Spring Time is here!

Lithuania is all green and yellow! Spring is so pretty here! There is green grass everywhere and tons of dandelions for everyone to enjoy. I just love being here and seeing it all, can't believe how warm and great the weather is!
Dandelions on the way to the Kaunas church building.

There are so many dandelions here! They are so pretty, I love them.

Our view from the Vilnius apartment today.

This week was just super aweomse and busy. We were in Kaunas all week and able to meet with a couple of investigators. We also got to do service at a member's soda or garden and help him clean out his house.

Making a bird house for Povalis, a member, at his soda (in Kaunas)

This is his living room, he lived here for 15 years at one point in his life.

This is the other room. We torn down paper from the celing to clear out and cleaned up.

Then on Friday we traveled to Vilnius to meet with some investigators.
This is what happens when you travel a lot I guess.
We had a lesson with Rojus, which means paradise, and he is super solid. He has come to church three times now. He says he will start living the word of wisdom immediately and just knows that what we are teaching is the truth. We are super excited for him. We also met with another investigator who is close to committing to a baptismal date. After he prayed in the beginning of the lesson he told us about this strange and great feeling he had. He thought he was on drugs, but we of course explained that it was the spirit. It was so cool for me because I have never had anyone identify the spirit like that in a lesson before. I know the spirit is real and testifies of truth if we are worhty of him. We were also able to meet with a Nigerian who committed to baptism, so we hope that we can contnue to meet with him. Pray that all these investigators can continue to progress and come unto Christ.  All that can be said is that God truly does lead His church here on the earth. I could not do anything without the help of the spirit. I know that is so essential in our lives because He leads and guides us. 
On Saturday we traveled back to Kaunas to serve at the high school where we play soccer drills with adorable kids. on Sunday. It was so great seeing my wonderful famliy on Sunday, Love you all!
Then I loved seeing all of the Kaunas members in church
Love Sese Dzerman

Cool fountain on Laisves Aleja street in Kaunas where we live.

Eating at Talutti's Tex Mex in Kaunas (much better than the shake and bake)

Elder Kurtis joined us wishing Happy Birthday to Sis Hodson.

Laisves Aleja is so long!

There is the bridge again.

And a mirror selfie I guess.

Language thought with cake because Sister Hodson is 20.

Our view from our patio at the Kaunas apartment on Laisves Aleja.

This is our super nice Vilnius apartment with green grass!

Crossing the three crosswalks from our house.

Shopping at Urmas in Kaunas, tons of little shops down a huge line like a train station.

Trying to be funny.

We are not sure what sis Griffin is doing.
