Week 18 - I own Helsinki. (does a cool dance)

Helloooooooooooooo everyone! First off, a joke. How do you get holy water? *chirping* You take normal water and boil the heck out of it! *silence*

Anyway, this week transfer calls came! It was about five hours late so I had a pretty stressful Friday but that's the norm round these parts. So my comp Elder Childers is going to Rauma, and I'm staying here and getting Elder Jordan (not in my MTC group) from Pietarsaari! He's from Georgia and I'm really excited to meet him tomorrow!

Fun fact - so Sister Huber, from my MTC group, had responsibility over the main part of Helsinki with her companion (we're in the same ward) (I had the ghetto woo). But now Sister Huber is training, but not for three weeks! She'll be in Marjaniemi as a trio for those three weeks while her trainee is in the MTC, so basically, I have pretty much all of Helsinki for the next three weeks. Except the Zone Leaders have East Helsinki (Marjaniemi), but that doesn't count because there's nothing there, not part of the main city and it's ghetto too. Also, Elder Childers leaves at 09:30 on Tuesday but Elder Jordan gets here at 14:29! Sooooo for five hours tomorrow I will be the only missionary in the world assigned to take care of Helsinki! Haha, power. I will convert thousands. 

Anyway. This week's been pretty fun! We got a new investigator, which brings up our total to three new investigators this transfer!! That probaby sounds pathetic, but I've been working my tail off so there you have it. Finnish is great! I'm not fluent, but I don't usually have any problems talking to people, which is nice. Overall, my time in training was really great, and I'm glad to be going senior companion this transfer! (no, I don't still have three weeks left of training, and yes, I'm lying)

So yup. I love missionary work, and I love this gospel! Shout out to Holden d'Evegnee, one of my best friends in high school, getting his mission call to the Ivory Coast! He still hasn't told me himself so maybe the combination of those of you who know him telling him to email me will get something out of it.

This Church blesses all who seek those blessings. It's led by Jesus Christ, the Saviour of the world and of all mankind, and I could not be more humbled to be his representative in this amazing land. Suomi ikuisesti! 

I love you all!!! Have a great week!
