March 8, 2016 CRAZY AWESOME WEEK :)‏

Sisar Kwok and I were SOOO busy this week and we made so many memories. 

Being a missionary is so stressful, but oh so rewarding. 

We did something crazy....haha so you know how it's freezing in Finland? Wellllll, Sisar Kwok and I were out kinda further from our apartment so we decided to just get some food at the grocery store here so we could stay out in the area. We found swings by a forest by the ocean. We were just swinging eating our pickles looking out at the frozen water...and got the best idea....just 10 minutes later we were on out bikes crossing the frozen water to get to our next point of destination. IT WAS SO MUCH FUN!!! What missionary can say that they took their bikes over frozen meri (sea) by a cross country skiiing path. So cool. The sun was setting too. It was definitely a highlight this week. 

We did the traditional pea soup and lettu for lunch on Thursday. So fun. I love pea soup.

Shout out to Lew for the world's BEST birthday package ever.
I opened it with a chefs knife. :)

I finished the Book of Mormon this week. It is was the first time I have ever REALLY read the whole thing. I started in the MTC and yesterday read the last chapter. It is an amazing book. I believe that it is from God. I realized when I read the promise from Moroni at the end, while I pondered his words, that I have had a stronger testimony of it than I thought. There were times that I read and didn't want to put it down! It's like a TV show with cliff hangers sometimes! I love the Book of Mormon. I am happy to now be able to say to my friends I meet here in Finland, "I have read this book, prayed about it, and know that it truly is God's word". I am happy about the testimony that is challenged everyday, but grows every day. 

So much happened this week I can't even write it all!

Keep smiling and if you can, come to Finland :)
