Dear Äiti ja Isä,
You would be proud of me, I already sent Jordans Baptismal talk. It should get there this week. Letters seem to talk about a week to get here. From what I have noticed. Did you receive Pitures for Sisar Alhovuori? Because Elder Stanley and I have no idea what pictures you are talking about, but you have both our permission for what ever you are doing. We trust you.
Our week was Great, we got our change calls on thursday, both elder stanley and myself will be staying here in Kerava. But the change will be that I am not senior companion anymore. Which is good for Elder Stanley, He is a bit shy so this will be very good for him. ( He is preparing for a trainee)
If you received the Pictures from Sisar Alhovuori then you will see our grand adventure out in sipoo. We had service all day long. We had not planned it that way, but it was what was needed. We got so much done, wonderful to see afterward.
Thank you Dad, for teaching us to work, and to work effectively. Elder Stanley would ask multiple times why I would be doing something a certain way. "Because if I do it now, we don't have to worry about it later."
We were also blessed yesterday, we had a Easter Fireside which only a handful of members came too, but out of that handful we were able to have 6 non-members come. One being Harri and Aija, two being Reino and his girlfriend, and the third was our dry member and his friend.
It was heart warming to see as our bishop pulled us away and he mentioned, Veljet, we have 6 non-members here!" He doesn't speakk english with us often, but he was so excited to see that we had Harri, Aija, and Reino all there.
The best part was see how Heavenly Father prepares even Friends.
Aija found out that see went to school with one of our members and they even had the same teacher so the were abel to talk nearly the entire time after the Fireside. Tender mercy and a Fleece.
You too sound a little trunky ;) It is a little crazy to think that I have passed my year mark now. Elder Stanley and I baked muffins to celebrate. We also made Spagetti with white sauce on Sunday. You would be proud Mama, I take care of my companions very well. We eat very well.
The Language has just sky rocketed since being with Elder STanley. he is more shy than I am so he doesn't talk much around anyone, so at the beginning I had to talk to everyone on my own which has really helped. He knows this language really well and understands better then me, but preffers that i speak and he just listens. We are still working on that. ;)
I look forward to the time that I can speak with Annakaisa and George too. I have moments during the day that I just crave speaking Finnish. Other times I want to pull my hair out because i don't understand, but I am beginning to pick up finnish words before I think of the english one. It will be wonderful to have someone to speak too when I come home. I have ment some senior missionaries that have come back to Finland and have to relearn Finnish all over again, this is not my plan. I really want to do what PMG asks us to do. Master the Language. If not now in the field then in years to come. It is a beautiful language that just strums my heart you could say.
I hope Jon and Jeff and Beej are all keeping up their language. ( You can picture my eye upon you.)
I will leave you with our Easter message. John 20:10-16. Also read Jesus the Christ when you have time about this subject. It is really beautiful. Thank you again for everything. I love you all so much and I pray for you daily. Keep on trucking!
Love,
Vanhin Sandberg
