One Year Anniversary

As of today, we have officially been in Finland for a year. :)

Things are winding down: I took care of what I needed from school, school ended, summer started (hallelujah!), and we went to Youth Conference (Mom, Jonathan, and me), and now we're chilling.

Youth Conference was amazing! I'm so happy that I was able to go with my amigos here in Finland. :)

Some memorable moments: the disco the first night, painting my rock, the dance practice, the formal dance, sleeping on the floor...

Rocks! :) We were allowed to paint them however we wanted to, but were strongly "encouraged" to paint them as lions.... I thought it'd be cute, but my lion, didn't exactly turn out to be a lion after all... And there Pihla and I are showing our little creatures off. Focus on the rocks, not our faces... we weren't ready for the picture. ;)

Ah! It feels strange to think that we're leaving Finland, but I'm excited to go home! If only I could take my new buddies with me. :P

So, for the next two weeks, I will take in as much Jyväskylä to last me until we come back!
