Fabulous February!


On the bus together
Labas Rytas!
We had such a great week- it was really awesome. Sister Bestenlehner and I were able to do a lot of knocking, and that is always super fun. It is always cool to see who will open the door-an old Russian bob or someone that is not a bob :) We met some pretty great people. One nice lady let us in and gave us her grapes out of her fridge. She was super sweet to us, not interested in the gospel, but such a good person.
We found part of Dome Land!
The weather has been amazing. Pretty much all of the snow has melted, and it looks so different here! There is green grass somehow, and no more white stuff. It feels a lot warmer outside, so I am loving that! We got a lot of rain :)
We were able to visit past a couple of less actives this week, which is always really cool to do. Part of a less active family came to church and has been doing really well. We are happy to see progress with them. 
On Saturday we got to do service as a district, my first time doing official service on the mission! It was so strange to be in pants-it has been so long.

We got to go to the food bank, and they assigned us to repackage and stack coffee. We were kind of hesitant, but that is what they needed done. They don't usually have coffee, but this had been stolen and retrieved at the border. So they brought it there. It was fun to be together and serve.
Here is what we did-packaging and stacking....coffee
On Sunday, Sister Bestenlehner and I got to talk to the YW about deleting negative thoughts in our mind and focusing on our true identity and divine nature as children of God. It was so fun to be back there with the YW. I love that program- such good memories. They learn such essantial things that have truly helped me and blessed my life.
We were given an investigator from the sisters- one I had with Sister Madison. He has kind of disappeared, so we hope to be able to meet with him and help him with his smoking addiction. 
I am grateful for this time i have to serve. The Lord has taught me so much about His atonement and doing His will. I am grateful that I can change and become better every day. God wants us to feel His love and not fear. Simple to come unto Him. We can do this and change into better people than we were yesterday. God is always there. We can use the atonement everyday. 
I love you all. Have a wonderful week!
Love Sese Dzerman!
