God Loves Us and Wants Us Back With Him

Perhe!

Well, it was a fun week, all of it pretty much spent inside in the training program meetings and on the holiday but SO MUCH was learned. Once again I feel that a big part of me training was for the purpose of being at Interim with President Watson and the other missionaries so I could really gather and learn what I need to do these last weeks. And Sister Nelson is on fire, her greenie spirit gives me so much strength and she has such an amazing desire to improve! Wow, I am amazed by the grace God gives me in every aspect of my life.

We were able to go to the temple this week, eat WAY too much food (totally worth it) and share in many wonderful testimony-strengthening discussions.

I love the beauty of this gospel and how simple it is. We focused a lot on charity and amongst talking about the Atonement, the gospel, the Book of Mormon, Joseph Smith story, patience, planning, temple, and many more discussions, the source was all the same: Our Heavenly Father loves us and He wants us back. That is the purpose for everything. The purpose for learning, the purpose for serving. He loves us so perfectly and has made a plan so complete so that every person has the best possible opportunity to live with Him again. I am so grateful for this knowledge. What else is more important to know?

Juhannuspäivä went well, we deep clean our apartment and it has made the biggest difference for the Spirit in our home! I never knew that applied so much to missionaries haha, our apartments are usually a mess but it was actually quite fun to clean things out. Besides that we are looking forward to some packed weeks of great lessons and hard work! As far as songs to sing for the homecoming, can i think about that and give you a sure answer next week? I have a couple in mind of my favorites in Finnish but i want to make it the best :) I don’t know what other missionaries are coming to my homecoming, I only have 3 companions that are home now and one of them lives in Germany haha. But because it would be hard to coordinate, were we thinking of having the whole family or the trio (me, megan and rach) sing? I am excited for how it will turn out!


I am so grateful to be here and see the miracles we are able to see every day! I hope i answered all the questions i needed to... I love you all!!! :)
