What a great week of learning and
loving! The mini missionary experience was probably one of the biggest
highlights of my mission. These youth of Finland are absolutely incredible.
They truly are the future of the church in Finland, and they will be amazing.
Our mini missionary who we were able to serve with had so much faith and determination,
even though everything about missionary work can be so out of ones comfort
zone. We reached new heights together and truly saw an unreal amount of
miracles. I was so proud of her when she prayed for her first time in her life
in English! She is so brave.

Guess what...I translated for the
mission president’s family this week. Just about wet my skirt, but it all went
well. Have I ever told you all how much I love Finnish? Yes, its Adams language
for sure.

While pondering and studying this
week I read a scripture in Alma. At this point in time of the Book of Mormon,
Alma is saying some of his last words to his son Helaman. He says in chapter 27
vs. 34 "...teach them to never be weary of good works..." and I
thought..."man, sometimes I get super worn out as a missionary!" but
after a random and total "Sister Cardon thought" I pondered more,
thinking of the question, Why do we get worn out of good works at times? In
further thought and reading I found an answer, vs. 36 "Let all thy doings
be unto the Lord and withersoever thou goest, let it be in the Lord". We
will get worn out of good works when they are for ourselves, but when we are
going forth with the desire and love for our Lord, he will not let us
ware.
Great blessing this week was that
we received EIGHT REFERRALS! Wow. I am not kidding, that mini missionary
brought many blessings.
Keep smiling everyone, you know I
am!
Rakkaudella,
Sisar Cardon
