Happy Easter!

We had a really great week this past week! It was crazy fast as usual. We were able to make some Easter eggs for our members for Easter.

 We also had choir practice a couple times this week as missionaries to sing on Saturday and Sunday. On Saturday was the Easter Activity for the branch. We watched the new videos from the church for Easter, and us missionaries got to act in a little play. It was about Christ and His light that He gives to the world. He grants each of us His atonement, so that we can repent and be clean. What a great blessing!

On Thursday we got to travel to Kaunas for Zone Training. That was the first time I have ever done that!

We talked about consecration as missionaries and how our motivation should come because of Christ. He truly is the reason for all we are able to do. 

On Friday we were able to do service and then visit a member later that day. She gave us onion boiled eggs for Easter. That is how Lithuanians color their eggs; it is super cool. They love their onions :)

On Saturday we were also able to visit the KGB Museum, about the history of the Lithuanian people during and after World War 2. It was very humbling to learn about their past and all that they went through as a people.

For Easter we ate dinner at a member's house.

We were able to focus on Christ and truly celebrate His resurrection. It is such a blessing that He truly lives today for each one of us. He suffered, died, and lives again so that each of us can receive peace and happiness in this life every day. And so that we can live forever with our families after this life. I know that God loves and knows each of us. He sent His son because He loves us. Christ is always there to lift and help us each day. 

I love you all so much. Have a wonderful week!
