Hmm... flue catching up.... but no, better keep on going, so the flue won't get me ;-) Joined morning prayer with the great fighters of the army of Jesus Christ in Karis (pronounced with short 'a' and short 'i', very important).

Here we come Helsinki, ready for Action? Lots of stuff to arrange... elders meeting in the evening. Dared to put my feet in a Lidl first time. Didn't feel THAT bad after all. "Milbo" ... funny name for a milk....

Should catch up at school. But no. Svartholmen is waiting. Winter is coming
and Svartholmen doesn't like winter. So Svartholmen has to be closed down. Fredi, Pertti and youth pastor spends the day fixing that.

Evening. Prayer for Action. We could barely stop. But after some good time of prayer we felt we could go on. Half a million things to arrange and discuss with people. Home later than soon.
