This hobbies section briefly describes and discusses my most beloved and important hobbies, but in addition to these hobbies, I have been involved in many more everyday hobbies, including cycling, boating, sailing, tennis and car racing in the summer and skiing, downhill skiing, Lapland tourism and snowmobiling in the winter. I have also been involved in many different associations and organizations from my youth to adulthood. For example, chess and reading have remained among my hobbies for decades. I have had many hobbies, but these six have been the most important and beloved: <\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ make_equal=”on” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Involved in the background activities of several Christian organizations since 1988. I came to faith in the Pentecostal movement in 1988. <\/p>\n I was involved in the Greater Helsinki Congregation from 1995 to 1997, then in 2003 I joined the Finnish Revival Association and moved to the revivalist movement.<\/p>\n I moved to the Finnish Lutheran Evangelical Association (SLEY) in 2016. I feel like I am Lutheran, but in my soul and heart I also feel like I am a charismatic. <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Fire department youth activities and then crew. I joined the boys’ section (now the youth section) of the Ruovesi Fire Brigade in 1972 at the age of 7, and then joined the crew in 1982, and in 1986 I left the active activities of the Fire Brigade. Through the companies I represent, I have also been able to collect museum fire engines, of which there are currently about a dozen stored in different places. We are looking for a common permanent location for them in Ruovesi or elsewhere in the surrounding area. <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n I am a member of the Finnish Steamship Society. As a \u201clegacy\u201d from my grandfather Lauri, I am a passionate steamship man. Lauri Merisalo, my grandfather, worked for decades as the manager and board member of the Steamship Cooperative Tarjanne, which owned the steamships S\/S Pohjola and S\/S Tarjanne. He was also involved in founding Oy Runoilijan tie, the company that still owns the S\/S Tarjanne today, in 1967. Through the companies I represent, I have actively supported and used the N\u00e4sij\u00e4rvi steamer S\/S Tarjanne, the steamships of P\u00e4ij\u00e4nne, and especially the steamships of Saimaa, in connection with various summer events and by organizing my own cruises. <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n1.
