First, sorry I don't have a clever email subject line. I am disappointed about it, but ko lai dara? But this week was so good! I love being here in Riga! It is honestly the best.
Last week for pday after emailing we went to Old Town. It was so fun! We went to a few shops and found this amazing place to eat. It's called Bubble Waffle. It's a waffle with bubbles and they put food into the bubbles and then they put things like ice cream with it. So so good. If it's in America, go!! Then we played sand volleyball with my district which was fun too. It was a great first pday!
One of my favorite things so far is English Night. We have about 6-8 older people come to learn English and it is so fun. This week we taught them words about health and we sang head, shoulders, knees, and toes and did the hokey pokey with them. Haha so fun and cute. I am so glad they are willing to do riddiculous things with us!!
We also visted a member this week, her name is Velta. She is so sweet! I love her so much. She fed us and she taught us how to make these bead bracelets and it's honestly a miracle I learned how to because I was having the hardest time understanding her Latvian, but I learned and I love to do it haha. It was so fun being able to spend time with her.
This week we also served in a soup kitchen! It was so fun! We served them their food, but I mainly helped clean and dry the dishes which was fun haha. I got to meet a lot of the people who serve there every week. And they all spoke in English so I understand it all!
We had another lesson with Zane this week and it was such a good lesson. She knows it's true just doesn't know if she can live everything for her whole life. She is the sweetest though. I love her and can't wait to see how everything will go with her.
We had two pass of lessons this week also. Which means the Russians found two investigators but they speak Latvian so we teach them now. The first lady is named Liga. She has such strong faith in God and hearing her say she finds answers in the bible was so cool. She was so for the Book of Mormon but then read some things online and we aren't really sure she'll keep meeting, so sad. it made me really grateful for my testimony of the Book of Mormon. Then we met Paula and she is the best. She loves to talk and expound on all her answers, which is rare here and is so cool! I love her.
This week was full of so much fun and lots of learning. I love being here in Latvija with all the members and meeting new people!
1 Nephi 21:16 Christ loves us and died for us. I am so grateful for HIm and to be wearing his name everyday!
Have a great week!
Love,
Masa Brunere
