AND THE ASUNTOLA IS 'READY'

FOR THE HOLIDAYS!!!

Under PRESIDENT HAIKKOLA'S supervision (and taking pictures!) the Christmas tree was put up and decorated on Monday night. We were not here to help because we were driving back from our trip up north to SEINÄJOKI. President Haikkola did a great job!

Veli Zaretski took care of the top of the tree from the steps going up to the 2nd floor.

We have had a LOT of snow this week......Wayne has been out shoveling almost every day at the O'DARK HOUR of about 4:30 a.m. Got to get that snow removed before anyone walks on it and gets it packed!

And then.....MATTI and his crew put the SEIMI up on the grounds between the asuntola and the temple steps! This is a NEW platform made just a few weeks ago. Smaller but still nice!

LEST WE FORGET.....TODAY IS....

HYVÄÄ KIITOS PÄIVÄ.....

HAPPY THANKSGIVING ALL OF OUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS IN AMERICA!!

We will be going out to dinner tonight with the American Temple Missionaries....but it won't be TURKEY! The picture below was taken this morning at 7:30 a.m. on our way up to the temple.
