BACK IN ESPOO!!!

Because we did not get to the asuntola until 3:00 a.m. on Sunday morning, we chose to attend church in the ESPOO 2ND WARD which met in the afternoon from 2 - 5 p.m. That gave us a chance to sleep in a bit. We all needed that!

We had a dinner invitation to the VOUTILAINEN'S. They are such a great family. We have been here 3 times now.

Sisar made homemade soup....tasted sooo good on a chilly day.

And TWO CAKES for dessert.......

A cheesecake with fresh berries on top and a chocolate / orange cheesecake. Boy, was it ever delicious!! We are so much going to miss all of our friends here in Finland when we have to go home.

Back home here in Espoo....J & T and S & E leave in a short 2 1/2 days. It has been a wonderful time with them.

P.S. A little side note: We got a new STAKE PRESIDENCY today in our Frederick, Maryland Stake. President Suhaka was released. Jeff Cook (Westminster Ward) was called as the new Stake President. His 1st Counselor: Steve Duke (our Monocacy Ward Bishop!) and Jim Olson of Frederick Ward. Should be a great new Presidency. That means we will be getting a new Bishopric in a few weeks. Steven is currently serving as 1st Counselor in that Bishopric so he will be released in a couple of weeks! He has done a great job!!
