Fatherhood

Well here we are again, 

So as you might guess I am currently training a new missionary. His name is Elder Bartholomew (which is near impossible for Finns to pronounce) and he is from Springville. Anyways he is great and I am excited to get to work with him. I thought I was going to be teaching him a lot but I think I've already learned more from him than him from me. Anyways this week was pretty great. On Wednesday we got stuck in Seinajoki because something happened to the railway system and so they cancelled all the trains into Vaasa. So we got to be there for a little bit. This week we also had a really great lesson with one of our progressing investigators. We talked about the plan of salvation and it was a very tender lesson. I feel like a baby for using the word tender but I'm sure you get the point. We had a great discussion about the spirit and we were able to teach our investigator about how the spirit has comforted us in our own lives. 

Yesterday we were talking to a man on the street and he told us about how he had no belief in God. We continued talking to him and he told us about a recent car accident he had and how he had survived a pretty messy crash. We asked him if it made him reconsider his beliefs about God and he said that it did but that it quickly went away. It made me happy for my own testimony that I have but it was also sad to see how with no testimony this man found very little comfort in the thought death. It made me very happy for what I have. But anyways that about sums up the week. thanks
