We got to go the graveyard on Christmas! So cool!! It’s a tradition here that on Christmas Eve they light candles and leave it on the graves of their loved ones. It is so pretty and such a cool sacred thing. It’s so Finn, I love it. We had a good time :) 
On Christmas we went with
Elder and Sister Vest to a members house to eat. The members here really took
care of us, took us in and helped us feel at home. We ate with members on the
24th, 25th and 26th and it was so good! We ate traditional Finnish Christmas
food- carrot casserole, potatoes, ham, a special salad and the works. I really
love these members! They take such good care of us. And the Vests! I don’t know
what I’m going to do when they have to leave Oulu! They are so amazing. They
really are our grandparents out here. They always make sure we are taken care
of and fed and warm.
