Tere, tere!!

Kuidas läheb? Well I'm doing great!! MTC is a wonderful place! There are so many good classes and the spirit is so strong, I learn so many things and am reminded of so many things daily! I have the most loving district, we all come from different backgrounds but we are united in our cause and it is amazing.

Eile, Vanem Zwick oli siin! (Yesterday Elder Zwick was here). He talked about the importance of the Book of Mormon and that how imoprtant it is for our convertion to Christ! He invited us all to read it and pray about the truthfullneess of it, to recieve a renewed testimony about it (no-matter how many times we've read it previously) ..I'm at the end now and do not want to start over until I'm finished but once I am, I WILL start over and I would like to ecourage you to do the same!  If you've never had the oportunity to read the Book of Mormon, take the chance and do it now! It's a great book, filled with eternal truths, it teaches us the purpose of life and helps us become better people. I have felt the truthfulness of it when reading and I know you can do so too!

After the devotional with Elder Zwick we had a devotional review with the district and we all shared thoughts and experiences with eachother. The spirit and the love for everyone in that room was so strong! I was sitting in a room with spiritual giants! I'm happy I've been placed to learn and work with these people at this time, for the opportunity I have to learn from them and serve with them!

On monday Elder Kääriä and Elder Oberhansley left for Finland (they were our zone-leaders) they are great friends of mine, I love and respect them very much and I know they will do wonders in Finland, but it was VERY difficult to say good-bye to them on Sunday! It's only been a few days but they are missed here at the MTC! And with Elder Kääriä gone there's only two Swede's left here, crazy! Luckily I have Elder Werjefelt here until I leave for Estonia!!!!

So the language is coming along slowly and steady, hopefully I will know enough to make myself understood by an Estonian once I'm out there! ;) ..haha the days can be very intense here and soetime my brain shuts off! ..The other day after classes I was sooo tired, me and my companions were done for the day and we we're walking back to the residence hall. I was in my own little world and was deep in thought we two elders appeared to my right, I looked over and thought to myself: "Hey look, missionaries!! (As if that was something I didn't see everywhere, all day long) ;) ...BLONDE moment! ;)

Anyways, now I'm off to enjoy the rest of my Ettevalmistuspäev!!

Hope you'll have a wonderful week!!

Ma armastan sind!
