As most everyone knows the weather is extremely cold in Finland at times. As long as you are well prepared - as in you have enough clothes, you have your little heat packs and you have some food then you should be ok to last a few hours without dying.
Here are a couple of pictures from one of our days in Finland. As you can see from the pictures it was no doubt FREEZING!! My companion, however, tried to stay as warm as possible having only parts of her body outside of her clothing that was really neccessary - in other words her eyes!
Here is Sister Kieffer - trying to keep warm! as you can see it's snowing and there is absolutly no sign of civilisation outside, except for us - as yourself this... would you be outside in this weather or would you be inside in the sauna....?? yeah, just what I thought!!
A close up... but, below, a little closer... this is what happens when your eye lashes freeze and then you get onto a warm bus and your eye lashes UNFREEZE - you really should wear waterproof mascara whenever possible!!
Umm..yes, so this is Sister Welling - i guess you could say that she had a hard day at the office... or outside.. she said she has never known Finland to be so cold except for when she was a missionary - i think the problem was that as a normal person you don't have to be outside for so long - you can avoid the weather outside by staying inside if you want to!! But as a missionary - you have to be outside doing the Lords work - no matter what!!!
You'll be right wells!!
Sister Kieffer and I - braving the snow!! I miss that jacket I have on.. it was really cool (well it was warm, but it was just a really awesome jacket!! - but SO huge!!)
