I think I fell in love with Espoo this week. It seems to happen wherever you go on your mission. I've never felt so determined to work so hard on my mission. At least not since Oulu. Sister Vincent and I are really getting things going... even if it is a couple weeks later than we had wanted.
We had a miracle in getting one of our investigators to church yesterday. She's been a bit of an eternal investigator and hasn't come to church in the last two months. We had a lesson with her on Tuesday, and she said she wouldn't be coming. We booked another lesson for the Friday and we went with a member. The member invited her to church. Our investigator expressed that she didn't really love coming to church because she's a single mom, and so she feels like she's looking after her daughters the whole time and doesn't end up getting anything out of it. Our member offered to help keep the girls entertained, and we missionaries, offered to come pick her up. She accepted. We went with her to church and everything. Yesterday at church, it felt like the ward was helping keeping the girls quiet so that her mom could have a good experience. And she did. She loved it.
Also, yesterday after church we had a ward potluck. The theme was American Food. Most of us missionaries agreed that one thing we don't miss from home is hot dogs. Unless of course, it's done properly over a campfire.
Everything is exceptional. The weather is beautiful. Having spring come is a bit weird though. I feel like we haven't even had winter and now, we get these beautiful sunny days, and warm weather.
Anyhow, I need to go. Love you all!
Rakkaudella,
Sister Kastendieck
