Suomi, Finland - Sunday

Sunday morning I arrived in Helsinki. I almost cried when I arrived. Not because I only had 3,5 hours of sleep and not because it was raining like crazy. I just love Finland so much and I haven't been here for 3 years.

I bet you have always wondered how I look like at 5 am.

View from the airplane. It was beautiful.

Helsinki! Looks like snow, but it's rain.

A friend of our family, Kirsti Vorimo picked me up from the airport. I am also staying at their place. Yesterday she told me that she knows me since I was a little child. This will not be the only time I am going to hear that while I am in Helsinki.

One thing about Finland is that Fins are clean. You will recognize it here. In almost every public restroom (cabin - is that the right word?) they have a little shower thing to clean yourself. :)

Later at afternoon we went to see a broadcast of the General Conference in the ward building where I went when I was a little girl. It was great to be reminded and it felt more 'home' than any other chapel. I also met some people who 'knew me as a little kid' and told me so with the obligatory sign - 'you were this small'.

There I met my little cousin Marit - 18

Sara - 20

This is the view from my little room at my 'guestparents'. Isn't it beautiful? This is Finland.
