Week 23 in Savonlinna (Hurskastelevaisuuksissaankohankin, I dare you to Google Translate that one)

For the record, no, it doesn't translate. And also for the record, yes, that is one word. It's also a good example of the nature of Finnish - it doesn't quite translate to English, but here's the best translation I can come up with:

Isn't he/she too pretending(supposing/making a show of is the literal meaning) to be in(in the process of - kind of like 'doing') a repentant(pious)-ness(state of being)?

Don't you just love this language? I do.

On a side note, we've had a pretty good week! We're still working on a new baptismal date with our investigators(we have two guys who might be setting up one soon!), and we've been freezing our butts off. Great stuff. We haven't taken any pictures this week(I know, I'm sorry, Mom, I'll do better next week), because it's been so cold that we don't want to take out our cameras, because that means taking gloves off. Also, nothing happens in the winter. My pictures would just be of snowstorms, the frozen lake(okay, I actually need to get a pic of that - it looks awesome), and two little American icicles.

And, as always, here's my recording for the week!

Again, apologies for the lack of pictures - if you were here, you'd understand. I love you all, stay warm(unlike us), and stay strong!

Love,

Vanhin Bolingbroke
