This was a pretty short email for having such an exciting week. They had a mission tour with the area seventy President Teixeria and his wife. Spencer mentioned a little about it. Earlier in the evening I actually received an email from Sister Teixeria. I will share her email and then Spencer's email. Both were wonderful.
Dear Tippetts Family,
President Teixeira and I we just arrived from touring the Helsinki Finland mission. We visit your son, Elder Tippetts in his very clean apartment and plan the week with them last Tuesday evening. During the rest of the days we traveled with him, his companion and President and Sister Watson visiting all missionaries in Zone Conferences.
You should be proud of him! He is faithful and obedient. He is doing great. He is an outstanding missionary! Thank you for all that you are doing.
May The Lord bless you always.
With love,
President and Sister Teixeira

Dear Family & Friends,
Dad, happy birthday! How does it feel to turn 30? That cake looked mighty good! I have to be honest Finnish food is getting kinda boring and that cake has my mouth watering. On fast sundays I find myself fantasizing about eating KFC. Maybe not the most focused thing to be doing.
Anyway, what a week! Elder and Sister Teixeira actually did come and plan with us in our apartment! Pretty rare experience! It was wild how powerful these two were! Well, I would like to explain in more detail his visit but I will have to tell the details in person one day! In our planning meeting he asked us to "Think higher" and "consider all the possibilities" he told us to raise our goal of 3 new investigators to 6! A crazy goal considering we were to be out of our area for 2 days! Well after some great meetings with the Teixeiras we came home and got to work! oh we also taught two of our investigators with Elder and Sister Teixeira! that was cool!
We worked our tails off until sunday night we had 5 new investigators. We worked until 9 oclock and decided to go home because it was too late and no one was out. So as I was backing the car up elder Richards was standing outside and stopped the only walking man and started up a conversations. I got out of the car and jumped in. Long story short the very last person we talked to this last week turned into our 6th investigator! WOW!!! We did it!
The Spirit was strong all week as we were knee deep in the work of the Lord. Wow, I love being a missionary! This week I was especially tired. but it will one day all be over and I wont regret a thing!
Love you all and have a great week!
Elder Spencer Tippetts
