Wow
another week has come and gone! The work here in Lohja is picking right
up and moving right along! Many thanks to my new companion who is a
work horse! His name is Vanhin Näslund from Luleå Sweden! He is a great
servant of God and loves to just go out and do the work! I picked him up
Wednesday and we came back and jumped right into the work! Our first
contact was in Swedish, so talk about me feeling like I was in my first
transfer again! I just sat there as he preached the gospel and i gave
the occasional smile when the other guy looked at me!
We
have had a lot of success when it comes to finding people! We found a
couple people and one even came to church, which is a big step because our
church is 45 minutes away! the members just ate him right up and I'm
sure it was very whelming! he's probably never seen Finns so social before
haha! But teaching his is a blessing because he is so humble and looking
for peace in his life! I love when someone brings up hat they are
looking for in life and the gospel answers the need! Getting to promise
specific blessings and testify about things specific to peoples needs is
awesome!
Thanksgiving was great! It was so
great i forgot it happened on Thursday haha! So my usual big fancy meal
which i enjoyed at home has been traded for a good Hardy bowl of cereal,
but that's just for this year, because I will be home for next years
Thanksgiving feast. But just because I forgot it was Thanksgiving
doesn't mean that I wasn't thankful:) It was a great day where we
experienced a lot of things to be thankful for! An example is teaching
that one investigator about whom I've spoken.
Well,
time goes on, the work goes on! I love you and am very grateful for
this gospel in my life, the pure doctrine of Christ and a living
prophet! I am also thankful for all the prayers that are sent my way!
Have a great week!
Rakkaudella,
Vanhin Robison
