| Welcome Sister Nelson |
Well, no niin!
It has been a crazy busy week but all super exciting. Being a trainer this time
seems different than the first time for some reason but let me just tell you, I
am exhausted! But in the best of ways haha.
I was able to spend some time with the missionaries who just went home which was fun, and now I am the oldest! And then I got my new greenie, Sister Nelson! She is from Las Vegas and I keep on forgetting that she is new because of how awesome she is. She is so willing to participate and humbly learns and asks questions as well. It is going to be a blast of a transfer, I can already tell.
We saw many miracles this week- as we were knocking on doors in an apartment building, we both felt the need to knock on a particular door and Finnish woman answered and invited us in her house (which has literally happened on my mission maybe 4 times- miracles of having a trainee!) and she is pretty golden. She has such a strong belief in God and we started talking as if she were a missionary! She said when she holds the Book of Mormon she can feel the power that is has and she told us that we were most definitely led by God to come to her house because everything that we told her was exactly what she needed to hear. She also loves when we (especially Sister Nelson) speak Finnish because she is just so impressed. And she gave us cheddar cheese because we are American! Haha I don’t even like cheddar cheese but the thought was simply touching.
I am grateful for the guidance of the Spirit because I know that without it we would not know where we need to go or what we need to say! But with the Spirit I can have comfort and confidence in knowing that as long as I am obedient and working hard, then I don’t need to know everything because it will be given to me.
Well, all is well here in Finland, it has warmed up again to feel like summer! So beautiful! And I got my first mosquito bite... yikes! My body is so allergic to those little things here... Anyway, I hope you all have a great week!! Love you!!!! :)
