The Lou Midgley picture is hilarious. Thank you, whoever added that.
Well, I’m trying to add myself, but the thing doesn’t recognize any cities in Finland… oh well :)
Kim,
As Bryce explained it to me, you enter your city in this manner: Helsinki, Southern Finland Province (Finland). Good luck. It is fun to see where everyone is.
Hmm… that doesn’t seem to work either. I tried putting in ‘Tampere, Southern Finland Province (Finland)’, but it complains “Invalid city”.
Currently, Frappr only supports addresses in the US, UK, and Japan that I know of.
Ok, I suspected something like that. Anyway, now y’all know that there are people (at least one!) even in far-away Finland frequenting the Bloggernacle.
It also works for Canadian cities.
How’s the Church doing in Finland, Kim? I heard some of your units are on the experimental two-hour block on Sundays. True?
My apologies for not mentioning Canada
Just checked frapper on another blog. She has folks in Australia, India, and Finland. Curiouser and curiouser.
Amazing, it worked now. Thanks to whomever did something to make it work! :)
Wilfried, you are correct in that many (if not most) units in the mission districts of Finland are on the two-hour block, and have in fact been already for quite some time. Both Tampere and Helsinki stakes are on the normal three-hour block.
Otherwise, church membership numbers have practically been stagnant in Finland ever since the 1980s, and I think it would be an interesting research task to find the reasons for that. However, a new mission president arrived this summer and he has completely revised the work of the missionaries by asking them not to tract at all but instead to come up with other ways of finding and befriending people. A very courageous approach, let’s hope that it leads to good results.
The Helsinki temple is going to be ready next fall, and its effects on the church in Finland in general remain to be seen. In any case, it is probably going to be a great boost to the current membership.
Kim,
So where do you go to sign up for the two hour block plan again? Sounds like a great thing to me :->
Guy,
Just move to the northern or eastern part of Finland and you’ll be fine!
