A Plethora of Meetings......

Wow, time is going so so fast here. I think that it has already been like a month. That is crazy. We have had quite a few meetings these past couple days. One is called EMLC, and that is all of the leaders in the mission. That was way fun though, and tons of my MTC group were there. almost all of them. Elder Weeks and I had to conduct all of the meetings and I also gave this report called "the state of the mission" basically stats about how the mission is doing in certain areas. It went well! We also were able to go to the Temple after the meeting. I love the Finland Temple. The pictures on the LDS website dont do it justice. MLC was a meeting the next day and it was just us and the zone leaders and sister leaders. so around 16 of us I think. 

We just got back from playing soccer for 3 hours this morning. My legs are way weak. There is this heated turf field in our city which is pretty sweet. Everywhere around it is snow but the field is nice and green. My comp is a soccer player so he destroyed everyone. We practiced doing headers for the final 30 minutes and my skull still hasn't recovered. Anyway, the weather is warming up quite a bit here. Maybe up north it is a little cold, but usually now down here it is hovering around 0 or 32 degrees Fahrenheit. not too shabby. Also been really rainy recently so that stinks. 

We had another really good week of finding investigators. Our next job is to get them to church so that they can continue to build their own conversion to Christ. We have been meeting with that family, and we invited them to be baptized...they said that they will think about it. So we are excited to meet again with them this week. 

We have a meeting with President every monday and it is usually around 2.5 hours. And each time we start off with a spiritual thought. This time it was my turn. I talked about how it is important to walk with God. In the book of Moses we learn that Enoch walked with God and that the people feared him. I was just thinking that in a way, Heavenly Father is inviting each one of us to walk with him all the time. We do that by following his Commandments, following the example of Christ, and accepting all the help that they are trying to send to us! 

1 John 2:6 says:  He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.    When we walk the way that Christ walked, that is when we gain access to all of the many miracles.

Unfortunately, we dont have any more time today. 

Love you all! i also dont think we have a pday next week so we shall see if I email.
