I jus wanna let you know, I'm proud 🧖‍♀️

Moi!

Well for starters...I MADE IT TO FINLAND!! My trainer is the absolute best and I feel so so lucky, her name is Sisar Wynn :) And I'm in a town called Rauma!! Its very beautiful, especially Vanha (old) Rauma-basically very cute and European

Per usual I'll get into some updates, spiritual thought, and some fun shoutouts haha

I hope everyone is doing well, I'm praying for yall and as always I'd love some emails sent my way... (I might not always have the time to respond-but I do read them !!)

Also I miss my district/branch MTC peoples SO BAD RAHHHH so just know I pray for yall daily 🙏

Updates:

🤍 Our friend L wants to be baptized THIS FRIDAY !! She has such strong faith and we're meeting with her everyday to make her baptism possible. It's sometimes a little hard to understand each other, because she's from Romania and doesn't speak the best English BUT we always feel the spirit so strong when we meet with her

🤍 First Sunday in Finland !! So cool to talk the members and I even bore my testimony and afterwards someone came up to me and said "Your Finnish is great you are so talented and a master" At least I think so cuz it was in Finnish...

🤍 Service at P's beautiful mökki (summer cottage) We raked some leaves and had some makkara (sausage) and talked with him. But oh my goodness his backyard was so gorgeous and unreal looking

🤍 Members house after church :) We had some very yummy food (salmon, potatoes, sourdough bread Sisar Wynn made etc) then Elder Török taught us a Hungarian dance per request haha and I tried to play an accordion uhm also played some fun games BASICALLY just a super awesome time

🤍 District Council ! We have a goal of 13 baptismal interviews this transfer ! (A transfer is like 9 weeks)

🤍 Went tracting?! So we knocked on doors in an apartment building and found someone who already had a BOM? He wasn't interested BUT maybe in the future?

Spiritual Thought:

Helaman 3:27-28 🇫🇮

27 Näin me voimme nähdä, että Herra on armollinen kaikille, jotka vilpittömin sydämin huutavat avuksi hänen pyhää nimeään.

28 Niin, näin me näemme, että taivaan portti on avoinna kaikille, nimittäin niille, jotka uskovat Jeesuksen Kristuksen, joka on Jumalan Poika, nimeen.

Helaman 3:27-28 🇺🇲

27 Thus we may see that the Lord is merciful unto all who will, in the sincerity of their hearts, call upon his holy name.

28 Yea, thus we see that the gate of heaven is open unto all, even to those who will believe on the name of Jesus Christ, who is the Son of God.

I love this verse because it's true! The gate of heaven is open to all! Everyone on this Earth is a child of God and He wants us all to return, that's why He sent His son. Let's make heaven crowded 💗 Who can you invite to come to know Christ? I would also invite yall to pray more sincerely expecting God to do miracles in your life. I know God is aware of you! He loves you more than you know and Jesus Christ died for you! You will live again, and you can be just a little better each day.
