Jyväskylä

I had such a great time in Jyvaskyla with Ketola's! When I first arrived, I met up with Jarkko and we to his place. Roosa soon came home from work and Jaakko came over as well! We spent the evening talking and catching up!

The next day I woke and made some puuro for breakfast and listened to a few preachings. I didn't even know Jarkko was home, I had thought he went to work. Well, around 2pm, up come from Jarkko from bed! haha! We headed into town and I got a haircut, and we walked around the city center for a bit. Afterwards we went back to his place and BBQ'd some pork for supper! I then had to chance to try out some longboarding! Tons of fun once I got the hang of it! Later in the evening, we headed to a scremo concert (one of Jarkko's friends were in the band). After the rain calmed down, the outdoor concert started. The band was very skilled and played great. After the first song started, me and Jarkko looked at eachother and ran straight for the moshpit! It was my first time in a mosh pit! haha. Had lots of fun pushing my weight around! haha!

The next day we woke up and made some breakfast and headed out to play in a football (soccer) tournament! We were a bit a late, but we played in one scrimage match. We then went to a camp ground. We got to play in a different tournament there as well. We won both of the games and had a great time! They provided us with some supper, then we headed for the sauna! When we went swimming, we discovered a 5m diving platform! After a few dives and some other stunts, it was time to head into town. We caught the movie "Public Enemies". A great movie. The next day I woke up and tried to make some lettu's (Finn pancakes). It was my first attempt to make them on my own. After a bit of struggling, they actually started to turn out ok! Then it was time to head for the train station. As I write this, I slipping through the finnish backcountry on a train headed for Lahti! I'm excited to be spending the next week in Lahti learning about "Desitny by Design." Thats all for now!

God bless!
