And another one in the books.
Met with members, ran into a few surprises and had a good, warm week in Mikkeli.
On Wednesday, life got interesting. With a board game night already planned and a short call with a member, we had a reasonable plan. The day before, we received a text informing us that we had an apartment check.
With that dropped, our schedule started to go. On top of that, they came an hour earlier than expected. Apartment is intact and we got some good Indian Curry too after. Each day was less crazy but nonetheless crazy.
Our district has also started a parable review thing during DC's and this week is about the ten virgins. As the story goes, ten virgins all went to a place to wait for the bridegroom to come. When he came, only five had enough oil to light their lamps. The other five were late to get oil and didn't make it to the party.
Across a lot of digging, I found that the main idea is preparation. Sometimes life throws us a surprise (like an apartment check). We may not know what will happen tomorrow but we can do what we can today to prepare physically, mentally, and spiritually for whatever surprise comes.
Invite: What is the best way to prepare physically, mentally, spiritually? Then do it.
The rest of the chaos:
- Ran into an old friend on Saturday. Proceeded to run into the AP's right afterwards.
- Went to a Jesus night event hosted the protestant churches in town. Had a decent conversation with one person from Helsinki. Then, another came and opened with "Heavenly mother isn't real". Long discussion later, we departed with no hard feelings.
- One member here has nearly every Donald Duck comic book in Finnish and its impressive.
- Made dumplings for probably the last time in Finland. I don't like the fact that I have lasts now.
- Nearly full chapel in church! Summer is here and so are the Finns with summer cottages. Had one kind of friend come but he might think I'm a Chinese spy.
- Played a 30 hole disc golf course and didn't do too bad.
Might be longer next time but that's for next time. Enjoy the summer guys!
The work awaits,
