Terve, rakkat sukua ja ystäviä!
This week was wonderful!
We were able to go to Return and Report, which was a three day long meeting at the mission home with half of my MTC group. We were able to talk a lot about our experiences these past weeks here in Finland and hear from President and Sister Aura how we can be better missionaries here in Finland and overall.
We were able to attend the temple in Espoo as well! It was a wonderful experience and I've missed going through the temple so much.
This week we had two wonderful lessons with less actives! One actually came to church with us, and I got to sit by him and talk to him while my companion was on the stand for a talk. I loved it!
In one lesson with an investigator our discussion wasn't really going anywhere, but then he turned to me and told me to share a scripture out of the Book of Mormon. I shared Ether 4:18, which is Christ telling us what we need to do in order to come back to him. I didn't know the reference, I just prayed really hard in that moment that I would share something that would help him, and it sparked him to ask what he could do to return to Christ! We actually had a very nice lesson after that, and I'm so grateful for the Spirit's involvement in that.
Also, in a lesson with a different investigator, near the end I felt the Spirit in my so strongly that my cheeks started burning and I was shaking, so when it came my turn to testify at the end I felt the Spirit testify to him through me, and it was a really really cool experience. Teaching with power and authority is the best way, and we need to make sure we live worthily to have that wonderful feeling. It was amazing.
I love you all so much, and have a wonderful week!
