It as been a crazy week! When Sister West and I got to the
train station we had the following instructions to find our way home: Go down
the ramp, go under the two bridges away from the orange buildings, and it
should be one of the first buildings on your right. So with that and all of our
luggage we were off! We found the apartment! We then had to figure out buses,
how to get to our lessons, how to find the church and where the grocery store
and library were and all I can say is that we were led by the spirit! We have
these really old bus maps and bus schedules that we use to get around that have
the bus schedules for last year. Everything is online now so they recently
stopped making updated paper maps. Sister West is really good with directions
so we haven't gotten terribly lost yet. It has been really fun to figure out
the area together.
The people in the Espoo ward are so sweet and there were
even some members visiting from Tampere that I got see so it was so nice. There
was also a member visiting from Vaasa that I got to see and I haven't seen
anyone from Vaasa in over a year! I can't believe that she still remembered me.
It was a really great Sunday.
There are so many people here in Espoo from all over the
world. In just the past couple days I have talked to people from Pakistan,
Romania, a ton of people from the Philippines, Russians, Estonians and of
course Finns. It has been so weird to contact in English this past week. We are
currently teaching people from Cameroon, Ghana, and the Congo.
I know that God truly does answer prayers and I
have prayed so much this past week for direction on what to do and quite
literally for help with directions. I know that the Lord also fully expects
that we put in our best efforts as well. I know that with His help I will never
get permanently lost.
