Hey Family!!
Thanks for the emails!! :) So, since I
am emailing on Tuesday you can all guess. I didn’t get transferred! I will be
here in this Helsinki area for 2 more months to continue training Sister Jones.
I have never not had anything change for transfers so it has been interesting
but I am soooo excited to stay with Sister Jones and really build this area up
together! The work here is already going so much
better than when I first arrived.
Winter has hit hard and I have NEVER
experienced more cold in my entire life. And we are in the warmest part
Finland! THANK YOU NATE FOR THE KOREA SWEATS. They have because my
entire life and the only reason I stay warm during my studies. I wear them
under my skirt every morning with thick socks and a blanket so I can stay warm. Luckily it was only Thursday that was
really cold (-13 degrees Fahrenheit) but let me tell you, I was thinking up of
every excuse to not go outside. It was cold, like, bitter cold. After 4 pairs
of tights, 3 pairs of socks, 4 layers under my big winter coat, snow gloves
over a pair of thin gloves, a hat and boots I was ready to go outside just to
NOT FREEZE. That day was probably one of the most prominent times on my mission
that I have felt the strength of the Atonement literally pulling me. I used
every ounce of my energy to do work that day! But I could never have done it by
myself, not even close. So, strength through prayer is real! WE can do anything
with our loving Heavenly Father.
Besides that it has been snowing for a few days,
I will send some pictures :) and I got the family Christmas card this week and
y’all are some good lookin’ people! So it was a great week overall, it is crazy
to think that I only have 3 more transfers left! Six months in Vaasa, 6 months in
Helsinki and I guess soon enough we will figure out where I head off to next.
I
can't think of much else to say, I love this mission and am so grateful to be
here! Life is good and cold :) I LOVE YOU ALL!!! :)
