Perhe!
I am glad to hear everyone is doing
well! I can never remember what happens during
the week but I will try to think of some random stories for ya´ll...
We are on a roll as far as teaching foreign men goes haha, we got one of our investigators to came to church after he told us multiple times that he never ever goes to church! It was awesome because Elder Holland was speaking in a special satellite broadcast to northern Europe for stake conference. It was amazing. All the speakers were really good and Elder Holland bore powerful testimony of the Book of Mormon. Our investigator (a student from Nigeria) said that Elder Holland really sounded like an apostle! No kidding!! haha so that was a cool experience.
We are also finding more creative ways to serve the members here which is great because Finns do NOT ask for or accept help very well. They are not a fan of the word "help". Something to do with how Russia was taking over. But we decided to embrace the sister missionary and bake a TON of cookies to give out ha-ha, everybody loves cookies! The Lord has blessed us a lot and continues to provide support! I also got Rachel and Mom´s letters this week so thanks! It was really nice to hear from both of you :) and good to hear that cardboard Terra is holding up nicely, you have to make sure she looks good for the wedding! I have to look my best in those pictures. People say it has been quite a cold summer so far for Finland so i am hoping the weather warms up soon! Though a nice 65 degrees is never bad and I don’t know what to expect out of summer here. It is always beautiful though! Well, that’s all I got, the church is true! :)
