Spencer's email came in early tonight. Just so you understand what he is talking about when he said: "Good to see me in church" part. A member of our bishopric borrowed our life size cut out of Spencer to help him with a sharing time in primary. Here is the pictures he saw! Also we can't tell you how excited we were that Spencer got to meet up with his best friend Abraham. Never dreamed they could make it happen but they did and it was a joyous reunion. Enjoy!
Brother Breinholt and his companion Elder Tippetts:
This was the picture they took inside the airport. Spencer got to visit Elder Hendryx for about 90 minutes. It was a goal they made in the MTC. Here is what Spencer said along with the picture:
Setting: MTC 2013
Elder Tippetts- "We wont see each other for two years!"
Elder Hendryx- "Shhh. We will figure out a way!"
The impossible has been made possible.
Dear Family & Friends,
Saw Elder Hendryx this week. His trainer was here in Finland a week ago and told us Elder Hendryx would be AP next transfer. Elder Hendryx commented that we have had all the same callings since teachers quorum!
This week we learned that not only will Elder Kearon of the Seventy be coming with Elder Bednar but both of their wives will be coming as well... We will still be picking them up! The fact that their wives are coming doubles the scariness of it!
We have super specific rules we have to follow. We have to know the route from the airport to the chapel perfectly and be prepared to use an alternitive route. We are not allowed to speak to them until they speak to us. Things like that. Pretty crazy!
I got sick this week with a cold. It wasn't fun because we didn't get much sleep so everything really stacked up on itself.
A sister missionary was sent home for medical reasons this week. So we had a departure dinner at the Watsons with her. When we drop off departers their plane usually leaves at 7amso we have to be up pretty early to get there on time.
We got in contact with one of our favorite investigators this week named Piret. She is awesome! We love her a ton. Her son is 9 and is learning too. We got him a picture Book of Mormon so he can understand it a little better.
MLC was this week so we took a whole day out of the week to do that. We went to the temple that morning and I got do do an endowment finally! It was in Finnish and it was really cool sitting back and realizing I can speak another language.
Elder Kiuttu got sick with a crazy stomach flu. He hasn't eaten for 24 hours. It was so bad we stayed for just sacrament and then left to go home. I cleaned while he slept. Also because Sister Watson told us that apple sauce was the best thing for him to eat. So I made fresh homemade apple sauce for Elder Kiuttu! I was so proud of myself!
Today we have our weekly meeting with President Watson. We have a lot to talk about because change calls go out this week.
We picked up the sisters from our MTC group yesterday to take them to the mission home. We have their departing dinner tonight. Super weird that our sisters are going home!!!!
This week is the dreaded week before transfers so we are buckling up! Saturday is completely spent planning the logistics of the transfer. It takes a super long time and then we have to buy all the tickets and send the information and itinerary to everyone and then call them and tell them what they will be doing! On top of all of this, President Watson will be in Germany! He will be running the show from mainland Europe while we do stuff here! After we plan all of this change we can plan travel for the mission conference. Thats gonna be quite exciting.
Anyway, pray for me. Im runnin´ low but today we get like 3 hours of P-day so thats nice!
Love you all!
