What a great week! We had our interim, which means that we
stayed at the mission home from Monday night to Friday afternoon and received
training for all of the new missionaries. We had great discussions about faith
and something that was said that I loved was, '' You can study faith all of
your life and not even scratch the surface.'' It was great hearing so many
experiences from so many different people while we were there as well. On
Wednesday night we got to go to the Helsinki Temple! It was a great experience
to be in the house of the Lord and to be there with so many amazing
missionaries. We talked a lot about the importance of having charity in all
that we do. One of the comments made was a challenge to ''Be a positive
force.'' It's something I have made my personal goal since then by doing things
such as always finding something good to say about the day. Little things like
not complaining about the weather and if the suns not out and it's grey and
cold and wet, saying something like, 'What a beautiful typical Finnish day!''
It takes a little effort and some humor but it's always better to be
positive!

Our investigator is being baptized this Saturday! We are so
incredibly excited and I hope to send some pictures of it next week. It has
been one of the greatest blessings in my mission to see people truly changing
their lives and growing closer to their savior Jesus Christ. I feel so blessed
to be a missionary and to be able to tell people things that make them happier
and answer the questions that they've had for so long. I love that Heavenly
Father has prepared the way for us and a plan of happiness. That step of
baptism is essential to the plan and I know that Saturday will be just an
amazing day.
