Sisar in a Suomi Sauna

SORRY I didn't write an email last week... quite honestly all of my time on pday has been given to writing BYU application essays- WOOHOO! (TITLE EXPLAINATION) Also guys- I hit my 9 months aka I'M A MIDDLE AGED MISSIONARY! WHAT? I honestly can't believe it. It feels like I've been here either a month or my whole life-  🇫🇮 HENGELLINEN SANOMA  🇺🇲 spiritual thought  Mosiah 16:9  He is the light and the life of the world; yea, a light that is endless, that can never be darkened; yea, and also a life which is endless, that there can be no more death. (For added context: the sun rises at 9am and sets around 3pm...it's dark a lot) I love how this verse describes Jesus as a light "that can never be darkened". Aren't there so many dark times in life? Or maybe just somewhat dim, as your eternal vision is limited: when a family member dies, your job application is declined...life isn't free of dark times. BUT there is always light. There are times you don...

Unfortunately I don't have time to write a full email this week BUT I always have time for yall so let me share a couple things  ☀️ We actually have so many interested people we're working with which has been so exciting!  ☀️ (TITLE EXPLANATION) We went to the university to see if we could find some more interested people, and stopped a girl who tells us "the title" and does a heart with her hands...it was somewhat sweet?  ☀️ Once a week we go to a sweet older  Finnish member lady's house to chat, listen to her explain old pictures (sometimes of her "forever friends" aww) and share a spiritual thought. Well, this week my comp had the idea that I sing while she played the ukulele so we did just that! And this lady seemed so touched by it, and I was grateful for the opportunity to share a God-given talent to well bless one of His sweet children!  ☀️ We had a lesson all set up and a member with us too, but it ended up falling through...BUT guys it was so am...

🇫🇮HÖLÄYTTÄÄ  🇺🇲(closest thing I found to yapping)  Welcome back welcome back! First off, I'll explain the title because I know how it can be looking at them foreign words but basically this literally means my thoughts went into the forest BUT it's also a way to say "I lost my train of thought" and I thought that was really goofy. But Finland does have a lot of forest areas so maybe it makes sense... 🇫🇮HENGELLINEN SANOMA 🇺🇲spiritual message  1 Peter 1:3  "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead," Well it's about that time in Finland where it's dark, rainy, cold, etc actually they call November "Marraskuu" or dead month...WHICH is why, when I found this verse, I took it as such a gem. I am so grateful for a reason to have "lively hope" that can only be found in Jesus Christ. And it...
