here I am; send me

-

Warm regards to all of you out there whom is reading my email juuri nyt (right this second) unfortunately I find myself with like zero time to write so...SPEED RUN

ZONE CONFERENCE 
-we got to present our theme to the eastern area of missionaries here in finland of HERE I AM; SEND ME and I was able to talk about how love should be our greatest motivator in the work. Jesus Christ's Atonement, the greatest act in history was motivated out of His love for us. Everything our Father in Heaven does is out of His love for us, His children. So if we want to do missionary work in a way that truly changes us we need to do it out of love! This is His work and doing missionary work out of love for God and love for His precious children is how we can do the work in His way!

SPLITS 
-me and sister lambert had such a great day together. We talked to so many cool people and I was able to testify to a guy on the street that although God can appear silent He hasn't left us alone! As evidenced by the scriptures and a living prophet all guiding us on how we can come closer to Him. ALSO random lady just started yapping to us and told us we were wonderful girls. She was such a cutie grandma. 

ROADTRIP 
-We went to a town about 2 hours away by car and it was an amazing experience! We spent the day with our swag young Vietnamese member as we visited members there AND other than having an ihan American barbacue (shoutout the dad being American) we were able to teach our amazing friend, she has so much faith. She loves the Book of Mormon-when we asked her about baptism she expressed her desire to gain a testimony and work to baptism, because she would really love to be baptized into our church that has the Book of Mormon:) 

SPIRITUAL THOUGHT
Alma 7:23 
"And now I would that ye should be humble, and be submissive and gentle; easy to be entreated; full of paitence and long-suffering; being temperate in all things; being diligent keeping the commandments of God at all times; asking for whatsoever things ye stand in need, both spiritual and temporal; always returning thanks unto God for whatsoever things ye do recieve." 

I have a bad habit of being REALLY hard on myself. And I was able to realize this week, that God has so much love for me and these traits listed above give me so much hope for things I can look forward to and work on. God is always encouraging us, He will always help us remember we are loved children, that doesn't change even though we have so much to work on and a long road ahead. He cheers on every desire and loves seeing the efforts we make. God loves you, remember that as you continue working on the person you want to be. Christ makes repentance possible, what an amazing gift. You can be changed. You can have these traits, one action-decision at a time. Fall in love with the process of becoming like Christ and let Them shape you! 

PS
-sat out on the balcony today and soaked up lots of sun-I AM A HAPPY GIRL

Kaikki järjestyy

"Onneksi olkoon Airfryer!" 💯

 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...
