Hello family and friends! Happy 4th of July! I hope that you all have a great day and enjoy the freedoms of the country to which we belong!󾓦
We had a change in mission Presidents this week. After 3 years of extremely dedicated service and devotion President and Sister Watson have returned home and President and Sister Aura have come in their stead. We will get to see them tomorrow at a zone conference that will lst 2 hours for the purpose of meeting President and Sister Aura.
This week we had a lot of great things happen! We would have ended that week with 6 new investigators found, but not all were willing or able to set up a return appointment so we settled with just one. It was kind of a let down but from this we can see that Heavenly father is preparing his children to receive the gospel, we just need to work a little harder. We also had a strong start to this week finding a very promising investigator who has a wife and kids that are interested a well. My dream of teaching a family is about to come true! The husband is from Africa and the wife is a Finn so we teach them in Finnish too!
We had two exchanges this week, it was a crazy busy week! Lets just say that we are blessed to be able to serve with these missionaries here in Finland, we have gotten some of the best, most dedicated missionaries! It is true they come from all walks of life but it is awesome to see that when you start to get to know some one when you get to know their story you love for them instantly grows. It is amazing what understanding does!
This week I got to see a sad sight, a poor young woman who has had her life over taken by drugs and alcohol and at that moment being escorted by her boyfriend who was also caught up in the same life style, but he was more sober than she was. We met them on exchanges as we were coming home. They were on the sidewalk in front of us making their way home and she collapsed passing out. We rush over to go and help out, but we couldn't really do much. We probably should have called an ambulance for them they were in that bad of shape. However seeing them just made me so happy for the principles of the gospel and gave me a desire to share it more with others. i would have taught them right there an then but they were not in a state to hear and act on it seeing as they couldn't even act for themselves at the moment.
Anyways have a great week!
Love,
