Dear Family,
IT is so good to hear from all of you today. I have recieved a lot of emails and because time is so short I will only be sending one email. But I am really thankful for all of your letters and emails. Today has been wonderful! I got my boxes on Friday at our District meeting. So i got them before my birthday. Thank you so much. It is alwasy a high light to recieve something from home. Speirs and Vorimo were just as excited. We have been eating like Kings. The notes, Ties, and candy have been a real hit.
Dad, in answer to your questions.
I never received my Priesthood Line. I did get Aldina´s email and i wrote back that week. I baptized Dmitry in the River just a couple kilometers away. Still within the city. The Language is hard, but everyday i am doing better. Coming from english to Finnish is like trying to rewire my brain.
Ok, This is a really cool tender mercy that has just happened. Ethan and I are on emailing at the same time! just a cool side note.
We had some really fun experience this week. We had a lesson with Seraph and he had some questions about the Law of the Land. We went throught and shared the we live accourding the laws of the land in which we live. Simple as that. WEll then Seraph asked about killing. We go to war to protect our families, our God, and our Freedom. (shortened)
Then he posed this question. "What if you come home and find your woman with another man?"
"WEll Seraph, We ask him to leave. We don't want to fight with him."
"what if he comes and starts hitting me?"
You Protect yourself and still ask him to leave."
What if I have a Gun?!"
Seraph, Where did you get the gun?
I am a police officer...
We are still working with him. He is awesome. We are setting a new baptismal date with him on wednesday. He also tore up a Jehovah Witness paper yelling. "This is not mine, I do not know why it is here. This religion is not for me."
Seraph is awesome, I love him.
Hanna is also doing well. We are setting a new/sooner baptismal date with her on tuesday. She has been working towards not smoking and she is doing very well. Her Grandparents are also coming to church almost every week.
That is just a quick update on our investigators. I am sorry that this is so short and a little impersonal. Today has been a little crazy. I am so greatful for all of you. I wish i could reply back to each of you , but time does not allow. It has been wonderful hearing from each of you. I feel for each of you. Today I have just experienced love from everyone. I woke up and opened one of my packages. Vanhin Speirs made me breakfast and after our study we have came to email. So the day is still new, I am also the last to email.
Dad, Mom, Justin, Kezia, Emily, Kim, Beej, Peter, Ellie, Jon, Kai, Jeff, Kindsey, Kaylee, Kelsie, and Jordan. Grandma and Grandpa. Thank you for all you do. It has been a little different being around the world and celebrating my birthday with out you. BUt know that I love you all. Thank you again for all the letters, emails and notes. They have really helped. I love you all. Until next week.
