Good morning from Savonlinna, all! I hope everything's well at home, and that the sun shines back in Utah, because it doesn't here!

I'm trying something new this week. Last time around, I spent most of my allotted time for emailing - an hour and a half - composing this massive group email. Didn't have a whole lot of time for responding to individual emails! It made me sad! So I'm trying something out. I'm gonna start taking voice recordings and sending them instead! I want to know what you all think - I'm sad, because I like composing these stories to share with everyone, but we have much less time here to do so. The work doesn't leave much time for it!

However, I'll shortly highlight a few... highlights!

Firstly, I SAW CASEY BOND!!! I love this man! The picture's attached, and on the drive, but we met up at the train station on the way to the mission tour!

Next, we had talks over the past few days from Elder Massimo De Feo, Elder L. Whitney Clayton, and Elder M. Russel Ballard! He came and gave a little devotional to just us missionaries in Finland! It was really a treat. He shared a powerful testimony, it really gave us a lot to think and talk about as missionaries.

That's really all for this week! The recording I have for this week is included in the email, and I'll be sure to keep everyone updated on the happenings in Finland!
