Hello people!

Hi!

Good morning! It is 3 a.m. right now here in Finland. I woke up by mistake. Some say that if you wake up between 3 a.m. and 5 a.m. by mistake, you are having a spiritual awakening. I hope so, lol... I have been trying to become more spiritual for a looong time. I think everyone should try it. It makes you a better person, to not give up, to become the BEST YOU...

I have some awesome friends at Church who help me a lot, also to become more spiritual. They encourage me and give me advice... They pray for me and help me with many things. The missionaries are good examples. In fact, I would not have this blog without them! Or maybe it would be in Swedish or Finnish lol. But it just so happens, that when I was growing up, my missionary-friends helped me to learn good English.To speak and to write, idioms, spelling, the works! It was, it IS amazing! So, thank you, dear missionaries!

I try to read the Book of Mormon everyday, at least one chapter with my Dad, we listen to it from my computer and my Dad is on the phone, listening... It is great. Family scripture time. Then I try to study often the new program: "Come, follow me". I often forget to read and study the week's section, but now I just reminded myself by writing it here LOL...

I also try to study PMG. Preach my gospel. It is a nice book. Also, Young Women's challenges are something I try to study from time to time and just try to study the scriptures by myself... I am sometimes a little lazy. But I keep on trying.

More later!

Good morning! :)

Hi!

This morning I wrote an email to sister Eubank. Hope she will reply soon. I told her about my life so far and thanked her for the lovely talk at conference and told her my parents were so happy she remembered us.

I believe we have all had some struggles with our Faith, if we think we have not, well, maybe not just yet lol... I always thought that I will forever be 100% active and "perfect". LOL. First of all, when I was ill when I lived in Sweden, I couldn't really go to church for about four months, because of my illness and anxiety etc. But, I came back. 

Then there has been times that I have been traveling etc. Well, of course Faith is not measured in IF you can go to church, everything is fine and IF you are at home on Sundays, everything is really bad. Going to church helps. A lot. But it is not all. One can go to church and still struggle spiritually.

More later!

Hiya!

I'm back!

I know I say it a lot on my many different blogs... I'm always going away and then return weeks, months, YEARS later lol... SORRY! I have been a lazy person... I apologize from the Bottom of My Heart.

Yesterday we had a big, huge in fact, Women's conference here in Tampere, at the University. It was for all the ladies in the Church, and their friends, in Finland. There were actually 640 sisters there!!! WOOOW! That is just crazy! I felt very loved there, I have so many wonderful friends all over Finland.

We had one awesome guest: Sister Sharon Eubank, from the Relief Society first presidency. She served her mission in Finland. She even remembered me and my parents! That was so wonderful, I was completely starstruck! It was great!

I got a selfie with her!

We are so pretty! She is one of my biggest heroes!

The conference was so great! At the end there was a concert and the music was so beautiful, I cried thorugh most of it... It was wonderful. My idol from my youth: Mervi, the singer, was also there. I got a selfie with her too. (I'll post a picture maybe later.)

Mervi has the most beautiful voice! I have been a fan since the early 90's... She remembered me! We have met only once before, at a women's conference in 2017. I was also so starstruck with her lol She is also beautiful and so kind.

I'm so happy to be a member of this church. Since I was ~14, I have had a strong testimony about the Book of Mormon and since then, I have never really questioned/doubted it all... I have had my struggles but now I am back on track!

More later! Gotta go to church!
