I love you so much. I am sorry that this first week has been a little crazy. we are going to the Finland Consoulte ( i didnt spell that right) tomorrow and that is when our normal pday is so we have been changing our schedule so that we would be able to do laundry and email our family. Will you let Ethan know that i got his letter? i am in to process of writing him back, i actually got your dear elder yesterday. That completely made my day. I really do need the letters. The first week was extremely hard, but through prayer and the blessing of God i made it through. After Sunday I felt so much better. You may hear the same things. i sent a letter this morning to you.
I am grateful to here of all of our family being blessed. i have been praying every night for each and every one of you. I know Kindsey will start feeling better while i am gone. I cant believe she is actually driving by her self. we might need to get her a buddy back pack. The one with a cord on it. IS there anything i can do? anyone i need to pray for? let me now what i can do. How are all my siblings? Is JOrdan, Keslie, and Kaylee ok? tell them i want to hear from them.
Just so you know. i am getting lazy while i am typing. capitalizing words takes too long. i have so much to say!
I have been made district leader my second day in. I have given my first actual blessing. that i s one thing i would love to tell you. actually i have been dying to tell you.
One of the sisters in my district was having a rough day and after dinner during personal study she asked if elder rottler and myself would giver her a blessing. She asked if i would be the one to give her the blessing. i was scared to death. i had no idea what i would say. i didnt know what exactly to do. but i remembered that i needed to just rely on the Lord. So we walked into the lab across the hall and it was already a blessing because the lab was empty. It is never empty, but it was. As Elder Rottler and myself laid our hands upon her head the words just flowed through my mouth. the words seemed to just come right before i said them. It really helped me.
I am not going to lie. The first week has been extremely hard. Hard enough that Satan was working hard on me. But receiving your letter and the one from Ethan just lifts me so much. I feel that I walk on the Clouds when I receive a letter from home. So if you have time please write. I never realized how important it is to write to our missionaries! So...KIm, JOn, Jeff, I am so sorry i did not write you while were gone. I promise i will try my hardest to write everyone. Thank you all for your prayers, I know you are praying for me because of the blessing i receive every single day. My blessing can not be counted. Kiitos for your examples to me. I would not be here if it not been for each and every one of you.
Mom, could you email or DEAR ELDER me :) names, addresses, and emails of my friends. i am able to email friends too. so if i could get that. that would be wonderful. Let me know when you get my letter. And for my Younger Sibling...I expect a Letter or a DEAR ELDER from each of you by the end of this week. :) I also need a schedule of birthdays too. so that when i get to finland i can send personal presents.
I know this letter is little personal. So this part is for You Momma and Poppa.
I love the two of you so much. I want you to know that you have raised a worthy missionary. One that has been blessed mahtava promises. (amazing) Keep me posted on the blessing from home. let me know what i can do. And if you have time. please write. the MTC is getting better but it is still hard. the letters that i pick up everyday from the mail box help get me through each day. i have read all of my letters from you multiple time. I love you. i can not stress that enough. I love you more than vesi. water. until next week.
Love Jeremy Sandberg
