Hello everyone
back home! 10/11/16
Wow, what a great week! It's
been super crazy fun getting everything ready for the baptism. The baptism went
very well. He kept telling everyone he felt so light, and that he felt like
flying afterwards. He is an amazing person, I can tell that he is on his way to
even greater things.
We had splits with the
sister training leaders yesterday. So many miracles came about from it. The
first sister I was with, we went to tract in Leppävaara (I got lost on the way
there, haha). We got a return appointment with one person we talked with, and
gave a Book of Mormon out to another. The second part of the day after lunch, I
was with the other sister training leader. We had planned to tract in the area
we lived in, but realized that the other sisters had all the books to keep
track of what doors we knock on. So we decided to go to our area and find
former investigators. We got lost on the way there again, but Heavenly Father
had a plan for that. Once we got our bearings again, we started down a street,
talked to a man, gave him a Book of Mormon and set up an appointment, walked
about 5 feet, talked to a lady, gave her a book and set up an appointment.
Walked another five feet, talked to another man, gave him a book and set up an
appointment. We had multiple miracles happen within just a couple feet. This
pretty much never happens in Finland. People are hardly ever this willing to
learn about a new religion.
A street or two later,
we see this lady standing next to a tree, and she was doing something strange.
As we got closer to her, I leaned over to the sister I was with and asked,
"Sister, is she stomping on acorns?" She said, she sure is, let’s
talk to her!! So we stopped and talked to her and started stomping on acorns
and taught her almost the entire lesson about the Restoration of Jesus’ true
Gospel upon the earth. So cool!
The last part of the
day I was with the first sister again, and we went to a lady who was a self-referral,
meaning that she sent or called in a request to send missionaries to her. She
told us she is looking for the truth. She is so awesome, and she is definitely
so prepared and wants to keep taking the lessons. We're super excited to keep
teaching her.
It's been a great
week.
Unfortunately that's
all I have time for, but I love you all! Thanks so much for your support!
Rakkaudellani,
