It's been another good week here. Rochester is beginning to turn into fall very quickly! We have had lots of rain and thunder storms this week and the weather is definitely cooling down. I love it :)
Before I forget, my Bishop's niece is going to the Yakima, Washington mission spanish speaking leaving December 5th! Watch out for Anna Lamb in a few months, Joe! Her dad is a football coach for BYU.
It's been crazy! Tuesday night we drove with the Elders to La Crosse, WI. We were supposed to meet up with the senior couple there Wednesday morning after District Council, but because of storm damage and everything they weren't able to make it. Sister Hopkins and I didn't have our car or anything, so we didn't really know what to do all day by ourselves. We decided to just go tracting and get some other work done and stuff! It ended up being a good day. We were sad we couldn't meet with the senior couple but everything worked out fine.
We also had exchanges with the Rochester 5th sisters on Thursday. Sister White came to this area and we had a great time together :) She is so sweet!
Well... A lady called the cops on us last night...
I had my first encounter with the police on my mission! At 8:30 PM, we knocked on a potential's door. The dog was barking like crazy, so we just decided to knock twice and leave. We got back in our car and finished sending out a couple texts, when 4 police cars drove right in front of the house and got their dogs out and started walking around her whole house. We sat in our car and were like "Uhhhh they may have just called on us hahaha." So we hesitated to go out, but finally we decided to just go out and talk to them. Officer Daley brought us to the sidewalk and got our ID's and ministerial certificates and talked to us. The lady had just moved there that day so she was just scared. We felt so bad! The officer was really nice though, thank goodness. I don't think that 2 youngish girls walking up in skirts and dresses is that intimidating lol. Maybe we won't knock on her door at night😉
This past week I had to give 3 trainings in 3 different district councils! It was a lot of fun and was really good for me to be able to study different topics. I love teaching and learning new things.
We're working with some really awesome people right now, all between the ages of 21 and 27. They are all just looking for something more in their life and are wanting to make changes. It's been way awesome! Kind of interesting to work with people that are close to our age haha.
Tonight we will be driving up to Bloomington and staying with the Barney's for MLC tomorrow! I'm stoked. It's going to be a great week :)

Love you all! Have a great last week at home Joe. I am so thoroughly exctied for him and the adventure he has. Missions are the best. I love mine so much and I am so grateful to be a missionary! Everyday I get to testify of Jesus Christ and the Book of Mormon. It's changed my life. I am just so grateful to be here. Please send me your talk! There's a kid in our ward that's giving his farewell talk this Sunday as well and his mom asked me to play a musical number for him so I'll be doing that. You guys are the best!
Love Hermana Nissinen
