Week 27 Our Captain is at the Helm

Dear Family,

We had a wonderful week! Both Elder Downs and myself are still getting used to the new area of Kerava, but things are still working out great for us. We had exchanges on Dads Birthday. So that was fun. We had a bit of greenie power going on. I was working with a brand new companion on tuesday. He has only been in the country a week and a half.

I was a little bit nervous because i still have times that I don't understand. But When we Give everything to the Lord he makes up for the rest. Elder Alhquist ( think that is how you spell it) We had a blank day. we only had two things planned for that night and the rest of the day was open. We did have a hard time finding places, but we were having so much fun together. The first couple of places we stopped by no one answered, but when it came time for our first appointment we made it there right on time, so things are going good. We get in to our members house and i realize. This is all in Finnish. My Companion wont understand anything. POOF Miriacle. We understood enought that we had a wonderful visit with them. After our member went with us to a teach. To our one investigator that speaks only finnish.

The LORD makes up for everything right?

We had a fantastic lesson. The spirit was there, we both understood what was going on! Elder Alhquist invites him to be Baptized and then....

Elder Alhquist and myself cant understand anything. EVerything was going great. And then nothing. I felt as if I lost all of my language. We barely made it thought the rest of the lesson by asking if we could have a closing prayer.

We both get out of this lesson just praying that everything went alright.

When we get into our members car we were feeling a little down at this point. He offers to drive us back home. And that is when we asked him how he thought our lesson went.

"That lesson Was Amazing!"

Even When we didn't understand what was going on our heavenly Father did. Our member understood and he helped take over. He Told us that we said everything that was needed. Everything went the way is was supposed too.

By the end of the night i was just amazed at how  the Lord really does just make up for the rest. We gave as much as we could and he took over for the rest. even if that means we go throught a small panic moment. Our Captain is at the Helm. He knows better then we do.

You are wonderful. If you need anything let me know. I love you and pray for you ever day.

Love,

Vanhin Sandberg
