Well well! What have we here?

Tons of pictures, that's what I have. Do you think I take too many?

Nah.

First things first - Last P-day, we went to a scenic spot in Rauma - right by the Baltic sea! (Jokes - the whole city is 'right by' the Baltic sea) Took a ton of pictures, and I had to resist the strange urge to jump in(my swimmer's instincts almost took over)





There's also a little rock that's been graffiti'd with this lovely little message! Awesome stuff.




Then, we had Zone Conference in Tampere!


We stopped at a grillikioski on the way back, had some nice makkaraperuna.


Hmm... other things for the week - we've continued teaching our wonderful Niina - she has a baptismal date coming up soon! I'll probably leave Rauma before she gets baptized, unfortunately, but one of our members talked to her about the church, and she's diving headfirst into Jesus Christ's Gospel! It's been a joy teaching her, and her testimony is, in part, holding mine up - she's such a strength to us!

It's already V-book time in the transfer! Elder Viitanen and I have been talking about a lot of doctrines of the Gospel, so I wrote this little gem in his V-book.



I also bought a 70% cocoa dark chocolate bar, and I've fallen in love with dark chocolate.


I saw this really purty tree the other day.


Aaand, a few pictures from last week, as well!

EMLC at the Temple!


The Tampere Zone Leadership!


The Tampere Zone Leadership after realizing that I'm - again - the hobbit of the group.

Quote: "Did you put Elder Bolingbroke in front because he's the shortest?"

Me: "Excuse me?"


Here's a funny one - this is Jari Vesterinen - our ward mission leader(years ago).

Thousand-mile stare.


Also I learned to make bread.



Welp, that's our week for ya! I love the work here, and being able to give to my God this time, and serve Him and His children. Stay strong! Stay warm! Love you!
