Hello! What a beautiful fall day here in Finland! The sun is out!! The
sad thing about fall is that means winter is coming! At the beginning of
my time with Elder Martin we could go the whole day and the sun would
be up when we woke up and when we went to bed. But now the sun is just
rising as we wake and is down well before we are inside at night:( But
it makes me grateful for days like these! Opposition in all things
haha.
This week was awesome as we have grown close to the Lord as
He draws closer to us! Yesterday we had Zone Training in Oulu and I
absolutely enjoyed it! We talked a lot about using the scriptures when
we teach and the impact they can have. As well as teaching our
investigators the pattern of receiving personal revelation and finding
answers to their questions. I was truly enlightened and grateful to be
apart of that training session!
Also since I have hit my year
mark of being on my mission I now have a year of journal entries. I
have started to go back and read my previous entries on the
corresponding day to exactly a year ago. For example on 9.9.16 I read
the journal entry on 9.9.15 (my first day at the MTC) and have continued
that. It is really funny to see my poor sense of humor which I still
find funny occasionally. But the coolest part is seeing the changes that
have happened. I had questions in the MTC and I have found answers to
them throughout time on my mission! Such a great testament to writing in
a journal daily and recording events of the day and lessons learned.
The
work is going really well here! Our area before I came has been noted
as a hard area to serve in because it's pretty small and not much
happens here but my companion an I have found a lot of success but I
don't know what we do differently, we just try our best. We are blessed
with many people to follow up with and teach as well as places to go and
be productive outside, although every time I look at the area map, it
just gets smaller and smaller.
But life is great here! I love
these people and I love my mission! A cool principle I leanred is that
we show our love to God by keeping his commandments (John 14:15), and we
show our love for the Work by how hard we work is this great work.
Simple concept I'm sure you all figured out before me, but true
nonetheless! Have a great week!
Rakkaudella,
Vanhin Robison
