Hello everyone!

It has been a super awesome week over here in Lithuania! On Monday we ran over to the Prisikelima Baznycia to finish seeing Kaunas for our last time. Then we had a skype lesson with Rojus. Luckily he is doing better than before and is not so full of doubt. We hope to see some progression with him :) We were then able to play sand volleyball and strett hockey with our district which was a blast. That night we helped to teach family night over at the Bruce's. A few older single members came and also our investigator Raimondas. He has such a solid testimony of the gospel, it is incredible. He blows me away. He was found and taught about 3 years ago but is still waiting for parental approval. I know that a path will be prepared for him!

On Tuesday we had district meeting and then traveled to Vilnius so we could pick up my passport, woops :) Then we headed off to Riga where we met the Latvian sisters that night. We got to be with Sister Webb, my mtc compaion! It was so great seeing her. We stayed with her that night and then we all got our trainees that next morning!

My cute new trainees in centre coming to email today :)

I am serving with Sister Wuthrich and Day! They are the best companions ever; I love them so much already. Sister Wuthrich is from Bountiful and is super amazing. Sister Day is from American Fork, and they both are super hilarious. They definelty make me laugh every day :) After our training we headed back to Vilnius. That night we met with Indre for the first time. When she learned that we wanted to meet with her to talk about the gospel, she was not interested. But after about a week she texted saying that there was something she felt she needed to change in her life. We were like, okay! That has definintely not happened before, so that was super awesome. She really wants to read the Book of Mormon to figure out what is in it, so we are excited to meet again.

On Thursday we met with an investigaotr from the north area, the elders old area. There are only two Lithuaninan elders now in Vilnius, so we will be taking over one of their old areas. The two still here are also covering two areas, center and west. He  basically tried to convert us to his religion, but it was good. We also met with Danas, who plans on being baptized in three weeks! We are very excited. He is making good progress, still not solid on accepting that he has received his direct answer from God but willling to move forward and keep working. That night we met with a girl who is also an investigator from the north area. She has multi personality disorder, so that kind of came out int he lesson. It was pretty interesting and quite an experience for my new trainees to say the least. She was herself and she spoke as God. When she is just herself, which is most of the time, she is an amazing investigator who is ready to be baptized. We will have to keep meeting with her to figure out the severity of her condition. But it was pretty great :)On Friday we did service at the food bank by bagging up corn and grain for animals. No coffee! Then we went to family home evening that night with Danas to play croquet. He gets along with evryone so well and is super awesome. He is really funny and super easy going. We met with him again on Saturday. He stopped drinking black tea and is faithfully keeping God's commandments even though he is still not sure. Such a great example to me. We hope to help him progress in his testimony of God so that he can receieve all the blessings taht come after baptism for the rest of eternity. On Sunday we met with a girl named Season from Napal. She is so cute. She wanted to come and pray with us in our church, so we were able to teach about prayer. 

I truly do know that we can communicate with our Father through prayer and that he does respond to every question and concern and feeling that we have. He cares so deeply for us. He knows us so much better that we know ourselves. I know that He is our Father and loves us more than we can ever know. Through daily repentance we can become clean and change for the better. This is so crucial in our lives every day. I love you all so much Love Sese Dzerman :)
