Dear Äiti,
I look forward to ready yours and a Isi's letters. They are another great place to "add oil to my lamp" as Lloyd would say. I just get even more pumped to do missionary work!
Answers to your questions.
The Dear Elder letters are great, but i really don't have time to read them. I just barely got through the last ones you sent. I hear from the boys on pday and that works. But if you could collect them so that i could read them when i get home that would be great. Are you still doing that with my emails?
I was able to talk to Dmitry and he is just fine about you putting up his picture. Hanna i have not been able to ask yet. We have had a hard time setting up teaches with her the past couple of weeks. But i will ask her this week.
That is who that package is from. I got a call from the office saying that they had a package for me and that the Londons would be bringing it to Oulu.
I didn't know who it was from, but that makes sense now. The Oulu elders have it at the moment. I had just barely missed the Londons last week from our District meeting. So Wednesday i should get it.
Kiitos Paljon Annakaisa, That is very kind of her.
Isä, your questions. Sorry i have been so bad about answering your questions. Elder Speirs and myself are the last elders here in the North. We have wondered if there are any other missionaries higher then us. Our Area is from about half way to Kemi all the way up to where Norway and Finland High Five. We have a very large area.
Elder Speirs has been in Rovaniemi since he got to Finland so he is going about 7 months here in Rovaniemi. He might leave the next transfer. We will have to see.
Alright, Story time.
We met with our Young couple this past week. They are awesome, They love us. Tatu and Alisa are their names. Tatu is Finnish and Alisa is American. Alisa has a lot of questions and they are falling right into our lessons that we want to teach. We have met with them three times and have not had a real solid teach because she has so many questions, but we are about to share our testimonies and leave them with good commitments.
So Fun fact. I ripped my pants for the first time yesterday. Elder Speirs and I were climbing over a small fence that was no higher them my waist. I help lift the bikes over the fence first and then when I went to climb over I heard a beautiful ripping sound. I have a hole from the middle of my groin all the way to the middle of my back half. That didn't stop us. I went another Hour and a Half until we made it home. We even visited one of our less actives at the time. That was a wonderful adventure.
I think it is the extra 15 lbs i have gained. I only gained 5 in the MTC, but know I am getting a slight gut! Fist PUMP!!!
Yeah, we have a new goal to actually go running in the mornings.
Second story.
Jonathan and Paula had their wedding reception here in Rovaniemi the 28 of Sept. Your can ask Annakaisa about the difference in weddings. I still don't understand it. But before the party began we were asked if we had prepared anything to do....."Ummmm no."
"Well make something up. You can use these wigs and sunglasses if you need."
All in short If you received a text or email from Sophia then that explains it. If not. Well Surprise, I danced while Elder Speirs played 'Lady Madonna' Speirs looked like John Lennon and I was called Skinny Fritz. We have some pictures with our Fans that We can send. Those were our too adventures this week that i can remember.
Yesterday in Church our Branch President gave an amazing talk about Member missionary work. Our RS president also shared her testimony about how it is the members job to find people for the missionaries to teach. It is amazing to see the fire that is burning in our members. It amazes me how Heavenly Father wants his work to go forward and so it it. IT is moving and I am able to be apart of this movement. I am part of the Royal Army of God. Fighting alongside my Fellow Brothers against Satan and his fallen angels. WE will win. WE already have. Now it is the time to endure and help others get up and keep walking towards the finish line.
Thank you family for all you do. I love you and pray for you everyday. Be safe.
Love,
Vanhin Jeremy Sandberg
ps.Happy Birthday Kelsie!!!
