5/24/25 He's a Machine

Welcome back! This week was crazy but I'll get to that in a bit.

We did a lot of service. Painting a shed, helping repair a dock, and lots of picking up sticks. Service is truly one of the best ways to get to know people too!

On top of that, we had our interviews with President Lehtinen and they went well. Got reminded again to give it my all before I go home. While I was talking with Sister Lehtinen, she laid out these cards. Each one had a different word/trait on it. In the activity, I was asked to pick three. There was easily 30 out but I eventually picked three.

Hardworking, inquisitive, and determined.

It let me reflect on all that I've experiences as well as what traits I've seen grow on the mission. I also got to see what three my companion picked for me. At some point in their conversation, Sister Lehtinen said I was like a machine. The three were;

Systematic, hardworking, and calm. 

It was cool to see that my set of traits or 'talents' are pretty strongly linked to each other. There are many good gifts and as Moroni 10:18 puts it;

"Remember that every good gift cometh of Christ"

Traits, gifts, whatever you want to call them, we all have some. They are all important and can be used to bless others. The challenge this time, Try to write out your 3 strongest traits and reflect on them.

The rest:
- We had 4 DA's in the last 4 days. That doesn't happen and I've been quite stuffed.
- Splits with the ZL's. Had some super good conversations with people that day. One was quite sick but feeling better now.
- I almost found a family history link but it didn't really exist. More digging into my Finnish family history is a must.
- Its finally in the 60-70 degrees here!

That was pretty much all but till next time! (I don't have much more next times either but till then!)

The work awaits,

As this week ends, my time in Finland will also end. However, not without some memorable moments. The second biggest holiday in Finland is M...
