Light the world! :)

 Good afternoon from Jakobstad! 

Happy Christmas time! :) I hope whoever reads this, will be happy and feel joy and keep on going no matter what is thrown at them. I believe you can do it! I believe everyone can endure through all the difficulties in their lives. In Finland we have this thing called SISU. Google it...

I am happy today. I have napped a lot and my parents are still napping. The missionaries in this ward are coming to visit us tonight and brining us the sacrament and my parents will meet the new elder here in this ward. He is from Washington state and he knows some of my best missionary friends. :) I love meeting new people who know my people lol.

Yesterday we had the Jakobstad's ward Christmas party. It was fun.

Today I was too tired to go to church.

My dad is really sick and we take care of him with my mom 24/7. 

My cats are doing well, they love visiting my parents, their grandparents... lol. They love snuggling with my mom and they love her when she gives them treats. My cats are 13 years old and doing pretty well. They are happy but a little tired, so they sleep most of the time.

I haven't done anything that existing or new recently. I went to the library with my aunt on Wednesday, I borrowed four books, all recommended by the librarian. They seem interesting and one I have read previously... But I borrowed it anyway, because I like it so much.

Soon I will go wake up my mom and ask her if she wants to get up :)

In the church, we are often asked to light the world during Christmas and I think like we should try to do it  continually. No matter the time of year or season. I am often quite happy and smiling, positive and grateful. We always try to be nice I think, I don't think anyone would choose to be cross and grumpy. Well, there might be exceptions. At least in literature: 

"A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens. 

I have read it maybe once or twice. I really liked it. If you are feeling like a "Scrooge" in your life, try to be a bit more cheerful. LOL. Easy for me to say... I think my mood is just usually most often happy and cheerful. I don't know why. Could be the anti depressants I have in my system hahhah! :D Good one, Cindy! LOL: No, but all jokes aside, I do have had depression and anxiety for most of my life. It has been a lot better lately. My medication is in good balance. I am happy about that. So, it's going well. I don't have any huge problems mentally right now. It is a blessing.

I have many good friends and they are really nice. 

Most of my friends live in these three locations:

Tammerfors

Jakohstad

Provo (Utah)

Those are my three important places. I could live in any one of them, basically...

Let's not get into the elections in the USA or any other political stuff, thank you! 

BYE! :)

My trip to the USA 2024.. The adventure starts!

 Good morning everybody! Greetings from Pleasant Grove, Utah. I arrived on Tuesday the 13th of August to the SLC international airport, a little before 1 pm (the flight was early...). I traveled together with the returning missionaries. It was so nice!  I was really tired but I haven't been so tired that I thought I would be. My medicine helps me get my sleep patterns stable and regular. I have been walking a lot and it hurts in the evenings when I have spent a long time walking around. But it's ok. I think I have lost a little more weight, it's so much easier to get around! What a big blessing. A few months I was still in a wheelchair when I went outside! WOW. It is a miracle! :) I took a little break in writing. Hope you don't mind hahhah!  This country is very interesting! :) stores and such have so different "infrastructure", I don't know if that's the right word... And a town or city is not separate or like far from each other. You just kinda swoo...

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...
