4/8/25 "You don't have much time left" "I know"

And another week including visiting other churches and interviews with the mission president.

As per my title states, one of the first things sister Lehtinen told me was that. In a similar yet different manner, president Lehtinen gave an analogy to describe how I should see the work.

Imagine running the 1600 M or the 3200 M. The race itself is pretty steady and not much action happens ...yet. On the last lap, people start to speed up and for the last 100 M, they are practically sprinting. This 'last kick' is important. It is the make or break of a race. 

Looking back, I've run pretty steadily and sped up the last two transfers. The real question is will I have the 'kick'. There is much to do so I will work until I can't. My small invitation is to remember a point in your life where you had that 'kick'' and it made all the difference, and jot it down somewhere.

Fun analogy and fun interviews. Also General conference was fun. Would refer a friend.

Here's the rest:
- The Lehtinen's are big track and field fans and got to connect with them about it.
- Visited a Jehovah's Witness, Lutherin, and Pentecostal church. Twas a lot.
- It's crystal clear sky with 25 degree weather. Its still cold.
- Went to Jyväskyla for DC and explored a bit.
- Lots of doors and walking the streets
- Both our planned splits got canceled and moved to next week. More to come in the following weeks.

All and all, just trying to keep that kick, even if I get a side cramp along the way. Hope spring is treating you all good and till next time!

The work awaits,
Vanhin Lucas Hsu
