Well Elder E and Elder V are REUNITED! haha yeah!
I'm pumped!
Elder Viitanen is my new comp! Its so great, none of this awkward first week trying to figure out how things are going to work out between the two missionaries and learn each others life! We just jumped right into it! We are great friends and that makes the missionary work so much more fun! A lot has changed since we were together, we were both pretty young missionaries, now we got a little more time under our belts and things are going great!
We've been doing a lot more work in getting the members with us and it's making a big difference with our relationship with the ward. This week was quite eventful though. On Saturday we had a pretty big lesson with Teresa, She is a lady who has been through A LOT in her life. She is a crazy tough women and could really use the gospel. Missionaries have been finding her where ever she goes. When we started teaching her things would not sink in, at all...we would teach one point at a time of the plan of salvation and then review it. By the next time we saw her she'd forgotten it. But just recently she read Lehi's dream and could describe and give the interpretation of it! It was an amazing change, It reminds me a lot of the change that we (Elder Vittanen and I) saw in Yaneth! She has come to church three weeks now! and every time is opening up more and more. But we had a lesson with her on Wed. about the word of wisdom because she is overcoming smoking. Elder Viitanen brought out a good thought about what's causing her to smoke and how she has some pain that (makes) wants her (want) to smoke, so we set up an atonement lesson and left her some scriptures to read. We planned a bomb lesson for her. So Sat. before the lesson Elder Viitanen gets sick and passes out and just drops on the porch of an appointment haha. He was so out of it...I think it was just Heat Exhaustion and dehydration but we made it home and had about an hour before the appointment. He was down to come and just sit there but it really wasn't a good idea since he couldn't remember the last half hour of his life. But we got some other elders who didn't have plans to come with us and we exchanged for the appointment. They were English elders but it was ok because we had some members! It was such a good lesson!!!! So spiritual! She will be getting baptized on the 27th! :)
