"The Frozen Chosen"--Elder Oaks referring to the Finnish Missionaries
June 30, 2016
Hey all! Not much has happened this week. Except Sunday because they had us out of the cafeteria, they sent us on a little walk to the morris building on BYU campus to eat at the little cafeteria there. On our way over, we were about to cross the little road exiting the MTC campus, and the cross guard asked us to wait even though there weren't any cars. About a minute later, Quentin L. Cook and his wife drive by and waves at all of us. He wasn't wearing a suit coat, so that was a different side of him we haven't normally seen. Haha. Then on the way back, as we're about to go onto campus, the cross guard stops us at the gate and has us wait. Dallin H. Oaks then walks out of the main entrance and over to his car. He drives a Lexus by the way. I don't remember what Elder Cook drives. Sorry. Our branch president had been carrying a banana that he didn't end up eating at lunch on campus, and he was just a little ways behind us, but caught up to us as we were waiting at the gate. He comes up to us and asks if there's something wrong with the gate. When he figures out the gate is okay and we're waiting for Dallin H. Oaks, he says 'Can I show him my banana?' and he holds up the banana he had been carrying. It was a pretty funny moment.

Sunday night, our choir got to sing all three songs at the devotional again, and it really brought the spirit. The main speaker had to get up en between songs and say something to the missionaries.
This was also our last Sunday with the Danish missionaries. They got to the MTC on the same day as we did, but they only had to stay for 6 weeks. We all became really good friends, so this was our last temple walk together..
Sister Wilson's mom has a calling in the young womens in her ward. So they made finnish flag superhero capes and masks for all of us, and we wore them around our zone and had a fun laugh. It was also a pretty long day, so we needed some relief. Haha.

So since Monday was the day Joseph Smith was martyred, we chose to sing Joseph Smith's first prayer in Sacrament meeting with the Danish sisters, which my small choir also sang for the seminar. It was a really cool experience, so here we are singing it later that day.
Anyway, it's been a good week even though not much has happened. Hopefully I'll have more to write home about next week. Love you all!
