Dear Momma and Papanua,
First we will start with a story,
We had a fun experience yesterday with our elders quorum president. During the middle of sunday school he asked if he could speak with us.
He was contacted yesterday about a person that had seen the missionaries out in tuusula doing service for a member. This person was impressed enough that he asked if the missionaries could come and help him as well. Somehow it came to a Friend of the Bishop who gave it to our Bishop who then gave it to our Elders quorum president and then to us.
We are planned to help him on Thursday morning! All of this was nearly planned by the time that our elders quorum president talked to us. he just wanted to know if we were willing to help him and if we had time this week.
The miracle that I have noticed is this is now the second time this has happend with in the last two weeks. When wer were helping another member with there lawn they had just mentioned that the elders were helping them in that day and the nonmembeer friend asked if the Missionaries would be willing to come and help her family as well.
Just like Mom said, Heavenly Father is in the details of our lives. What a wonderful time it is to be in his service on earth.
We have another name for you to pray for. His name is Veli (Brother) Pekka. He is nearly ready for baptism. Our goal is to have a baptism with him in May. He has been taught everything and is just in need of review, but it was wonderful because last sunday when he taught him he mentioned. "I know that the Church is true and that Joseph Smith was a Prophet. I Am ready to come to baptism." IF you could pray for him that would be great!
It has been a bit difficult to meet with Harri and Gino, but we arn't giving up yet. We will have more of an update next week.
Another important thing. Mothers day is coming up WAY fast. When is Sacrament meeting that way we can plan best time to skype? Is there a time that best fits for you? We have not planned this as well as we should have, It just kinda popped up and we reminded another mission mom here in Kerava yesterday. We asked here, Are you excited to talk to your missionary on mothersay? Of course, wow, that is coming up really fast, Hannu!
Way funny!
one last story before I leave,
Saturday was one of our funnies days we have had here in Kerava. Many people wanted to talk to us instead. so we had two drunk men ask us what the differences were between Mormons and Helluntais. The second was a Man that was so excited to see us that he wanted to shake our hands before he left on his train. and the last was being stopped by two 13 yearold girls on our way to the station. So random, but funny. As we entered our appartment that night Elder STanley told me. Now you really have something to write in your journal tonight.
Wonderful Adventures of being a missionary. I love you all and look forward to talking to you on Mothersday. Remember that I love you!
love,
Vanhin Sandberg
