I
don't have a ton of time so I'll keep details minimal. Elder Bednar's visit was
really cool. He had a presence to him that boldly stated prophet, seer, and
revelator. He said to us that he typically doesn't shake hands because when
that happens noise breaks out and the Spirit of the meeting is lost. He then
asked us after that intro whether we thought we should shake hands or not. One
missionary raised his hand after about 30 seconds of waiting in silence and
said that he thought we could manage it. So, yes, I shook his hand. After we
finished he walked to the pulpit and simply said "Well done." Then
left. So we felt good about that.
Elder Breinholt was doing well with his
health in this week so hopefully things stay that way. That family of 7 is
super super awesome. The couple isn't married and the mom is married to another
guy so legally and with the law of Chastity we'll face obstacles, but the whole
family is way nice.
I have some Christmas music, but I'm not opposed to more.
The new Nashville Tribute album would of course be nice.
That was indeed Elder
Lovaas and Elder Ahumada in the picture.
Today we just helped new missionaries
get settled all day so it wasn't much of a p-day, but it was cool to see the
excitement that they all had. They'll be good missionaries. We're sending home
4 missionaries this change because they finished, but we also lose 5 to
disobedience/sickness/lack of desire.
The best part of the week was just seeing
the success we had because we didn't have a ton of time to work, but things
really came together for us. I smelled a cool thing in a house the other day,
but I don't know what it's called. A little 4(ish) year old member came up to
us the other day and offered us a piece of cake so that was something good that
I tasted. I suppose that was a neat little tender mercy as well. It also made
me smile. (I'm out of time)
Love,
Elder Finlinson
