Mahtava! (Fabulous) :)

Terve Fam!

Can you believe that I am going into my 3rd week already?! So . . where to start . . . ? Last Thursday my toveri (companion) and I taught the 1st lesson in the TRC. He's awesome. Vanhin Fuchs is so cool. I'm lucky to have him. Tomorrow we teach it again. Each time we teach or practice it or study it more it gets better and better. Amazing what the MTC does to ya. I've learned so much already. Mahtava!

The Finnish is coming along pretty hyvaa (good). It sure is getting harder and harder but it's fun at the same time. Keskiviiko Lokakuu Kaksikymmentakahdeksan Kaksimiljoonayhdeksan ( thats todays date ) :) Looooong way to go in this language still but so far I've learned how to pray, sing, introduce and talk about myself and ask some questions.

Elder L. Tom Perry was here for the Devotional last night! He re-iterated a talk Elder Holland must have given a while ago on 5 Teaching Requirements. It was really good. Then on Sunday we watched an old talk by Elder Jensen of the 70 on 2007. He spoke of Becoming a Diligent Learner. You should look it up. Way good.

On Sunday our Branch President gave the Priesthood lesson. He spoke of Medal of Honor heroes and the attributes they carry that we should have as well on our missions: like selflessness, courage, obedience, and charity. It was really inspiring and motivating.

The RC (Referral Center - where they answer calls from people who see the Church's commercials and want to order something) here is awesome. Taking and making calls is so fun. I love it.

Well, time is running short, anteeksi (sorry) How are all of you? Thanks for the Dear Elders. Pleeeease keep them coming. :) They are printed our and given to us twice a day sooo . . . . :)

Kiitos!

Can I get some addresses as well? Like the Dobbins and Bybees and stuff'? Thanks!!

Dad, is it Brown or Brammer? There is a Brammer here and a Brown that came in the same day as me. Brammer lived in SLC and knew Grandma Watson a little.

Well, kiitos everyone. I miss you but I'm loving it here. Shakespeare once said, "They do not love, that do not show their love." I love this work and I love you all! my prayers are with all of you and Grandpa.
