Well, just when you think life can’t get
better you get hit with something even more AMAZING!!!! Amazinger.......that
should be a word if its not already!
So I have this amazing companion! Her name
is Sisar Woods. It was super sad to see my old comp Sisar Lund go. We literally
had 2 minutes to run her to the train before it left, but we have been doing
that this whole transfer so I guess we wouldn’t have it any other way.
Sisar Woods is from Oklahoma, she is a
little bit taller than me, sings like an angel and is basically amazing in
every way and pretty quirky!! I love it!! Its crazy how well we work together,
we kinda just do our own thing, but it works out, great together in planning,
working, teaching. It’s pretty nice!
So on Tuesday we picked Sis. Woods up from the train
station in the morning. She had been on the night train. Poor girl we had a
tons of appointments and a TON of biking, and she isn’t really used to biking
and she was sleep deprived. She’s a trooper! We didn’t even have time to sit
down and eat dinner. We literally ran to Prisma(food store) and shoved caesar
wraps into our mouths right before jumping on our bikes and death sprinting on
a digesting tummy to our next appointment.
You know what they say, working hard or
hardly working… right?!?
Surprisingly this week has been hyvin
mukava weather (pretty nice). Not too cold, by no means summer but hey… its Finland.
Great week of working! Our Vietnamese friends
C. and H. are AMAZING!!! Literally they have become my best friends and they
just have this spiritual clarity, they are willing to give up anything and everything
to feel the joy of the spirit. They basically taught us the word of wisdom and
committed themselves to live it and to get rid of any other things in their
lives that are distracting them from feeling the spirit. H. said she used to
spend too much time on Facebook and wanted to stop, so she replaced her Facebook
time with reading the Book of Mormon and feels this light that she has never
felt before and its helping her focus in on the important things! AHHH I wish
you all could meet them, they are just, well probably 2 of the most amazing
people I have ever met!
On Thursday night we jumped on a plane down to Helsinki
and there we had Missionary Leadership Training. But that night before it was
super fun, we all stay in Espoo and there we had a sleepover with the Sisters,
Sisar Nielsen my twinner, Sisar Bitner, Crandall, and Dixon. I was in the same
MTC district as Sisar Crandall and Nielsen and MAN!!! So much fun! They are
really just the greatest people in the world! I also don’t think I have laughed
that hard in a while! Also we were all in bed about to go to sleep when Sisar
Nielsen shouts, ''WE FORGOT TO PRAY TOGETHER!!!!'' So we all get out of our
beds, and kneel around the one bed and together say nightly prayers. So
amazing, the spirit, the power, the love. Moments like that I wish I could just
freeze and enjoy them a bit longer.
The next day we had the meeting. Wow, great
things are coming to Finland, mission tour, more organization so that all the
zones can be in the same page and training to become better teachers! And then
just a powerful lesson at the end on the Atonement. President Watson, explained
and expounded on the scriptures after Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit just
how much of a completely hopeless state we are all in, and yet our Father
carefully planned for it all, and through the Love and charity of our big
brother, Jesus Christ, we can be saved. We can start over and over again. There
is no ending with Him. So amazing and also he expounded on Jacob 4:14--------READ
IT!!!! How often do we look beyond the mark, when what we really need is
simplicity.
Then we all together went to the Temple,
Halloween night, when all the world is doing all sorts of crazy, who knows what
things. We all stepped out of the world for a few hours. It was amazing. We had
a little extra time in the beginning before the session started, and with Sisar
Watson, all us sisters went into the most amazing Bride Room. The spirit in
there was so amazing, we all just hugged and cried. We didn’t want that moment
to end. Man, one day I am getting married in the temple for time and all
eternity. I would sacrifice anything in the world to feel that spirit and to
make that promise with my Father and my future husband. (but this convo is for
a latter date.... ahhaaha)
Then the next day, well we took a night
train to get back to Oulu......gotta love those... and A. our friend from Sudan
who was imprisoned for a long time and finally bribed his way out just for being
a Christian, finally got baptized. IT WAS INCREDIBLE so many people came and
man, he was just GLOWING afterwards. When he bore his testimony, wow, words can’t
describe. He has been searching for this truth for 36 years and now he found it
and couldn't be happier.
C and H. also just loved it and after wards, President
and Sisar Watson came to the lesson with them and man, just incredible is the
only word to describe. They are so excited to learn and grasp more light. I
love them soooooo much!
I love you all,
Sisar Hübner
P.S. So it snowed super hard when we got
back and we have been biking on slush which is supper hard to do. Luckily I
haven’t biffed it yet! katsotaan!
Pic of all the sisters and I in front of
the temple afterwards. WE LOVE THE TEMPLE!
