Hello everybody!
This week I can only write but a few words
despite the fullness of my heart. We will be spending a few days in Helsinki
next week and are missing our P-day. I have my Language School and Vanhin
Jefferies gets to go to the temple!
The missionary work here in Mikkeli is going
crazy! We currently have 3 people preparing to be baptized in June and another
one that is ready now but just needs more time! I love being a missionary. It
really is the best thing in the world. They said there is a saying something
like, "if you’re not having fun, then you are doing something wrong."
I don’t believe it.
There are some parts of missionary work that
are truly not fun. However, in the end of it all and when you kick your shoes
off as you enter the apartment and reflect on what you just did, nothing is
better than that. Were in the business of saving souls here!
Skyping on Mother's Day was awesome. I may or
may not have cried a little bit after.
Dad: I'm glad you sent me the letter even if it
was a little late. Sad to hear about the tree and the little projector sounds
sick!
Family: you guys are the best. You are all the
kind of people that make me want to miss home. But I don’t because the church
is true! That didn’t really make sense. I love you all! Also I told mom about a
big surprise that I am currently working on sending home. I will give a sneak
peak... It includes... Wait for it... CHOCOLATE!!!! But there is more and you
will just have to wait and find out what it is!
After Skype on Sunday the Sohkonen family fed
us a dessert and sang us happy birthday. They gave us leather Moose shaped
bookmarks and Nestori gave us some chocolate. Then we had a testimony meeting
with Nestori and the Sohkonen family. Nestori even bore his testimony! It was
truly one of the greatest days of my entire life.
I love you all and apologize for if I am forgot
something. I will do my best to reply to everything next time!
Love,
Vanhin Tippetts
