Elder Weaver and Elder Quinn 'Givin out BOMs like Alma and Abinadi"

Terve!

Well, here I am in the new church emailing. The facility is really nice and modern and it's been great to be here everyday this week as people have come to check it out. It was a big thing three years ago when the old church burned down. It was started by two teenage boys playing with fire by the garbage can. Well, first the garbage can went, and then the whole building. The whole town knew about it. I remember walking the streets of Tampere almost two years ago and people would always say, oh yeah the Mormons...I heard about your church that burned down.

 Because of the fame of the fire many people were excited to come see the new building. Members were here all day everyday for nine days guiding tours that left every half hour. They told about church programs, the facility, and of course church doctrine! :) We were stationed at the end by the refreshments....( great location if you ask me). And we were able to chat with people, teach them, get contact information and give out all kinds of church material hundreds of Books of Mormon were taken.

Elder Weaver and I have been blessed with lots of work. :) It has been a fun journey as we've followed the spirit this week. Coming to the new ward is a bit tricky and there is a lot we don't know, but as we've followed the Holy Ghost we've found little successes. It's directed our conversations with people at the open house, speak this fun language, and find our way to the elect.

Continue your prayers for the elect to be found. We know there are people the Lord has prepared for us to find and baptize this change. We can't find them ourselves. We need the help of heaven. Thank you for your support.

Love,









Elder Quinn

Wow, that is quite the computer screen. Dallen will need a fork in one hand and a knife in the other to be able to eat when he gets home:) I think it is a European thing.
