the greatest gift 💝

-

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 

Is now a King.

The gift of life to all the world

He brings;

And all mankind 

He saves from doom,

But on the night for Him there was 

No room.


Will you come tonight?

Will you seek the light?

Do you have room?


This is one of my favorite Christmas songs, "Do You Have Room" by Shawna Edwards. She asks this question many times, "Do YOU have room for the Savior? Do YOU have room for the one who lived and died for you?" You know, I've started realizing more and more as I study the life of Jesus. We are His greatest gift. Why else would He have chosen to suffer, for the sole reason of knowing our pains. He wanted to be able to have perfect empathy when we are in our darkest places. He wanted to know how to perfectly comfort his beloved family member. He did that for you. He came humbly, He was the only one who could have saved us. And His perfect love for you, motivated it all. What room can you leave for Jesus this Christmas? Who can you show more love to? What gratitude can you add to your prayers to Heavenly Father? They love you more than anything, and they want you to come back to them. Remember you are part of a never-ending, perfectly loving, eternal family who is always looking out for you! 


Hyvää Joulua! (Merry Christmas!) 🎄

Sanoo,

 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...
