My brother, Luke Sakievich, received his mission call in October. He will be serving in the Baltic States mission Lithuanian speaking! I served there primarily as a Russian speaker from 97-99 and learned Lithuanian during the last 8 months of my mission. Sveikiniu tave, broli!

For those of you in Utah, or anywhere with the full broadcast lineup through KSL, "United by Faith" will be shown at 1:00 PM today between sessions of conference. If you missed it in April, I encourage you to watch it this time around. It's about the Helsinki Finland Temple and the members in the countries served by that temple, so you learn about the Church in the Baltics and in western Russia and Finland. I saw several members that I knew and hadn't seen in over a decade; it was wonderful!

One of our alumni, Amy Coray, would like to share the following information:
As most of you know, I'm currently working for our adoption agency, Premier Adoption. I'm trying to get out the word about some informational meetings we have coming up next week. If you are interested in adoption, or know anyone who might be interested in adoption, will you please forward this information to them?
Our program director will be coming up from Southern Utah to talk about Premier's programs (we have several available) and will especially be presenting information about a "Latvia Summer Camp" sponsored by our agency this summer. Families will be able to have a child or sibling group (ages 5-12) from a Latvian orphanage live with them for three weeks this summer. All of the children are healthy, and in need of good homes. We are looking for families who want to adopt, and can have a home study complete before the children arrive. Participation in the summer camp will fulfill some of Latvia's adoption requirements and will replace one of the two trips Latvia normally requires for adoption. The Latvian government may also waive some fees and expedite the process for older children.
Here is the information for the meetings:
Friday, March 2nd
Provo City Library (550 N University Ave)
Bullock Room (#309)
6:30 p.m.
Saturday, March 3rd
Salt Lake City Library (210 E 4th South)
Conference Room 4
9:00 a.m.
Saturday, March 3rd
Grace Baptist Church (390 N 400 E in Bountiful)
1:00 p.m.
All meetings are open to the public and free of charge. Anyone who wants more information may call me (801-773-1891), or our office in Mesquite (702-346-4922), or visit our website: www.premieradoption.org.
Thanks,
Amy

I recently received my mission call to the Baltics speaking Russian. If anyone could send my information on what to bring, or any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

We just returned from the temple dedication in Helsinki. I saw Fazer Chocolate in many stores. Is this a key ingredient in Fazer Pie?
|

My thanks to Mary Scott for bringing to my attention the articles in Meridian Magazine about the Helsinki Temple.

Miguel and I are considering coming to Utah this fall for conference and wonder if there will be a Baltic mission reunion at that time. I haven't been to a reunion in several years because I live so far away, but would love to see everyone.

If anyone know that recipe, email me too, at goviite@yahoo.com
I totally forgot about that beautiful taste.

I know this is a long shot, but I am looking for the recipe for Fazer pie.
If you have it you probably served between 1996-2000, unless it has been passed down according to the traditions of our fathers...
Send me an email: beck.dave@gmail.com

I don't know if anyone is interested or keeping up with the news, but things are getting more and more complicated in Belarus, they recently passed a strictly regulatory law on religion (from what I hear our branches are mostly OK). People who have tried to protest the current government are being treated very badly. If anyone has any ideas of something that can be done or is willing to write some letters (I'm tracking down where to send them in terms of Congress and/or UN) please email me. (craymond@ucsd.edu). Thanks, and just pray for them, things are pretty bad.

Hello to those of you who visit this website. I served from 98-2000 and I'm taking my wife to visit the beautiful Batlic States at the end of May. I'm looking for an apartment in Kaunas to rent for 1 week and also would love to get my hands on those tourist pamphlets, Kaunas in your pocket and Klaipeda in your pocket. Any advice or help? It is very much appreciated.
My email is willardson55@hotmail.com
