Week 91 in Mikkeli (Cafe Rio, visits to old cities, and R.I.P. my pants)

You didn't think that Cafe Rio existed in Finland, did you?

No, it doesn't.

But, for that reason, we MADE SOME. Yes indeed, folks, the missionaries are about to start Mikkeli's(and all of Finland's) first Mexican food restaurant!

I mean not really, we just made some super good burritos:

Well, the recipe was from Cafe Rio, and I had some pretty good flashbacks to the ol' Utah days. We also made enough to last for nearly a whole week, so the flat smelled like a mexican restaurant for days. Which I'm fine with!

Otherwise:

We got to do exchanges in Savonlinna! I was able to see some old friends, teach some people, and see an old castle. It was pretty awesome, if I do say so myself.

We got transfer calls... and Elder Jordan and I will be staying together! No big changes here, just tons of awesome work here in Mikkeli. We're excited.

Speaking of, we've made some pretty ambitious goals for this transfer. We've decided that shopping takes too much time out of p-day, so we're making a goal to only go shopping every other week. We bought, this morning, enough food for two weeks!

Survival skills to the max.

We also had our last district council on Saturday. Love these goobers.

In other news, all of my clothes have begun to fall apart. I think that they sense how close I am to finishing my mission, and they just decide that they can give up for the last few months. Thus:

Also, a funny for the week:

Sometimes, your overcharged truck engine isn't loud enough to let the neighbors know that you have said overcharged engine, so you need to write the specs on the back so that people will be impressed... even though your truck can only drive at 80 kilometres per hour(that's not even 60mph, folks). Neat. 

Well, that's all I have this week! I love this work still, and it seems to be going even faster, now that spring is here, and we're working ourselves to death(well, not literally)!

I love the Lord, and love doing His work!
