Perhe!
I love the hard
work and determination of the Wunderli family. You all are champs! That is way
cool that Nate qualified for the tournament this week, good luck! Keep me
updated! And of course all the choir fun sounds great, I am excited to be going
back to the best ward. Rachy- great that you are doing well and getting fit and
I am glad the whole wedding was filmed haha I still cant believe that actually
happened. Well, keep up the awesome work and don’t kill yourselves!
I had a good
week, it was good weather for a bit and now it seems as if winter is coming
back. There was the weirdest hail/rain/snow storm on Saturday and that did not
make the Finns happy, though it was pretty entertaining to experience. I ate
reindeer meat on a sandwich this week, so I can add that to my variety of great
meat that you wouldn’t find in America! Besides that, the work is going well
here. We recently got a new ward mission leader and he is awesome, I feel that
we are making great steps to motivating this ward into doing missionary work!
So far our main theme is "invite" and our main step is hosting more
parties. Yup, parties are the genius of the church and they rarely happen here.
But we are going to get it started! With each new step it is exciting to take
part in the work of salvation as it moves forward.
Within the past few days I have studied 3
Nephi 17, when Jesus is in America and He heals their sick and blesses the
children. I am so touched by His tenderness and I often ponder upon all the
times throughout my life and my mission when He has shown compassion on me and
given me motivation to move forward and to reach my potential. He has helped me
to forgive myself and to have joy, despite my weaknesses. He requires so little
of us to whom He gives everything. That is my testimony of the week! I know
that He lives. I am glad Skype will work out, I am excited to see you all in a
few weeks! Stay safe, I love you all!! :)
FROM DAD-
Hey Bear!
I’ll give a
short report of the family events for the week and let them fill in the
details. Mom and Essie have been fully engaged with the Genesis choir (
actually has a new name and is now funded by the Church) – they are performing
right now at a fireside (Mom just called me and said it was amazing).
Speaking of church choirs, our 7th ward choir performed in an
interfaith choir performance last Sunday at the Catholic Church up Creek
Road. It was AWESOME! Rachel, Megan, and Essie all rocked solos in
our amazing version of Glorious, while Mom, Nate, Mak, and I did our part
backing up in the choir. It was really fun to see the other choirs –
Catholic, Lutheran, non-denominational Christian, and one other I can’t
remember. The International Children’s Choir performed as well – they’ve
performed all over, including with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. I don’t
want to say our 7th ward choir was the best . . . but we were the
best. But it was all super cool. In other singing news, Mom,
Rachel, and I totally rocked the karaoke room at the Westerner last
night. Good times.
In fitness
news, Samie is still playing soccer. She hurt her ankle, but healed fast
and is back at it. Essie is getting close to running in a half marathon
in three weeks. Mak is running track and is getting a lot faster.
Rachel is cranking away in her fitness plan and playing softball. Megan and I
are still boxing, which I think has really improved my golf game.
In Utah
sports news, Mak, Essie, Samie and I went to Utah’s Red/White spring football
game yesterday. We’ve got a freshman quarterback who is only 18 years old
who looks promising. Hope springs eternal. Can’t wait to get you
back to the games in the fall!
But in even
bigger Utah sports news, Nate qualified for the starting lineup on the golf
team to play in the PAC-12 Championships starting this Friday, which is super
cool because the tournament is being held at the Salt Lake Country Club this
year, so Nate will have a big gallery following him. Nate had to play a
two day playoff this week against another teammate to see who got the last spot
in the lineup. I’ll let Nate fill in some details, but it sounded super
tense with lots of ups and downs.
We’re all
excited to talk to you on the 15th! We’re all so proud of you
and always look forward to your reports.
I love you!
Dad
