Loving Klaipeda!

On our way to Klaipeda, tons of wind mills :)
With Sister Walles on the bus to Klaipeda!

Hi Family!!!
Sister Walles and I have just loved our first week here in Klaipeda. It is an amazing place already. We took the four hour trip here on Wednesday and have been having an adventure. We are in the Klaipeda south area, so the Elders have the north part of the city. It is pretty small here, which is definitley different. There aren't a lot of people on the buses so we were able to do some walking around our area. We live right next to a great park where there are lots of people to talk to. It has been warm and awesome each night to go out and find people on the streets. We truly are so blessed to get to serve here. We just love our ward members. 
On Sunday we were able to meet a lot of them, and they are all so loving. We received tons of hugs and love, especially since most of the members are single sisters and now there are sister missionaries serving here. We also got to meet with a progressing investigator on Sunday who is soon moving to Kaunas this week to start school. It was quite a blessing to be able to talk about scripture study in general. We all together came up with the resolution and importance of studying the scriptures each morning. I love seeing each day how something will relate back to my scripture study. Truly remembering what we pondered that morning will help us have such a happier day because we are prepared to have one.
 In Sacrament Meeting, Sister Walles and I were able to bear our testimonies to the members. I am so in love with all of the people here. On Saturday we were able to do service at an older lady's house by helping her in her beautiful garden. She made Lithuanian zuchini blynai for us, which was super delicious. The next day we went knocking in that area among houses and knocked into a house with a dad playing the piano with his wife and daughter. They were just in Klaipeda for the summer and are headed back to Vilnius this week, but we were able to talk about God being in our lives through music and many other ways. Although they aren't interested, it was a blessing to be able to testify of God to this cool family. Miracles happen every day. I know that to be true. I love you all so much! 
Love Sese Dzerman!
My trainees are sending me off to Klaipeda, our last moment together
