This past Sunday we had stake conference for southern Finland and it went really well! A member of the 70 from Denmark came. He is the same one that was here in November talking to all the missionaries in Finland. I really loved his talk. He talked a lot about how the Book of Mormon is the most precious gift from God! And how is life would be different with out it. He is a convert and it is amazing to me to think that when people really learn to love the Book of Mormon they change and have so much joy. I can imagine quite a few recent converts that I have met right here in Finland becoming future leaders in the church.
Our friend Bob is doing great. He was going to come to stake conference with us...but he forgot that it was in Helsinki and he went to our church building in Espoo. My heart was crushed when he called me and asked where everyone was at. We had a great lesson though with him yesterday about temples and the priesthood. He is ready. His date is for the 1st if June, so not this Saturday but the following. We are super excited for him!
This week is zone conferences, and we are going on splits with some of the zone leaders in Helsinki. We are super excited for that. We had a splits also with some elders this week and it was really good. We had another lesson over the technology. Super fun. It is coming in handy. By the end of this week all missionaries should be using their devices. We are going to wrap up the training.
We had a really good lesson with these boys from the Congo. They are awesome. They are all cousins around the age of 20. We have been meeting with them for about a month now and they love it. They had a ton of questions and are pretty scared of dying, so it was really great when we taught them the plan of salvation! They found a lot of comfort in learning that God has a plan for them! We have been talking a lot about the Plan of Salvation with people recently and I am super grateful that I have been blessed to learn of it for myself! I am so grateful that God has a plan for each one of us.
We are going to go hiking next week again in the woods for p-day, so we shall see if I send out an email!
Love you all!
