Crazy start to this transfer. I'll explain the nothing later.
Three big events happened. On May 1st, we had Vappu. It's the equivalent to labor day in the states and we couldn't do active missionary work due to drinking and other shenanigans the Finns pull.
The following day, we had MyPlan. In the last transfer of a missionary, we go to MyPlan to discuss ways to adjust into 'normal life' while keeping all of the good habits acquired from missionary work.
To cap the week, stake conference on Sunday. Sent a few messages to hopefully get a ride from members but to no avail. Watched the youtube link and just chilled in Mikkeli.
In a nutshell, we did nothing in terms of active missionary work. I was still able to get in my scripture study. In 3rd Nephi 28 after Jesus Christ gives his authority to the 12 apostles in the ancient America's, life got complicated for them.
Some were thrown into prison, others into pits, some into fire, and others into dens of beasts.
Despite these challenges, the Lord lifted them up in their afflictions. Prisons fell, pits left empty, fires didn't burn nor did beast attack.
We can overcome modern challenges with faith and hope. Difficult, bad friends, tight budgets, and everything else. Some blessings way come later, some sooner but as we strive to live the Gospel, blessings will come.
Here's the fine details of the week:
- Went to a members on April 30th and ate some good potato salad. They had some Vappu games and somehow, when using a nerf gun to shoot plastic cups, I shot in between the bottom center cups.
- Got to drive the mission van one last time.
- Playing a lot of board games with our extra time.
Hope everyone's having a warmer spring that I am!
The work awaits,
