Last Few Days in the MTC!


​My teachers Sis Fish and Ruiz. Love them
​Sis Webb's last day.

Labas!
It has been an awesome week! It was kind of weird to say goodbye to everyone, but we have had a fun week here.  On Monday, the 9 Estonian Elders and 2 Russian Elders left with our 2 Latvians and 1 Lithuanian (Elder Lyon) from the MTC.  They are now in the Baltics, which is so exciting!  The Estonians and Russians weren't in our zone, but we saw the Estonians a lot because they had class right by us.  Elder Lyon's visa came and allowed him to enter the country the 15th.  Elder Hassell's visa hasn't come, so he went by himself to serve in Chicago for a transfer until it comes.  We 4 stayed here another week because our visas won't let us enter the country til the 22nd.  But that means we are going on Tuesday!!! Our flight plans came!! We leave early Tuesday morning.  We report to the travel office at 3:30 am to travel to the SLC airport.  Then our flight leaves from there at about 8.  We fly to Chicago and get there at about 12 pm. We only have about an hour layover before we fly to Frankfurt Germany!!  Then a short flight to Riga, Latvia and then probably a bus ride down to Lithuania.  We are so excited.  
I am still companions with Sister Kaleopa; she is the best.  We miss Sister Webb though.  In class it is just Elder Seegmiller, Jones, Waters, and I.  It is a lot quieter because all the classrooms are empty around us except for the Finns at the end of the hallway.  We have lots of fun though.  We get to travel in a fourpanionship, so that will be fun!
For Tuesday night devotional, Sister Wixom, the General Primary President, came to speak with us.  It was very cool.  I learned that as we seek God's help, we will be strengthened to carry our load.  Becuase Sister Kaleopa said the closing prayer, we got to give her a hug after the devotional ended.  After I told her where I was going on my mission, she said she was coming to Lithuania in October!  Like next month, right after I get there! Super exciting.
I know that Heavenly Father loves each of us and expresses that love to us everyday.  He cares about what we do and think.  We can love others more as we love Christ more.  As we trust in Him, we can do all things!
I love you all so much! 
Love, Sese Dzerman
