Hey there family and friends! Thank you for all of the birthday wishes! Many have asked what my companion and I are going to do since my birthday is on P-day, and we have decided to do some baking so that we can all celebrate at district meeting together:)
This week was great, the Lord really helped us pick up the area and get it going! There are so many prepared people here, the hard part/fun part is trying to find out who they are and where they are:) We found two of them this week, well actually one of them found us. H stopped us on the street and told us that he had met with missionaries years ago and he wants to meet again. He came to church and is in contact with us quite often. He truly is one of a kind, I have never had another investigator like him, not in the slightest. the other investigator we got was a referral form the bishop. He told us too go and visit a less active family with an unbaptized 9 year old son. we went over and met with the and they are now coming back to activity and the son is investigating! The Lord is taking our efforts and multiplying them!
Some events of this week include being kicked out of a refugee camp. It sounds worse than it is. we had a referral there from some other missionaries in Helsinki so we went to follow up with him because we had permission from President Aura and right when we got there the big security guard said that we couldn't be there and since all we had was a name we couldn't do much.
Another thing was that President and Sister Aura called me for my birthday this morning and sang to me in Finnish so that was great!
We took the wrong bus about 20 times this week haha. We are both pretty new to the area so we aren't sure how to get around the area the most effectively yet and that includes us taking the wrong bus or train, but we are getting better. it is incredible how fast time goes by when you are so focused in the work because of how busy you are trying to get to know an area and the people in it.
That's basically all that we had this week, bouncing from one finding activity to another and talking to everyone in between! The work is going very well and we are enjoying our time:) Have a great week!
Love,
Vanhin Robison
P.s. Sorry that there are no pictures to send home this week, we haven't seen too many cool land features of picture opportunities.
