Hey, All!
This week has been pretty great
in my new area
! Sister Nelson and I have been getting to know each other, and I've been doing my best to keep up with her. She's quite the hard worker. This zone is also very obedient. Like, exactly obedient
!
I'm grateful for it, but
i
t'
s a bit of an adjustment, because it can be hard to start and end
everything
exactly on time
.
W
e have to sit next to each othe
r on the train/bus,
instead of mingling with the people, so
it's been an adventure.
Haaga is beautiful. It's a little more city-like than Lahti was, but it's still quite beautiful. When we look out our window, it's like we're living in the sacred grove, we live on the main level so it feels like we aren't even living in an apartment.
T
he colors are changing, so it's very beautiful!
We have a baptism that was already set when I got here for October the 8th. We're super excited for Anthony, he's so faithful and ready. We've also been teaching some other really awesome people, and
have even
had some referrals!
It's s
o great! A lot more people speak
E
nglish down here because we have a lot of foreigners here for schooling, so we get to teach both in
E
nglish and
F
innish.
Sorry I can't really give a ton of details because of the laws here in Finland we can only do so if we have direct permission from the person themselves. But I've got it all written down in my journal at least. :)
Sunday night I started coming down with a little cold. I'm getting better now, but it's been a little tiring,
because
I can't sleep it off
all day
, I just have to take my vitamins and keep doing missionary work. I
do
have about a half hour to
nap
during meal times, so that helps a little bit.
We get to email in the family history center here at our church building. We have the stake center here, so it's nice.
We're excited for
G
eneral
C
onference here! Our schedule is very different if we want to watch it live. Since we're 9 hours ahead, we have to wait until evening to watch the
S
aturday morning session, then
S
unday afternoon we watch the
S
aturday evening, and then
S
unday evening we watch
S
unday morning. After that, we just have to wait for the
L
iahona magazines to come out before we can read the
S
unday afternoon session,
because
we don't have any other time to come here and just watch the last session unfortunately. But either way, we're still pretty excited.
Anyway, until next week.
Love you all!!!
