Klaipeda!!!!!

Labas Rytas!!!
On Monday we were able to meet with and talk to a lot of new people. I love this opportunity that I have to talk with the people here in Klaipeda. They truly are a special people and living in such a beautiful place. I just feel very grateful for this opportunity to testify of Christ and know that we can all share Christ's love every day as we go about doing good. On Tuesday we were able to teach our english class to the three sweetest men. They are fairly good at english and are such humble people. I am astounded in their testimonies of God, even if they attend other churches. That night we stopped by a less active, and she let us in! We were able to talk about the atonment with her and her nonmember boyfriend. It was great to feel the spirit in their home.
On Wednesday we were able to do lots of calls and then travel to Kaunas for an exchange in Vilnius. I was able to serve with and learn from Sister Foote, a Russian speaking missionary. It was really cool to be able to use both languages to meet people on the street. 

Traveling back to Klaipeda from Zone Training in Vilnius with the district

Pretty sunset from the bus :)

On Friday we had zone training in Vilnius, where we talked about faith, hope, and charity. I love charity so much! Haha, imagine that! It is cool how our charity drives us to serve others and share the gospel. It also inspires us to set goals in life so that we can progress and therefore help others to progress also. It is a quality that Christ showed perfectly, and one that I would hope to someday obtain :) But through the atonement, we really can improve and become better people step by step. On Saturday we were actually able to have a short lesson with a cute Catholic family. The grandma left half way through, but the children were so cute to listen and learn. They are very believing and aren't sure why other kids don't believe in God. They were raised really well! 
I know that God exists and is there everyday of our lives. If we let Him in, He will raise us higher than we can expect. I love this gospel because it is here for us. I love you all!
Love sese Dzerman!
