Hello Family!
It is P-day AGAIN??? Seriously, the time
is crazy. Even with all the many weeks that have flown by, I still feel like I
will forever be in this "almost going home" state haha.
To start out, I will give you my few
song choices, let me know which one Derek thinks will be best (they are all
classic ones so just choose one and go for it:)): How Great Thou Art, Lead
Kindly Light, I know that My Redeemer Lives, Abide with Me Tis Ev`n Tide, I am
a Child of God. Among others, those are all very dear to me in Finnish!
Anyway, this week was really good,
Sister Nelson is helping me push hard to the end! We talked to great people,
stayed focused, and had a fun 4th of July with an American member and his
non-member family. I had root beer and stuffing for the first time in over 18
months :) God Bless America!
As missionaries in this ward we also
started up a weekly sports night intended to get more people to the church
together and have an activity that members can invite their friends to. It was
really fun, a successful first week! :) 
The weather is good, rainy with a high
of 70 degrees or so. I will probably die in Utah because 70 degrees feels
rather hot to me haha. I had a great time this week talking to Sister Nelson
about how much I love my mission and we often talk about how amazing it is to
be in Finland! I will sure miss this place, a big part of my heart is here. But
I feel good with still enjoying every last moment of being a missionary here
and i am excited for the great plans and future i have ahead of me! Life is
full of adventure:) I have come to know that everything God does for us is for us to have joy. Sure we have to go through trials and challenges, but we don’t have trials just to challenge us. We are given this life truly to become our best self’s and to recognize the great potential we can achieve through Christ. And to be happy. Only a few more of these emails! Have a great week, I love you all!! :)
