BEAUTIFUL MORNING IN THE TEMPLE

Yesterday was a crazy windy day.
But at the temple it is always so calm and peaceful.

When I go there it is like the time stops
no worries...
no places to rush to...
I can truly live in a moment and just enjoy...

Probably one of the most enjoyable service opportunities there is...
..at least to me.

Always a good place to visit.













I feel so blessed to have a temple so close.  
Only a 30 minute drive away.

Growing up in Finland
my parents would have to travel to Switzerland to serve in a temple.

..and that was the first temple I visited when I was 13 years old....

Later a temple was built to Sweden, which made it much closer...

...and now there is one in Helsinki, Finland.

I remember the day when it was announced that there would be a temple build in Finland.
I was so excited.
I started to cry the tears of joy.
...and then I called my parents
it was a middle of night in Finland.
I could not wait to tell them the news
...but they already knew :)
