Helsinki Temple

We visited some very beautiful and interesting churches in Finland.  For us, the highlight was the LDS temple in Espoo--just outside of Helsinki.  On the outside, the landscaping compliments the dense forests and lush greenery of Finland.  On the inside, it was beautiful (of course!).  The temple also had a nice guest house where families can stay during a temple trip.  They also let you use the guest house facilities for day trips.  It worked out great for us--so that our whole family could spend time at the temple.  This was Leah's first time to go to the temple.  She and Anna did baptisms for the dead and Spencer was able to baptize them.  Anna brought some names of our ancestors for the baptisms.   It was a wonderful day--and thanks to the Golds and others that made the day possible!
