"voisimmeko halata?" 🫂

Unfortunately this week's email has gotta be short also SORRY for the lack of email last week! We've was running around like mad women haha BUT I have some miracles I want to share with all of yall! I can truly testify God is a God of miracles. 


🩵 Guys I've really been wanting to bear my testimony of Jesus Christ to someone recently. Since it feels like I don't get the opportunity on the street often. So I asked a couple I saw by the train station if they were religious, they were, I asked to bear my testimony of Jesus Christ, they said yes, so I bore my testimony! And then she looks at me (this middle aged Finnish lady) and asks me in Finnish (title) "Can I give you a hug?" And so yeah I hugged some random Finnish lady and she thanked me for sharing my testimony :) 

🩵 Went on a short "splits" were I was with my MTC companion Sister Luke! It was so fun to run it back with her, and we had a huge miracle where a guy basically reffered himself! From what I remember... he asked about our church, said he was interested to learn more, we got his number, and he disappeared on the metro train. AND then we met with him yesterday and he is just amazing and so ready for the gospel! (unfortunately he has a 3 week trip to Turkey...) 

🩵 Last week we had a goal to get 1 phone number a day and I'm not kidding when I say by the grace of Heavenly Father we reached our goal. It really strengthened my testimony that God can and will help us with our righteous goals! 

🩵 We have a super awesome funny friend who in all seriousness cannot come to our events or meet unless he receives an answer from God. I love him, he's the best haha 

◇ OTHER THINGS ◇

🩵 Winter is a comin the sun goes down at 6pm and rises at 8am (which I know isn't so bad but it's interesting when our "working" hours are 7am-8pm) SO WORTH IT and guys I won't lie I'm getting a little cold haha 

🩵 So Finnish is a tough language and I'm trying to decide I'm tougher but it depends on the day haha pray for me...

🩵 This is my companion's last transfer?! (Guys she goes back to the States in literally a week-) So yesterday we had her "funeral" and it was really funny because an Elder did a "hetki" or a short presentation about chapter 14 of Preach my Gospel (it's a made up chapter) about Flirting to Convert...oh man 

◇ HENGELLINEN SANOMA ◇
there's always time to spiritually uplift my favorite people

Doctrine and Covenants 58:3 
Ye cannot behold with your natural eyes, for the present time, the design of your God concerning those things which shall come hereafter, and the glory which shall follow after much tribulation.

If I'm being completely honestly this week was a really hard one for me. Someone that was very dear to me is no longer in my life. To say that's been hard is a huge understatement. BUT despite how terrible that feels and has been feeling, I can say for certain I know things work out the way they are supposed to, in fact the very BEST way they can work out when we love God! It's not easy. That's not what I'm saying haha. I'm saying, put our trust in your loving Father, He has a bigger plan for you. And your Savior, Jesus Christ, He is where real healing is found. He makes us whole, gives us hope when things are truly feeling hopeless. It's real. He loves you, you are His precious family member. 

I love yall, keep me updated :)

Kaikki järjestyy,
Sisar Dickson

 HAUKKUMINEN  It was super funny we got an airfryer at mission tour, our mission is in the process of getting them out to all the missionaries! They're super handy for making food fast which is such a blessing as a busy missionary BUT what was funny is that we had to carry this huge airfryer box all the way back home on public transport and stuff and someone said "(the title of this email) =Congratulations on the Airfryer!" It made me giggle.  PÄIVITYKSET  🔥 Mission Tour! aka the area president and his wife spoke with half of the missionaries in the mission and it was SO powerful. I had gone into "mission tour" wanting to know that the Lord was aware of me and the very first talk given by our lovely sister mission president (the wife of our mission president, she loves to say there is two mission presidents including herself haha I love her) talked about something I have been struggling with for a long time now. Soooo in case anyone was wondering...God is aware...

Hiya everyone, this is my mom. (trainer)  Her name is Sister Wynn, she's going home this week and I am going to miss her so much. She has been such an example to me, from day 1, of Christlike love and charity. I love you Wynn!  But in other news, transfers are in a week. A WEEK! I swear the transfers just feel faster and faster and before I know it I'm going to be back home-so wild to think about.  Yay for Finnish boxing-day and celebrating Christmas for 3 days! We have so many lovely members who are gonna take us in during the holiday, AND my comp and I did some fun christmas things for each other too. We also had a Christmas Conference and I got to sing some songs! (serious shoutout to Aimee and being my inspiration to sing My Grown Up Christmas List)  But with it being Christmas time I think it appropriate to share a special spiritual thought focusing on the greatest gift of them all: Our dear savior and friend, Jesus Christ.  This Child divine...
