Perhe!

I literally can't top Nate coming back so who knows what to say. I am safe and well haha. I got the package with my grammar book in it so thank you! Cant wait to dive into it!! And thanks for the letter Dad, even in Finland I am still little bear! :) also thanks for the watch and jewelry keeper. I don’t really have much jewelry... but... I am sure I can put it to use hahaha. Kiitos!

Anyway, I love change call week because every time they are miracle weeks! It shows that God can work miracles regardless of the fact that there is a lot of change and adjusting to new situations.

First off, OH MY GOSH being with just one companion is like the best thing that has ever happened to me! Ok, that’s exaggerating but I had NO idea how different and difficult it was being in a trio until this week. I actually have room for my clothes and on my desk and there is walking space in our room. And everything is so much more efficient. We worked the trio pretty well last transfer but I am grateful to be passed that for awhile (hopefully forever) haha.

Also, we are actually teaching Finns! We are teaching one girl who is about 24 and then 2 friends who are 18. It is weird teaching people my age but they are so nice. It obviously is a challenge due to the little amount of time me and Sisar Harris have been in the field but it forces us to rely on the Lord for everything. I definitely experienced the gift of tongues this week! I think often when people think of the gift of tongues they think of being able to say a bunch of advanced stuff in a language they don’t know. I would say that is not really how it works... For me, it was the fact that when it came time to teach the lesson, I wasn’t nervous about speaking in a different language! In a normal situation it would be terrifying and I would forget everything that I had practiced but through God I was really able to speak clearly and understand pretty well. Such a blessing. It is still a lot of pressure but I know that as I do my part, God will make up for the rest. Um... it was a good week!

I don't know what else to say haha, I am loving still being in Vaasa and I am still learning everyday. I am excited to hear about Nate, the awkward return missionary. Take a lot of good video and pictures for me! :)

Talk to you next week, love yall!!!
