We have just come back from a wonderful trip to Oulu. During our stay in Oulu, we attended our farewell ceremony at our church and also had the opportunity to spend time with friends. Once again, leaving Oulu was sad, but at the same time it was great to realise how many close friends we left behind us. I guess quite often it isn’t until at times of departure that we realise just how much our close ones mean to us. Despite the thousands of miles of distance between us, we are privileged to not only remember each other in our thoughts, but also in our prayers.
Here in Helsinki we are extremely busy with preparing for the departure. We spend our days running from one place to another trying to find the proper supplies for the upcoming year. From time to time we are able to relax in the company of good friends and family. Benjy has grown a ton and now has learned to roll over from back-to-tummy and sometimes tummy-to-back as well. Tomorrow, we will attend our farewell services at the Pentecostal Church of Espoo and Espoo International Christian Fellowship (EICF).
