Week 22 in Savonlinna (Five Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand, Six Hundred...)

What does that number mean? Is it the number of baptismal dates we have? Ha, of course not! Is it how many times I've slipped and fallen on the ice? No(I'm pretty sure that number's bigger). You'll have to look it up and find out for yourself.

On an entirely unrelated note, 2017 is over! The new year has begun! I'm attaching my two recordings(the recorder ran out of batteries partway through the recording, so there's two), but just to show you how hilarious the Finnish language is, I'll write out the word '2018' for you:

Kaksituhatkahdeksantoistasataa.

Welcome to Finnish. We don't believe in the space bar here.

In the meantime, here's our week of pictures, recordings, and awesome experiences!

Until next week, keep on being amazing! I love you all, and have a wonderful 2018!

Sincerely,

Vanhin Bolingbroke

Update: If you haven't already heard, we just found out that President Monson, the Prophet of our Church, has passed away. I can't describe in words quite how I feel - suffice it to say that I'll redirect you to this video on Lds.org:
