February 21, 2017 ~ Week 70

Hey family and friends! This week was great! We are saddened to see the lose of our 3rd companion this week. He left on Monday to return home after completing his 2-year mission. Finland will sure miss the great Aussie as we already do. It was unusually quiet when we got home after taking him to the train station. It's amazing how another person really changes the whole dynamics of a companionship. But by the end of the night, we had settled back in and learned how to do missionary work with just 2 people again.

This week we got to witness a cool event that happens practically every day, but if we aren't careful we will miss it. Luckily I found this gem upon reviewing my day when writing in my journal later that day. It was a brisk night as our day was coming to an end. We stop a man along our way who is taking a smoke and we talk to him. He was very uninterested at first, but as we tried to make conversation with him the mood lightened and we were able to teach some restored truths in the process. With that, the spirit touched his heart and it was softened. We had a great conversation with him and at the end, he even was considering coming to church. It was great! It may seem like a super small thing, but it gives us the necessary motivation to find the next person who is a little more prepared!

The church is true! I love you all, have a great week!
