lot of friends here. I have been building a big bonus family here for all my life basically. No wonder I want to move here!

I am so happy.

Thank you to all you old and young missionaries who helped me build this family. Love ya!

the Temple again :)

Good morning from Pleasant Grove, Utah, USA! Yesterday I visited my fourth Temple during my trip here in Utah. Now I have visited FOUR Temples here in Utah. Tomorrow I am going to the Orem, Utah Temple. Oh, the one I went to yesterday with my friend, is the Provo center Temple. It looks stunning in the evening... The lights around it and the beauty of the garden there, and of course the Temple it self. I really love going to the Temple. Now I understand why so many Temples are being announced all the time in Utah! Because people go there so often here! It is always booked full on any given day... I need to book my seat very early. It is amazing! My mom is calling me soon, better write quick! :D After the Temple me and my friend walked around the Temple grounds, almost ordered Domino's to a random ledge/edge we found to sit on, but were afraid we were "loitering"... So when the police car arrive, we were already on our way from the place we found. We went to the pizza pl...

Last weekend. Last Saturday. In Utah.

Good morning dear people! I had to delete that last post, I am sure I didn't quite think it through and I most certainly had almost all filters off hahhha. At least most of them and that is just plain stupid. I am sometimes tired when I write and then the TRUTH (?) comes out, or parts of it... My opinions are very strong most of the time and I don't need to alienate my readers further and/or make them think I am completely cuckoo. I am a little cuckoo, but honestly, there are far more people in the world who are cuckoo to the same degree, or maybe even more cuckoo than me... I just have a lot to say! Being bullied in school and at church and by people who have once called me their friend, that is not easy. In school I was a teeny tiny bit chubby, like maybe 5 kilos too heavy or something, so I was called fatso. EVERY DAY for 10 years I was bullied in school. Then my mini mission came and I couldn't sleep or rest for two weeks, maybe 4 hours a night. Try to survive THAT...

unrelated opinions and observations of my life and love.

Hello! SO. I have been having a wonderful time here in Utah, with and without some or most of my friends here. Some of them haven't made it here yet, because school starts for them soon. I am happy to have been spending time with my hosts, other friends and new acquaintances. I don't think I am that upset about all the other people ignoring my messages. That's how it goes sometimes. Someday I would love to be surprised by something nice that would happen, like friendship and relationship-wise. But it's ok. I am not in a hurry. About that. I am sorry to say but so many of my "friends" in Finland have bullied me and put me down for basically all my life. Some maybe out of jealousy, some people are just vicious, it seems... The phrase: "You will get a husband in Heaven" and it many iterations have been prevalent. I have been brainwashed to believe I am worthless. By my so-called "best friends". I mean, they are mostly all married and have a ...
