Rauma is great haha i love it here more than anything!! I love the people so much more than the people in Helsinki it's crazy! My companion is Elder Kelley and we get along awesome! We are both really hard workers and love doing the work! I love the city so much! I love tracting here and just preaching the good word! I feel that the 4 days I have been here my finnish has gotten so so so so much better I cant believe it! I am speaking to everyone and we are teaching like crazy! We don't contact to invited people to some Dumb American night! We talk to people to teach them the good word! I am having an amazing time and I am so blessed to be moved to this city! I really believe my mission took a turn the BEST!
Saturday we tracted for 4 hours and wow did the time fly and was I teaching like crazy I don't studder with the language I speak it smoothly. I probably have a few grammar mistakes but man I am speaking the language and I am not scared at all to talk about our amazing gospel! We should all be smiling cause we have the restored gospel in our lifes!
The AP's came over on Friday and brought everything we needed! we have hot water we just cant take long ones I just didn't turn up the handle all the way and the heaters work they were just turned off! So don't be worrying I am great! Me and Elder Kelley get along great and are so excited to work our butts off for the people of Rauma! because they deserve the best so were going to give it to them! The weather it rains a lot so my shoes are soaked! Its been warm and cold here Today the sun is shinning and its kind of really warm the first few days were freezing! We had so much to do the first few days! By a map plan out our tracting areas just a bunch of missionary work!
Saturday we were going to go meet a referral and we started walking and we walked in the pooring rain for 2½ hours and we got lost so we started heading back and I was like Elder I am not walking in the rain anymore this is a joke haha I AM SOKED haha good thing I had a rain proof coat on but my shoes my pants everything! so I said the next car that comes I am waving them down and asking for a ride hahaha the next car came I tried to stop it and they thought I was waving at them so they waved back and kept going haah I was so mad YOU*VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME haha so another car came and the same thing happened finally a van stopped and I spoke to him in finnish and asked for a ride and he said yeah come on in! we started talking than you know me I just wanted to give him the gospel so I started talking away but we got into town and he dropped us off! it was fun! my companion is so amazed for how long I have been in the country that I can just talk to everyone and anyone and If I don't understand someone I just nod my head and than just keep talking its so fun to get those compliments from him haha his finnish is good but we are both for sure learning from eachother and the finns around us! We got let into the 4th house we knocked on we walked to them for a bout an hour and ½ and they kept on getting off the subject so I finally decided to pipe in and say hey listen this book has really helped my life and I know it can yours we want to give this book to you as a gift like my companion said 3 times now it was funny I didn't want to waste time being in a house I wanted to get back on the streets talking to people haha!
Our ward is great really small but we have a good ward and they are going to work with us a lot I hope! we need to find bikes because our city is a little bigger than we thought but I think that will be easy ward members said they would look around for us!! Tomorrow morning we are meeting with a football coach here in Rauman kaupunki we are going to be helping coach on Thursday s and and satudays I think! because we have to tract 2 hours a day and contact 2 hours a day we cant tract after 8 and there is no one out to be contacting at 8 so we are finding all kinds of service's around the city so that we can have things to do! We have been so tired at night's working our tail's off I love it and wouldn't have it any other way! Speaking to the people is the best!!!
Ok I have a little favour to ask! Mom you know how you said you collect the stamps I send you well good because I have a lot of different stamps for you guys but I am collecting stamps too so maybe when you send me letters can you go to the post office and see what cool stamps they have to send me? that seriously would be awesome haha thanks you guys!
I am so happy and loving my mission so much more I am just loving the work and continue to have that smile on each day this church is true and makes me smile with a passion that it's jesus christ's church restored back on this earth today! I finished the book of mormon again that book is really something! yesterday was fathers day in finland so we couldn't go tracting or contacting so we had to stay in and I decided I was going to read and study a lot more! we couldn't visit less actives cause they lived far away and no body wanted to take us there! but know that I love you all so very much and wish the best blessing upon you man I am stoked that I still have so much time left to preach the gospel and By GALLY the people in RAUMA will receive it haha love you all so much.
Love
