Hello my dear friends and family! Isn't it just a great day to be alive!
I wake up everyday (at what seems too early) and marvel that I am in
the beautiful North of Finland doing the most important thing that I can
be doing! It's amazing at the joy that can be brought when focus on the
present! I have found that looking forward and backward is not bad, as
long as we are focused in the present. The more I focus in the work, the
happier I am. The more I ponder about life before the mission, the more
longing I have to go back, and the more I think about life after the
mission the more trunky I become. The present is where we are and at
least for me focusing on that brings me happiness and a focus. But I
don't write home to give lectures on what I've learned or my doctrine,
rather I write to inform you all of what the Lord is doing in this part
of his vineyard and to strengthen your testimony in Him.
This week
was awesome! it was a little slower this week numbers wise but we did
just as much work as the week before! We had a lot of fun trudging
through awesome storms and also basking in the warm rays of the sun. We
have had great success as we rely on the Lord. There have been many
times in lessons where my companion and I just can't say what we want to
say or understand what is being said to us, but amongst all of that,
the spirit is there and because of that, lives are touched. I always
thought that i needed to be a master teacher and master in the language
to find success in missionary, but that is not the case! The Lord calls
upon the weak things of the earth to thrash the nations, or the
scripture goes something like that. Anyways, we are definitely the weak
things, being humbled in many situations but then again strengthened
shortly there after!
The Lord is truly guiding this work and
he does it by the spirit! It is an incredible thing to ponder and think
about, the impact that the spirit can have on a soul. I love the Lord,
and i love this work! I have seen so many great blessings and been apart
of so many cool experiences because of serving a mission, doing things
and meeting people that i never would have done/met any other way. This
is the only true and living church upon the face of the earth, and
Christ is at it's head.
I hope you all have a great week! Sorry I get so preachy... I still love you!:)
