Last Tuesday, February 27, 2012, it snowed in Espoo ALL day. ALL DAY! A beautiful, peaceful, morning till night snow. The next morning I was looking out our window. There was a child, 9 -11 age group, walking on the 'path' that had been there the day before. It's a path on the side of our building. He was really struggling.....one foot in....sinks a foot or so.....lift out and other foot sinks in. He made it to the bridge and across. No better on the other side. Takes a few labored steps and then falls forward on his knees and starts to crawl! He crawled all the way to the path that meets this one. Pulling his bag and just crawled and did much better on his knees than he had done on his feet! It's a fair distance to crawl. The other path is out where the tower is and trees along it. Then he rose up, turned left and continued on his way, walking like nothing had happened, on a better traveled path! so funny to watch.
The little bridge is on the left where the boy started crawling and he went out to where the electrical tower is.
This picture is of the snow plow the church bought! The temple missionaries (MEN) would give anything to drive it. The driver is a member from Estonia, hired by the church to know what he is doing.
This is our parking lot he is clearing out from the last snow day. Notice the blue parking sign in the snow.
Here is the snow on the way to the main doors where we live.
