Emili Goes to FINLAND: The Adventures of Sister Jones and Sister Bradbuny‏

Hey Everyone!

So this week was quite the adventure again! My new city, Kuopio is amazing! I love it!

So it started out with the Talo Mies (landlord) coming to change the names on the apartment door. He found out about my arrival since Sister Bradbury and Sister Christensen got locked out of the house the day before I came and he had to come rescue them. Anyway, we got to get our names put on the door :) When we went to check the Landlord's work, he had put "Jones / Bradbuny". We thought it was maybe a mistake (since my companion's name is Bradbury, not a furry animal).. But no. It was everywhere. Everywhere. Ha bless his heart. So now our door legitimately reads "Jones Bradbuny" I laugh every time we walk into the house.. It's swell :)

We also went and visited this less active member, and seriously it was great! She's not like the happiest person in the world generally, but when we walked in she just had the BIGGEST smile on her face! She was so excited to see us! It was such a sweet tender mercy from our Heavenly Father. She ended up giving us pot holders that she knitted and she had several with this really fun combination of colors. She was so excited and giddy when she was picking which ones to give to us. It was such a sweet little experience!

We also went and helped this woman clean her house and she wanted us to help with cleaning her massive rug. So her fiance had soaked it down and was scrubbing it. Our job was to pick it up and hang it to dry. Since it was soaked, it weighed a freaking ton.. When Sister Bradbury and I start rolling it up, we got super soaked and started squishing it and it was way funny. Trying to lift it back on the rack thing was a joke, we got even more soaked and it was seriously such an adventure. SOO much fun! ha

So yeah that's been this week! Its been wonderful and it so awesome to see the work moving forward! I love you all!

Love,

Sister Jones
