It's snowing! Again.

Well this week went by fast as usual. I am fairly certain that I have said that every week but it really does feel that way this week. This week we were in Rovaniemi for our district meeting with the zone leaders. We decided to go get lunch at a place that sells this burger called the Tosi Miehen Burger which just means the real man burger. It was pretty massive and pretty tasty so I would say that was definitely a culinary highlight for the week. It snowed like four of seven days this week. I was under the impression spring was coming so that was kinda a rude awakening. Everyone here says that it is pretty unusual and should all be gone next week, but I don't know if I believe the hype. 

This last week we have been doing a lot to prepare for our investigator's baptism which is hopefully this weekend. We had a great lesson with her on the priesthood and how we need the authority from our Heavenly Father if we want to act in his name. The priesthood is something that I have come to gain such a strong testimony in. I am so grateful for the examples of righteous priesthood holders that I have been influenced by in my life. 

This week I was reading in the book of Helaman. I love chapter 5 verse 12 which talks about how when we are built upon Christ not even the devil himself can sway us from our beliefs. I like this a lot because when we have a strong testimony in Christ then we understand why we have everything else in the church. When we look the our savior first then we are better able to understand the purpose of everything that we have in the church. I know that as we strengthen out testimonies in Jesus Christ then everything else will fall into place. I don't know everything but I do know that Jesus Christ is my Savior and because of that I will place my trust in him and his church. Thanks for listening
