Dear Family,
What a wonderful time it is to be serving our Maker Jesus Christ and our Eternal Father in Heaven. The miracle you shared testify to me of the truthfulness of this gospel. The past week we were able to have our ward Christmas party. We had a program shared by the primary children and we sang some traditional Joulu (Christmas) songs. It was a wonderful time for us to get to know the members better as well as to have some of our less actives come. The next day was sunday and Elder Downs and myself were asked to sing again. (They seem to like us) And I was also giving a talk.
I spoke about Jesus Christ. I shared the `Living Christ`by the Twelve apostles in 2000, as well as the message shared by the Shepherds. We as missionaries are sharing this same message. Jesus Christ our Savior Lives.
We have also been able to make leaps and bounds with our Investigator Reino. We have learned of all of his concerns and are helping him over come them. One thing I that was really cool this week was after our district meeting. We had a district meeting about Prayer and how it is always good to go over that again with our investigators even if we know that they know the simple steps to pray.
We role played this in District meeting and later that night we had a teach with Reino.
At the end of our teach we invited him to pray. at first he didn't want to, but after doing exactly what we did in DM and showed him how easy it was to pray He was willing to do it. It was a wonderful tender mercy to see this happen.
We also had another change call this past week.
Elder Downs will be opening a new city in Malmi and I will be with another Elder called Vanhin Glasgow. (Hope I spelled that right) He will be our district leader so I will be the District leaders companion. I have been told that is the best companion position to be in. I will be staying in Kerava too. So I wont have to leave our Ward yet. :)
I don't have any new information about Christmas calling yet. We have been a little busy with the Ward party and changes, but I will have more information next week.
I love you all and thank you again for all you do for me.
I cant wait to hear from you on Christmas.
Love,
Vanhin Sandberg
