Turku, Finland

June 7: Finland
On the 7th we landed in Turku, Finland. We got directions to the hostel and began walking towards town. We met a nice lady near the castle who gave us some good directions to town and a warm welcome. We saw her 3 more times on our walk into town. Everytime we turned around there she was with some more helpful tips and advice. It was funny. We eventually found the hostel and checked in and took a nice 3 hour nap. We found one guy in the room who was a little different but was very intrested in us. He was here for a college entrance exam. We witnessed to him and he got saved. We then got up and toured the city. One church was very old and had lots of dead people buried in the floors along with kings and queens of days gone bye. We had lunch in the park met some nice girls that helped us with our Fin language skills. They don’t really know where the language originated from, possibly Hungarian, its not like any other language in the area. On the way back we encountered some drunk guys and got to witness to them. They both prayed with us to receive the Lord. That night we had a good conversation and witnessed to some other travelers in the hostel. One guy, Andrew, has been all over the world traveling. He was from Canada.
June 8:
Today we had a good breadfast and spent some time in the word. A good conversation started with one of our roommates, Adam. He’s spent a year in France teaching English and working on his French skills. He drew on us all morning and we shared so much with him. He really liked us and said we were like a breath of fresh air, refreshing. We had lunch together and said goodbye to walk the city. We toured the city again and sent out some emails from the library. Once back at the hostel I met another girl here for a week of art exams. Her name was Anna. Tomorrow well probably take a trip to Helsinki. Later that night we went out to find some food. We found a Hesburger stand selling late night burgers. Even though it was 11pm it was still light out, very strange. We then went down to the canal to a kiosk and got some coffee and a chocolate bar. Back at the hostel we met Felix and Christiana from Germany and had a great conversation.
