4/9/24 The Power of Words

Well, last week here in Turku and now I'm off to a new adventure.

So, met with a lot of people this last week. One friend is now praying about baptism, which is awesome. He has asked good questions and helping him find the answers to his questions is remarkable. Like Christ taught, "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you," Matthew 7:7. The only way to search for answers is by asking good questions and that leads to learning and growth. In both temporal and spiritual matters, this principle is key.

Anyhow, on top of that, there was General Conference. In this conference that is broadcast worldwide, the leaders of the church speak and give advice and messages for our time. Many great talks but I still haven't watched the last session yet. Like my title says, one speaker gave a talk on the power of words and it showed a new perspective on how words are used. From scriptures to talks and messages to emails, words are everywhere. Also, applying the words we hear or read can greatly change our life for good.

If you thought it couldn't get crazier, it did. We had transfer calls, where we get to know where we go for the next two months. Tomorrow, I'm off to Espoo AND I'm going to be an office elder. 

Ok, here is the rest:
- While we watched general conference, we made some cinnamon rolls. I forgot how much sugar is in those things.
- On the packing game. I don't have too much stuff yet but it is still a little bit like Tetris at this point.
- Literally 50 degrees for the first time in forever and it is hot. I may have climatized too much. 

Hope all your springs are going well! 

The work awaits,
Vanhin Hsu
