Well before I
get anywhere father on this letter I just got to say that......
I FINALLY SAW
THE NORTHERN LIGHTS!!!!!!!!!!!
basically my
life is complete! Yay it was seriously the best! Basically we were just leaving
the church and we were talking about the second coming and what we can do to
prepare, with this awesome member and Sisar Woods said '' the gospel is
just like Light''
''HEY WAIT IS
THAT THE NORTHERN LIGHTS?!?!?!'' sure enough it was the northern lights! super
cool!
Well this week
was another great week. My last fast and testimony meeting in Finland )= I at
first didn’t feel like baring my testimony but then Chuc our friend that just
got baptized asked, hey so are you going to say your testimony today? Then you
know the feeling that the spirit basically drags you up to the pulpit and no
matter how many billions of times you have testified on the pulpit it seems
just as nerve racking as if it was the first time. I basically balled like a
baby when I said how much I love my mission and Oulu. ya I'm basically a big
baby but, whatever I love these people soooo much. I literally think Oulu has
the most concentrated amount of amazing people in the world. hands down.
well last
Monday right after we had finished emailing we bike sprinted over to our
member's house to teach our investigator T. turns out the member (this bomb
awesome professional chef, made us this mint chocolate mousse cake.....it was
literally the best and T. was just literally eating it up, making all sorts of
funny noises while eating this delicious cake. Hahahaaa, turns out that is all
investigators need spiritual food and physical delicious cake! Anyways he had
been apprehensive to set a baptismal date the day before, but then we gave him
2 Nephi 31 about why Christ was baptized and why we should be baptized. We
asked him if he had an opportunity to read it, he said
sheepishly,´..........well yes and like um, kinda, basically, so like, hmmm,
well, what I think about baptism, welll, hmmmm, I actually prayed about it and
the answer was really surprising to me, I think I need to be baptized and the
church is true.
enough said.
hahahah, literally we were speechless, it was like the best moment of my life.
we asked him to pray about Joseph Smith specifically being a prophet and he was
like well ya I can pray about it, but I’m pretty sure I already know the answer
is yes. (= !!!!!!!
there you have
it folks. it really is that easy, read with real intent, come to church and
pray and the Lord will give you the straight up answer!
Another really
cool thing that happened this week was that we have a friend D. that basically
fell off the face of the earth. He is a doctor and was here studying for his
PhD. So basically our member found out that something was wrong with his
scholarship and he had to go back to Zambia, and she got back in contact with
him over email! thank goodness for technology, we turn out he just came back
last week, and he came to the church and we MET WITH HIM! and then he came to
church yesterday and stayed for Sunday school and wow! so great our recent convert A.
basically just testified like no other about the book of Mormon and how great
baptism is, and we set a baptismal date with him right on the spot! He was
like, wow, I guess I really need to read the book of Mormon everyday and pray
about it huh?!?
it was
incredible
well I'm out of time! I love you!
thought of the week, we talked about the second coming of Jesus Christ. the
moral of the story is, it doesn’t really matter when He really comes, what
matters is that we put it in our minds that He is coming next week and that we
live and prepare as if He is coming.
Take care,
SHARE THE GIFT!!

Check it out.
It will blow your mind and help discover, embrace, and share the gift this Christmas
holiday.
This week was
pretty much hectic and amazing. We threw together this Thanksgiving party,
started arranging it on Monday, Thursday tons of members can and brought all
their friends, all our investigators came and brought friends, our less active
that hasn’t been to church is years came. In total 17 non-members came. It was
amazing we made the pumpkin pie with the help of our chef friend, and the sweet
potato casserole (heaven....YUM!M!) the elders bought duck, turkey, and ham.
There was literally so much food it was the best thing ever. We started
it off with singing Kiitos Sulle Jumalani (Thank you, My God) I think it might
just be a Finnish song, it was so cool to be gathered together all different
cultures and faiths and come together to thank our Father for all the great
many blessings. It was just spectacular!
Then that night we jumped on a plane and
flew down to Helsinki, I had the most amazing conversation about the gospel
with this lady I was sitting next to!!! #loveplanecontacting
It was so
great to see our sisters in Espoo and the next day we had MLC, missionary
leadership council. So many great things are coming to Finland, we are trying
so hard to get 20 lessons a week to investigators, at least 10 contacts a day
and share HE is the gift this season, and giving away at least 2 books of Mormon
a day. A lot of high goals to raise our sights. This is His work, I’m so
excited to step it up and see the miracles come.
We went to the
temple that night. It will most likely be my last time, because when I go home
it will be closed due to New Years Eve. It was hands down the best session. I
just wanted to stay there for life. I LOVE THE TEMPLE! IM GOING THERE ONE DAY
(= okay already have but still Imma keep going every possibility that I have.
We came back,
had to take a train, and then a bus, about an 8-hour trip......yikes 5.3o wake
up....that hurt. but it always feels so great to be back in Oulu. This is my
home.
I just wanted
to share that from today although it was p-day and we really wanted to get some
stuff done we got a last minute phone call from our member asking if in 2 hours
we could go with her to a school presentation to talk about the church.... How
can you say no? we showed He is the Gift video and Because of Him. They just
loved it and all wanted to come to our Joulu party. those videos just
pulled the spirit in so strongly. At the end the class were basically jumping
at the opportunity to take a free book of Mormon it was fantastic. though we
lost a lot of P-day time, the Lord helped us reach our goals and share the
gospel also answer the call to serve. But honestly I feel so refreshed from
that, nothing like giving your day to the Lord for Him to give it back, better
then ever
I’m out of
time
I love you
all. He is the Christ. Share the gift
