In front of the Helsinki Temple, December, 2007

We began serving in the Helsinki temple February 14, 2007 and we will return home at the beginning of February, 2008. We serve Estonian, Finnish, Latvian, Lithuanian, and Russian members of the Church Tuesday through Saturday as they come to perform important ordinances for themselves and in behalf of their family members who are deceased. We have been inspired how dedicated the people from all these countries are to family history research. We are especially inspired by the sacrifice of time and money made by Russian members as they travel from as far as Siberia to attend the temple.
