We're coming home!

Finland! Finland! Finland! Finland!

I can't even start to describe to you just how thrilled we are to head back home. We are so ready to leave. And don't get us wrong, this journey has been beyond amazing. Everything has been like the most precious gift from the start and we have enjoyed every single thing God has given us. 

And yesterday... Wow. Just wow. Like before, our timing was just right from the start. The show started at 5:00PM, but like I said before, we needed to collect our tickets first. Many people said that the organizer was horrible. We saw many messages online where people said that it was going to be a real pain to even try to get the tickets - someone even said we were never going to see Infinite and that we should go to another city. But we were confident, because we knew God had it all planned out. And guess who just walked to the ticket counter, showed their reservation number and got their tickets. That's right. We did.





So pretty tickets. There were a lot of people, like you can probably imagine. We were literally the only western people. We didn't really blend in and we received a lot of long stares that day. Heh. The concert was almost full. There was a few seats empty in front of us. In fact, we were the only ones sitting in the back row in our zone. Awesome! We were in our own privacy, but our seats were perfect. The stage was right in front of us and we were so close we saw their faces. 



For some stupid reason it was forbidden to take any pictures or videos from the show. I don't know why. That is just ridiculous. But I was a sneaky bastard and took our GoPro camera with us. It's so small I could easily take some video footage and not get caught. Muahaha. But unfortunately I can't download any videos here, because apparently the quality is too high and the file is too big.

Infinite was amazing. Fantastic. Badass. Marvelous. Just Amazing with a capital A. We all enjoyed the show to the fullest. This was our grande finale. Our cherry on top of the cake. Can't say anything, but thank you, Lord, for taking us here. We want to pray for the boys and bless them :)

Today we left Anantara Serviced Suites. If you ever visit Bangkok, do yourself a favor and book yourself a room from here. The service was flawless. We have nothing, absolutely nothing to complain about. Everything worked like a well oiled machine. The staff made everything perfect. It's not much, but for example when we asked them to call us a taxi to Thunder Dome, they made sure the taxi driver knew where he was going and when we came back, the receptionist smiled warmly and asked what was the show like (we answered it was awesome). But really, come on. How many receptionist really even remember where you're going. So yeah, we'll give them the highest points. Good job, Anantara, good job!

But here we are, at our last hotel. Dwella Suvarnabhumi Hotel. This is right next to the airport. And all we can think about is waking up tomorrow and going to the airport. Because FinlandFinlanfFinlandFINLAND. Uwawawa. It's true what they say; there's no place like home. 

Tomorrow! 
But before we wrap this up, we'd just like to point out just how closely God has walked with us. I mean, we weren't even leaving in July. Of course we talked about going, but it was always if and when. And we slowly started to save money a year ago. We had our plane tickets two months before we left. We only had tickets to Hong Kong and to Singapore. From there we didn't know anything. We didn't have any plans, nothing. And when almost everyone warned us about that or about this, told us not to eat that or do that, told us horror stories about that other thing and oh, there's almost this terrible thing that could and will happen to everyone who goes to Asia. So many people warned us about small and big things, but nothing bad happened to us. We've been perfectly healthy from start to finish. No one robbed us. No one bothered us. We always had a bed where we could fall asleep. We didn't face any problems, none whatsoever. Everything just flowed perfectly. If we learned anything, it's that when you're walking with Jesus, you don't have to worry about anything. Everything is in His hands. You just have to look up to Him, pray to Him and trust in Him. Simple as that. We've walked in peace. And we are so rested. Some might think you'd feel bone deep exhaustion after travelling for a month. But no, this has been nothing but laughter, happiness and adventure for us.

So now, we want to truly thank you Almighty God. Thank You. This journey happened only because of You. You made all of this happen and you took care of us. Thank you, that You walked right next to us with every step. We give all glory to You, because it belongs to You. And we don't care what people might think, good or bad. Let it be know Jesus Christ is our Lord, our Savior, our King, our God, our everything. Because He matters. 

"We ought to obey God rather than men" [Acts5:29]
"Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." [Matthew 6:19-21] 

Yeah. That's about it. We'll right here again when we go to another adventures, but that's happening in the next year. Thank you and be blessed :)

Bonus:

This is what we call a breathtaking view. Finland in summer. It's winter when we get back, but we love it also :D

Finland. The most beautiful country in the world. 'nuff said.
