Enjoying the Sun

Sunny Day

Hey family!!

First off I apologize for the typing of this letter, I am at the temple using a Russian keyboard and I am still trying to figure out how the question mark works....  So I guess I will sound overly enthusiastic when I ask, how is everyone!! Korea sounds awesome, I cant promise my Finnish is as good as Nate's Korean but Finnish is the hardest language and I have 6 less months haha, still no excuse!  Oh ya and happy mothers day mom!! I can’t wait to Skype on Sunday. And just to repeat myself, here is the Skype info SUNDAY MAY 15 at 17.00 standard Finnish time (that is 8AM in Utah) using GOOGLE HANGOUT. See you then!! I can’t wait to see the house and talk to you all!

Birthday Party

It was a good week this week, the weather has been absolutely gorgeous for over a week now. The Finns still say that winter is going to come back but I am praying it stays this beautiful all summer. Or at least until I leave... but it has been really great talking to people outside and enjoying the sun. A miracle experience happened this week that I will share. We were given a name and address by our bishop who received it from the church website (meaning that someone sent his own information in and requested a copy of the book of Mormon). We were pretty excited and went to visit this person that night but he didn’t answer the door, so we tried again the next day. Well, someone answered the door but said he had never heard of the guy we were looking for, though we were positive that the address was correct! Anyway, I felt prompted to continue talking to him and he was super interested in our message and how we spoke Finnish, and he took a book of Mormon and we set up a time to meet with him to talk more. I have no idea if this other guy (the actual referral) even exists but it was a neat experience to see that the Lord places prepared people in our path, even if it is not the way that we expected it to happen. Transfer calls are this week and I cannot believe I will soon be the oldest sister in the mission.

Wow. I am so grateful to be here, learning about myself and how I can be happy, not stress, and just enjoy being in the service of our God! I love it :) well, I hope everyone has a great week! We will see you on Sunday!!! Be prepared with questions and things to update about yourselves. Can’t wait! Love you!!! :)
