Winter wonderland!

Does anyone want to wait for the bus?

Sister Cain and I are having a blast together! Being a missionary is about the funnest thing you can do we decided. And having a companion is such a huge blessing! I love her so much and am so happy we still have a long time together. Every day is an adventure! For example, yesterday we were riding around in the snowi finding formers before we had a lesson. We had put some more air in our tires before we left cause the cold air makes them go flat pretty fast. Anyways, we were riding to the lesson after about two hours of finding and my bike starts making a funny noise. So we stopped and looked at my bike, but I had no idea what it was. So we start again and then all of a sudden a big POP happens, (it literally sounded like a gun!) and my back tire blew out! It blew hard core! It tore the tire completely apart! So we have been without bikes for a day and don’t have them today either. The stores are closed today (Finnish Independence Day) so I have to wait to get a new tire, and then get the Elders to fix it. We had to walk our bikes to the lesson and then all the way home. Gotta love it!

Snowy eyelashes after walking in a blizzard

It has been cold here.  We had to walk through a blizzard to an appointment the other day cause the wind was too strong to ride bikes. But it is so fun! We laugh about it all the time and we truly live in a winter wonderland. We haven’t had any accidents yet, but we shall see! And I am so grateful for the bikes! What great tools they are. I will for sure be up for riding one when I get home from my mission.  I have had a big ironic change of heart from when I was at home and I didn’t like riding bikes. J  I’m in the only area that sisters ride bikes and I’m here during the winter! Heavenly Father truly has a good sense of humor ;)
