Saturday!! We have made it to Finland!!! We were so excited that the sky cleared enough that we could get this picture as we were landing at the airport in Espoo!!! President and Sister Luthy were there to greet us!! Oh what a welcomed sight!!
We arrived in our NEW HOME for the next 18 months at 7:00 p.m. (not having been to bed since Thursday night). The Luthy's gave us 20 minutes to freshen up and then over to their apartment where they had prepared a dinner for us!! It was a delicious homemade soup (by Sister Luthy, of course) ........ potatoe and salmon!!! I told her it was perfect because we LOVE salmon and it was delicious!! We visited with them until about 10:00 p.m. before we realized that we needed to get some unpacking done. Which is what dad is doing in the bottom picture! WE LOVE OUR NEW HOME!!! A WHOLE LOT more spacious than the MTC 'suite' that we had!! And Sister Luthy even had some food in the fridge for us. Bless her heart.
President Luthy already has assignments for dad and he said he would talk about more tomorrow afternoon when we have lunch with them in their apartment again!! And tomorrow is Stake Conference and President Luthy wants to make sure we get introduced to President Brown, the Helsinki Finland Mission President. So much in such a small amount of time!!
Our flight over was fairly uneventful, thank goodness! JUST LONG!!! And our butts hurt from so much sitting. Now, we are ready for a good night's sleep in our comfy looking bed here.
Remember that as of Monday, our cell phones will no longer be in operation as far as the 'phone' portion. We will be on skype and e-mail. We think we may end up with a cell phone over here but of course that will probably not work for you kids.
We love you. Thank you for all of your prayers!! They are felt and greatly appreciated!!
