Funny! So we were tracting down a street and Sisar Kristensen said the
funniest thing. She said "Brother S has really kicked me onto a ridge!
Wait, that doesn't make any sense..." She just meant that she was really
inspired by this man in our ward who became a singer as a hobby while on his
mission. He learned to play piano and sing and all that jazz while here! It's
actually pretty cool, but ti was so funny because it made no sense!!
I also don't know the word for hot in Finnish so that night
when I was drinking some cocoa, I said in Finnish, "very warm cocoa"
which was funny until it was sad because my cocoa wasn't that hot anyways. (Title of email)
New things! So most new things will be food related. This
one is so fun! I had kebab!! It is illegal in the USA and I ate it here! It was
super good! It was in in a taco just the shell was a pizza crust and it was
HUGE!!! It was
really good though.
I also had a yummy desert like a blueberry cobbler at a
member's house yesterday. It was soooo good! Also some weird soup made of
creamed vegetables and with a little bit of curry then we mixed in sour cream.
It sounds gross it's called sunshine soup, but I didn't ask too many questions.
I just smiled and ate!!
I also had my first taste of shrimp... On PIZZA!!! That was
weird and it looked like brains, but I ate it and it was good so yayyy!!!
Opestustavia! So This word basically means teachables. We
don't call them investigators anymore, so we use this word. We have 6 kinda 7
but mostly 6.
There's The Knitter, JO, Depressed, The No Show, Old Man,
Fam, and Frenchie. Frenchie technically lives in another area and works here
some days so we meet with him, but he's technically a referral. So we kinda
count him but kinda not.
We met with Depressed this week and he seemed really
resistant, but when we texted to set up a lesson and check up, he followed
through on his commitments, so that's a good sigh. We made some good plans to
help him progress a little better. He's just really sad because his wife passed
away and he doesn't have any motivation, but we're helping him to come closer
to Christ.
We also met with Old Man this week. He is mostly curious
about the statistical aspects of missionary work, but he had read some of the
Book of Mormon and he seemed to like it. He at least had nothing against it.
But we'll see how our next appointment goes.
They are the only ones we met with this week because many
are still out and about for the holidays, but this week everyone should be
back.
Sunday! This gets a separate thing because I want to touch
on it a little bit! So we met with the ward mission leader and his wife is
American!! She is super sweet too! She's going to be a really big help in our
efforts to work with the women of the ward. She is amazing! We also had 2 hour
church which was so weird! I also found out that there is an English Sunday School
class, but we didn't go, so I was kinda useless for an hour, but it was good. I
learned a lot of new things. And one man said something really good about the
new home centered church supported program. I hope you are all familiar with he
story of the 10 virgins. Some had oil and others didn't and this man said that
the way we get oil in our lamps and prepare ourselves to meet God is to study
with the Come Follow Me manual. He testified that it's from God, so of course
it will help you to gain a greater testimony. It was really good. I invite
everyone to either ask my mom to help them get a copy or look online at lds.org.
I think that is all for this week!! I love you all so much
and I will talk to you next week!! LOVE YOU!!!
Love Sister McCammon
The Girls went to a Lutheran Church to listen to a Christmas Concert here is a bit of that.
