First off, as I was writing the title I remembered that although the word for 'halloween' in Finnish is written 'halloween' it's pronounced 'hallohvehn', and that reminded me that sometimes because the letters w and v are the same to Finns they'll say words like 'visiting' as 'wisiting'. That was really random but there you go!
So this week. I guess first off I should tell you all that throughout the last few weeks I've been meeting with some different medical professionals, and the second to last time I was on the phone with one I was told I was ill with something that would require me to return home to be treated, and likely be unable to return to the mission field. This obviously shocked me immensely and dealing with it has been difficult, but luckily I have one more appointment with a very good professional in Espoo (right next to Helsinki) on Wednesday so we can be absolutely certain about the condition and best method of treatment. Thus I'd appreciate to be kept in your prayers for a spell, mostly that I'll be able to accept and understand God's will as being greater than mine, in whatever happens.
Predominantly I want to be the greatest envoy of Heavenly Father I can possibly be, extrinsic influences forgot. Of all that I've experienced and grown to love in Finland, I sure as heck don't want to leave. I suppose we'll see!
Missionary work wise I had a wonderful week! We had an investigator in church and got to meet with her afterwards! Also during exchanges in Lappeenranta I taught the Word of Wisdom to one of the most humble investigators I've ever met. We gave him a blessing and he gave us all of his cigarettes. We threw them away. Good stuff!
Anyway, the library is actually closing early so I need to hurry, but I love you all and have a great week!
