Lahti is great today. The sun is shining. And there's snow on the ground. And it's below 0 degrees. So I can't complain. All the Finns are also really excited that winter has arrived (even if it's over a month late).
The work is going well. Sister Dayton and I have lots of fun all the time! We're finding lots, teaching lots and are not overly stressed. It's the best of all the worlds.
We had a zone meeting in Tampere this last week. I was dreading to go down to it. First off, we had to get on a train at 5:44 am to get there in time. Second, it was to discuss a 'mission fast' to kick off the new year. I wasn't overly enthusiastic as my last mission wide fast ended in my companion getting sent home due to nerve damage, and my area being closed. But, we wen tto Tampere anyway and it was actually really good. We're focusing on each district in the mission, one disric per week for 12 weeks and it's going to be great! I'm ready to get going.
We're also planning to have a lu'au in Lahti as a ward activity. One of the elders serving here actually worked at the polynesian cultural centre and so he's heading it off. We're really excited and we hope it will help us find a lot of young people and get them involved. The youth program here is fairly small, and we have no young men. It's going to take place the week AFTER transfers... so we hope we're all still here for it but, we'll see.
I don't have anymore time this week! Sorry it's short! Love you all!
Sister Kastendieck
