Hello hello my family and friends! This week has been splendid! The rain
has come which only makes this place more green and more beautiful!
Elder Martin and I learned by experience that umbrellas are a must to
carry around in the fall/late summer in Finland!
We have been doing
a lot of promoting for our branches family history party coming up on
September 10! It has been stressful as it is our (the missionaries) idea
so we are in charge of it all, and very very few members here know
English so we have been challenged with our stretching vocabulary.
Finnish is a very rewarding but very frustration language! But I won't
go into that, you study it yourself and see what I mean by that.
We
have meet some really awesome people this week! In fact anyone who
stops to listen to what we have to say is an awesome person! People are
so busy in life, but those who will take the time to stop and listen are
just super awesome! We spent a lot of time on the streets finding and
following up with people! The super cool part about out here, especially
in a more isolated city its that within 10-20 minutes in either
direction you are either at the sea, or in the dense beautiful Finnish
forest! We experienced that last night as we tried to follow up with
some one and got a little lost on the way. Luckily we found our way
back, but next time I will leave the orienteering to my companion. I'm
sure he got that merit badge.
We also had an American couple
move into our ward this week which is super awesome! The husband is here
playing Volleyball for the Kokkola Tigers! He just graduated from BYU
this year and is here to play professionally for a year and then they
will head back. But wow they are pretty awesome and the branch here just
ate them right up! They got so many DA's haha!
Also a side
note, hats off to any translators out there. I got to translate for the
husband in priesthood and that is some tough tough work. So good work to
all of those translators!
That's all for this week! The Lord continues to bless us as we keep his commandments and do our best! Have a great week!
Love,
Vanhin Robison
