Dear Family,
This week has been great! we got back from interm training on friday morning. We went down Sunday night on a night train and from monday to wednesday we had training on how to be better missionaries. We did a lot of Role plays. And then we had Kieli Koulu on Thursday. This was all down in Helsinki at the Mission office. It was only for the new 6 week missionaries and our trainers. It was a lot of fun.
I am also in a Tri Companionship. We have and Elder from Espoo that was ment to go to the Mtc in Provo, but his visa is not gone all the way through yet so he had the Choice to start his mission now or wait 6 weeks. His mission call is the the Ukraine... I dont think i spelled that right, But he came up with us unexpectedly. It has been so much fun. This is only our week mark today and it has been a blast! His name is Vanhin Vorimo.
How was Kezia's Birthday? Did Justin do something nice for her? I forgot to mention it in my email last week , but HAPPY BIRTHDAY KEZIA!!!
How are they doing? Are they still not there for family dinners? I miss our family dinners. Since i have been in Roi we have only had one DA. Dinner Appointment. But that is ok. We cook fairly well for ourselves. That reminds me.
Can you send me a Crepe recipe? I have been craving crepes for weeks. How is my account looking also? I am hoping to buy a suit today...I hope that is ok. I only have too. I bought a ring three days ago. It was kind of like a companion ship thing. I will send a picture of it.
I also bought a nice coat from a departing missionary. i bought it for 20e. i will be sending him another 10e this week. He only used it for one winter and normally coats can easily cost 100e or more so i thought of it as a blessing. It is super nice.
If you want to just save the Brethren Emails that would be great. I don't want sending them to be too much of a hassle.
It makes me so happy to see how the Lord is blessing all of you while I have been gone. Life is hard, but it is never harder then we can bare. That is the beautiful thing about Jesus Christ and his atonement.
He knows us as our Father in Heaven knows us.
Dad, Vanhin Murray wanted me to tell you that you need to get yourself a scottish flag pin. Do that for my birthday and then send me picture. Vanhin Murray is from Scotland, Dun...something. I dont remember the town, but he is a convert of only three years. one and a half years before his mission. He is one of my Favorite missionaires.
I love you all. If you need anything let me know. I pray for you everyday.
Love Vanhin SandbergCool Pics With Elder Silvennoinen
Debbie,
Hello! Elder Speirs asked me to send you this picture from your son. It is difficult to see the boys, but I think the background is cool. It was taken at night when it should be dark. The other boy is the youth that spent a week with them. I title it "Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego" haha!! I hope Elder Sandberg is doing well. Elder Speirs loves him and really enjoys working together with him. They are doing great!!! I hope you are doing well.
Enjoy the pic!
Erika
