All is well in Oulu...

-22°C last p-day will freeze ya good! Gotta love the cold!

All is well in Oulu! I have been so overwhelmed with gratitude lately of how blessed my life truly is and how grateful I am that I have this opportunity to serve the Lord. Life is so good and happy!

 Sister Cain and I are doing fabulous! We are enjoying the cold weather and the Christmas initiative and all the wonderful things that mission life brings. I just have to say that before my mission I was so worried about having a companion, but my companions have been one of the things that I am the most grateful for. Especially for Sister Cain.

We got candy from Joulupukki at the 

ward Christmas party.

…and we saw the northern lights!!!! The Elders called us at 2045 and told us they were out. We were in the middle of the city so we couldn’t see them very well, but we jumped up and down in excitement and took a crappy picture.

A cool experience that happened last week was that we were tracting in a focus area where are often, and we street contacted a man that I had talked to at his house about a month ago. I remembered him because he was really nice and took a Book of Mormon at the time but said that he wasn’t interested. When we talked to him again on the street he said he actually thought his wife would be interested to learn and to watch the Christmas video and that we should stop by and show it to her some time. So when we went by this week we got to talk to the wife, who had to go pick up her child from school, but she set a return appointment with us. So fun! And she was super sweet. We are excited to go back and share a message with them. The Lord truly is guiding our actions. So cool
