Summer!

Well summer is finally here. Well almost here. Everything is looking a lot more green and things are starting to warm up. This week was really amazing and was pretty jam packed. We had a zone conference in Oulu and that was fun as always. We also went to Tornio yesterday which is the city that is on the Finland Sweden border. It was fun although I wanted to find some Swedish speakers but we weren't able to. My Swedish amounts to me introducing the church so that has got to be worth something. While in Tornio we met with a former investigator who is a very kind older Gentleman. He took us out to a Chinese Restaurant and we had a good chat with him. He called us after we left and asked if he could come to church so we are very excited about that.  

This week we were knocking doors and this younger man answered as we were talking to him, his friend came up the stairs and walked into the apartment and shut the door behind him. So we were pretty bummed but then the guy opened the door back up and invited us to come in. I'm pretty sure it was out of pity but hey whatever works. Anyways we talked to him and shared a message with him. He wasn't too religious himself but he seemed interested and wanted to find more peace in life. We also were let into another man's house this week who has seen the missionaries a countless number of times. He was very kind and invited us in. We got him to agree to start reading the Book of Mormon. It showed me how Heavenly Father really does prepare people for us to teach all we need to do is find them, by whatever means necessary. I have definitely gained a stronger testimony of that this week as we have seen many miracles come from looking for those that God has prepared for us. On Sunday we had Ward Conference and it was super fun. The amount of people we had in Sacrament meeting was about double. It was super fun and I learned so much. I feel like I am always learning which is probably good because it shows me that I still have a long ways to go. Well have a great week.
