BEWARE OF SAUNA AIKA 📢

- July 08, 2025

HAUKKUMINEN 👑

Today I thought I'd share some cool Finnish song lyrics with ya ! (Because I yap like a mad woman the rest of this email)

🇫🇮 mun kyyneleet

niin pitkään vuotaneet

tänään ne saa

mut vaan kimaltamaan

🇺🇸 my tears

leaked for so long

today they will be recieved

but just to sparkle

Check out Timanttei (Diamonds) by Mirella🙌

PÄIVITYKSET

💙 Interviews with the Lehtinens!! I love them I love them and I even made them some bread !

🤍 Visited a 91 year old member! And she's moving to Rauma soon! I hope I'll get to see her a lot more, she is a super sweet lady

💙 LOTS of finding again this week, tracting and social media mostly. And we've had some success! Yesterdy, I was able to simply testify at a lady's door and just tell her God and Jesus love her :)

🤍 I can't remember if I've brought these up in the past, but my mission does something called a V-Book that you get to take home. Basically all your companions you have are in charge of this book and they scrapbook your memories and times together in their transfer with you! (Just a fun thing I thought I'd tell yall about)

💙 Exciting news with our friend who we think we'll invite to be baptized! His wife came to a different event we host at the church and so we asked if his whole family (him, his wife, and their two kids) would like to join in on our lessons and HE SAID YES!

🤍 CURTAINS. You guys, this was such a tender mercy to me this week. It's been so hard to sleep because it stays bright most the night and we had NO blackout curtains to save us. BUT some absolutely wonderful members came and saved the day and put up the the rods and curtains and everything!! SISTER DICKSON CAN SLEEP LETS GOOOO

💙 Also during tracting we met a very nice Finnish family who just happened to be leave their house when we were about to knock on their door. Had a really nice conversation, and hoping for lessons with them in the future !!

HENGELLINEN HETKI 🙏

🇫🇮 Alma 7: 11 Ja hän kulkee kärsien kaikenlaisia kipuja ja ahdinkoja ja koetuksia, ja tämä, jotta toteutuisi sana, joka sanoo hänen ottavan päällensä kansansa kivut ja sairaudet.

15 Niin, minä sanon teille: Tulkaa älkääkä pelätkö, ja hylätkää jokainen synti,oka helposti kietoutuu teihin

🇺🇸 Alma 7:11 And he shall go forth, suffering pains and afflictions and temptations of every kind; and this that the word might be fulfilled which saith he will take upon him the pains and the sicknesses of his people.

15 Yea, I say unto you come and fear not, and lay aside every sin, which easily doth beset you...

As a missionary it's my job to give lots of invitations. I invite people to make changes to their life and come to know their Savior. So its not too surprising that I've been noticing more and more all the invitations we are given in the scriptures, which offer the same blessing. Increasing our faith, love, trust in our Savior. He can have a real influence in our life if we invite Him! Study His words, actions, simply take a moment in your day to think of Him. What is one thing you can do in your day to be like Jesus? Who can you show a little bit more love to today? Jesus has infinite love for you, how can you show your love for Him? Also, choosing Jesus isn't a one time thing. We need to choose Him each day :)

SIVUTEHTÄVÄT

🧶 I MADE A HACKY SACK and it was SO fun because we were hacky sacking it up with some very unexpectedly talented members

🧴SHOUTOUT VANHIN WHITE FOR MAKING MY WHOLE YEAR- this guy is a legend. He gave me a big bottle of my favorite sauna scent just out of the kindness of his heart KIITOS PALJON

🥚 2 trips to the store because we forgot eggs for ALL our things we be making as we're starving and just wanna eat dinner-

🩲 (as the title said:) BEWARE OF SAUNA AIKA- Let's just say, recently we've noticed people are probably in their "sauna time" when we are tracting because we've ran into more indecent people than would make sense otherwise...

⛈️ Heavy rain and some thunder WHICH I MISSED (Didn't think that's something I would miss honestly)

🦅 To celebrate 4th of July (RAAHHHH MERICA) we were eating some homemade key lime pie and dancing to Footloose whennnn a member walked in-it was really funny though because she says something like "y'all are having a party!" Very lightheartly and kinda laughing (still mega awkward tho)

💸 Thats my money because today I bought the iconic Finnish sister missionary Marimekko (Finnish gucci) dress- basically most sisters here will buy one during their time on the mission aaaand I found one that wasn't too badly priced and I'll wear it a lot so YAY EUROPE IS EXPENSIVE AND MY WALLET HATES TO SEE ME COMING pray for my shopping addiction (just kidding it's really not that bad)

SORRY THIS EMAIL IS FOREVER LONG ! I love all of you so much, email me if you are in need of extra prayers 💗 or you got questions or updates of your own !

Kaikki hyvin,

Sisar Dickson
