We have been too busy to take pics. But this week we are going to set the goal to take a picture everyday, so I should be sending plenty next week! We have p-day on Monday this week because Tuesday through thursday we are going to be in this meeting where the trainees and trainers learn and discuss. I have been to alot of these because I have trained twice and was ap and i learn something every time. So we are way excited!
This week was super great! We had a great time being in the work. We have a friend who is so close to being baptized! She has come to church now three weeks in a row and she is doing great. She has started to live the word of wisdom and is getting excited! Her son is also super cool. He is a 6 year old and has learned fluent english from YouTube and cartoons. She had a lot of questions about the temple so it was really cool that in sunday school this week we were able to talk a lot about Gods plan and temples and temple work. She really liked it!
Other than that, we have been trying to find a lot of people. The work has been great. I love talking to people. I feel like everyone I talk to is my friend. We have such good conversations about anything and everything. I was talking to sister aura the other day and I was saying that I wished I had been able to do this my entire mission, but she goodly corrected me, and said that the learning part is the most important part. That is so true. It has forced me to re-learn the gospel in a more simple way. I have had to rely on the Lord and learn patience and humility. What a gift it has been to be able to learn Finnish, and to struggle, and not know what to say!
We have been playing soccer with the Africans again. Let me tell you, I played so good. They had me playing left back always for some reason. I did make one bad mistake the led to a near goal, humiliating...and I asked them how I could get better and they said "you are getting better, we are African, we love everybody." So that is comforting.
I got to go! Love elder Christensen
