Hello!
Lahti is so beautiful! Have you traveled it on google maps yet?
This last week, as I said before, we've had our mini missionary and just dropped her off at the train station yesterday morning. We had a couple interestingly fun experiences with her, but it ended up feeling like we were babysitting because she had really different expectations and complained a lot. But it's okay, we both learned patience from her and I definitely got a chance to come out of my shell a little bit by not being the youngest anymore. That's definitely one of my weaknesses, when I feel younger or more inferior, I shrink into my shell. I'm working on getting out of that habit.
We don't really have any progressing investigators at this point except this one Brazilian lady we started working with. She's a little more interested in learning English and Finnish than about the gospel, but she could also learn it elsewhere, so we're glad to help! She used to be the elders "investigator", but they decided to hand her off to us, so we've been teaching her in the church building by reading out of the scriptures in Finnish and helping her translate. She seems a little more responsive to the gospel learning from sisters. The Elders told us every time they brought up the gospel, she'd start saying she needed to go and such. We are praying for her! Please join us.
Yesterday we went to a members house in Orimattila for dinner. Orimattila is about an hour bus ride from Lahti, and it's a beautiful drive. But since our ward list isn't entirely updated yet, we didn't know that her address had changed, so we ended up going to the wrong place. It took us about an hour to find her new place, and since she's a little bit older, she wasn't too helpful in helping us find her place, so I had to get the map out and try and find the street she told us, and get us there. It was quite the fun experience.
Anyway, sorry this letter is a little shorter.
Love you all! Rakastan teitä!
