I guess it all started with my birthday! I turned 22! And we had absolutely no appointments set up for that day, which means we spent the day walking around Lahti, trying to get into contact with some former investigators, and less actives. Out of the eight people we had set up to drop by... only one was home... and she claimed she didn't speak Finnish or English. This is somewhat confusing, because she's been taught by missionaries before. But whatever. We also dropped some flowers and a note by an investigator's house whose had a really busy life lately, and another member's who's had a really hard life lately. It made both of their days! It was great to be of service.
Later that day some sisters from Turku came, to do exchanges with us on the next day. Really fun! Sister Schellenberg ended up going a splits with a missionary from her MTC group. They were amazing together! I think The Lord really blesses the younger missionaries. I had an almost cool story. I was wearing my Canada mittens that day (it was hailing...borderline snowing that day) and a car pulled over and said she had seen me walking around and wanted to know if I was from Canada. Of course I said yes. Sister Kunz (my companion for exchanges) and I told her what we were doing in Finland. And then... she just wanted to sell me Amway. SO almost cool.
Thursday then was Zone Conference. Fun, but exhausting.
Friday.... Lots of appointments.
Saturday. We had a baptism!!! But not really. It was the Elders' from Kouvola. BUT the lady that went to baptism is moving back to Lahti in a couple weeks. She started investigating while she lived in Lahti, moved away and is now moving back. So that is great! The ward is really excited.
Sorry I dont have tons of time. I need to head. Love you all have a great week!
