Hey family and friends! What a week! So much has happened and next week is General
Conference! Crazy how fast it goes! This week has been crazy to me.
On Tuesday the day we last spoke, I BOUGHT PANTS! I now am the proud owner of two pairs of
pants! Blue and Grey! They are really
nice I wore them to our lessons, we had 2. The first was with our young Chinese
friend. He is pretty Cool. We taught
about Jesus Christ and the Book of Mormon and S said he would read and pray and
try to repent every day. He is so
ready. Then our next lesson work out
just how it needed to. We had just the right member. We found out the A has some problems he needs
to work through before much more can happen, but he also really desires to
follow God. So it was really good still.
On Wednesday, we woke up and planned, studied, ate, then
went out to a bit farther out area. We
got on the bus and met this lady who wasn’t doing good so we asked to pray for
her and she said yes. So we prayed and she cried a little. She was so cute, but
it was so sad. She told us she had
cancer, then walked away. So we went our
way too and knocked some doors, buy no one answered. But we tried to talk to this man who was mopping
in the building but he was a little harsh, but then we told him who we
represent and then he was kinder. He
eventually told us where he was from. Rwanda.
We eventually came home and studied and did calls. We were going to visit our friend from Iraq
but we couldn’t find an Arabic speaking member. So we didn’t go. We called people instead. Then had dinner before heading over to our
friends house. We had a crazy cool lesson though. We did really good. Before we contacted around for a little
while. It was good. We even watched a
safety video. It was crazy scary about
electrical safety. Good!
Thursday, quite a day.
It has felt so long. So much has
happened. We had a long tracting
session. This morning. It was SO LONG! It
feels like 1000 years ago. We had no
success and no one was home. It
sucked. But it was sunny and we got to talk
to this guy who is almost deaf and he yelled at us. It was the loudest conversation ever here in
Finland. Most remarkable part of the
morning. Then we had studies and we got
to go teach the family from Iraq. They
understood a lot even though we didn’t bring someone. It was so good. Then dinner and our Chinese friend cancelled
but our returning member called and we went and visited her and we didn’t plan
anything but it went so good. The
spirit was there just testifying so strong.
She even opened up about some spiritual experiences. We were on a
spiritual high. Then we went and watch a
safety video. hyvää päivää.
Friday is always FUN!
Especially once we get moving! We
had a lesson this morning. It was with
this French man who said it was hard to change his mind but we tried to teach anyway. It didn’t go very well. He wasn’t very nice, no bash-y but not nice.
Then we left to go home for lunch, but the member offered to buy us pizza so we
obviously said yes! ★★★★★! It was so yummy!
I loved it! The we came home and
finished studies before doing weekly planning.
And we are getting so much better!
We were like 5 minutes to being done ut we had to eat because we had a
lesson right at 6 o’clock. It was with
our Indian friend and his parents. It
went well but we had to leave pretty quick from that too because we had English
Hour. Which had 5 missionaries attend
and 3 friends…all who are basically fluent in English. But it was fun anyways. Then we walked a
friend home before coming home ourselves.
Saturday was a much hurry day. We had our ward coordination meeting
at 10 so we were out the door so fast after the morning. And we had a good
meeting. Then Sisar Wulfenstein played
piano to de-stress before we were out for lunch then studies. We then headed to the church for a lesson
with a girl we met a couple days ago, but she never showed up so we went and
were going to tract, but we found a cool shack with Studio Ghibli pictures. It was so cool, so we took pictures and it
was legit. Then we came home for “dinner”
but we were fasting so we just did stuff for an hour before we had to leave for
our friend from Nigeria. He has a
baptismal date so we made him a calendar to prepare him, but the lesson went on
so many tangents and every time I tried to bring it back, he attacked me.
Abbie found someone to send me pics! Thank you Melissa!
Sunday was BUSY! We slept in because our alarm didn’t go off
at the right time #daylight savings! (Finland’s daylight savings happens later
than ours) so we had to rush to get ready since we were picking up our friend
to go to church. We got to his apartment and called and rang and knocked but no
answer but then he finally texts us and says he’s not home. I was annoyed. So we went to church and after
church we had a ward dinner thing. It
was so fun! I got to talk to some ward members and have fun. Then right after we had a lesson with a
returning member. He’s pretty cool. He’s from Ethiopia. After our lesson we had studies before we
went to a birthday party for our recent convert…and his family is loaded! But it was fun! He’s 30 now. We were there
for a long time before we left for a quick pit stop home before heading out to
tract and then teach our friends from Iraq.
This time we had our translator but the Dad was at the gym. So many obstacles. But it was still ok. We had to run home, but the lesson was good!
Monday was also crazy.
We left in the morning and talked to this lady from Rovaniemi! We got her address to give to the elders
there. Then we came home to call our
friend to do a short phone lesson but he didn’t answer. Then we ate and panned
before heading to a members house for a short visit that didn’t end up being
short because she fed us. But it was good.
It was so fun she is so cute with a sweet conversion story from a long
time ago Her testimony is still so
strong. We came home to study the language
before we had dinner of mostly raw potatoes and I put honey on them. Not too
bad. Then we had a lesson with our young
Chinese friend and he’s actually almost 40 and married with a daughter. So that
was a surprise! But his lesson went so well. I really felt the spirit and he
really liked the scripture 3 Nephi 18:15 about prayer. It was funny, he made us chicken because we
pray for him. Such a sweetheart. We then contacted to the church to see if someone
wanted a tour (no) so we watched a safety video before going home. It was a long but good day.
I love you all and appreciate the love and support and especially
the prayers.
Thank you!
Sisar McCammon
