Loving Lithuania

Our fun bowling party with crazy stuff! Sister Nuttall
Labas!
This week was just super great!
We started off with transfer calls! Sister Madison and I are staying in Vilnius, which is what we were expecting since i am training. I am super happy to stay here. We were told to move this week though into a different apartment. So that took quite a bit of time, but we made it. Now we live a lot closer to the church, which is super nice. We might not be living in our area anymore, but we just ride on over to it.  We have the best apartment in the mission because it used to belong to a senior couple that lived here. So you could say we are living the life here in Lithuania! Sister Madison is also Sister Training leader, so that will be exciting.
With Sister Madison on Gedemenos Street in old town Vilnius, so gorgeous!
Cool white cathedral in the back
This past week we met with Jonas, our awesome investigator! He met with the missionaries about two years ago and was really interested but too busy to meet again. So now he has a little time to meet with us once a week. He is so amazing because he has awesome questions and is truly an honest seeker. He accepts what we teach him and works to read the Book of Mormon at least thirty minutes everyday! He wants to finish it by the second week of December. We are so grateful to have to the opportunity to teach him.  He has been prepared by the Lord. We are excited to continue meeting with him. 
I got to see Elder Hassell, one of my teaching companions from the MTC, because he is now serving in Vilnius! He got here on Tuesday, so it has been so fun to see him.
Elder Hassell finally made it after a few weeks in Chicago!
The other sister companion ship along with us are in a district with the Russian Elders now because there are so many of us. The five Lithuanian Elders are in their own district, so that keeps it interesting. 
We have had a great week talking with people and enjoying the nice weather.
Beautiful leaves by our house. Fall is so pretty here!
I know that God is preparing people for the gospel. If we are willing to open our mouths and share it with them, their lives will be deeply blessed. I know that God is moving His work forward in His way and time. I know that he wants each of us to return to Him. I love all of you so much!
