Jet lagged, but still going strong...
Well it's official! I have finally set foot on Finish soil, so it is only fitting that I can start my "Suomi Chronicles!" For those of you that are wondering what "Suomi" means, it means 'Finland' in Finnish. I actually arrived yesterday at 9:30 p.m. (Finnish time) and after Shaun (the pastor of the church where I will be working) picked me up from the airport, escorted me to meet some of the youth from the church, and after getting situated for a good night's rest, I was a little too pooped to write my first post. Finland is eight hours ahead of Texas, so when it is 12:00 p.m. in Tejas, it is 8:00 p.m. here (Thought that you might want an example:). I was considering posting pictures of my excursion, but I assume most people have seen the inside of airports, so I decided to pass. On the upside, today was incredible! I was able to meet some locals, and even managed to squeeze a game of frisbee golf in my "day of jet lag!" So goodnight, and I look forward to writing more in the coming days!
