Fall Already?

Sveiki! I hope everyone's week was great!

Lots happened this week which made for a great week. Last Monday was definitely my favorite Pday so far. We went and played mini golf and this dinky looking course but it was soooo fun and actually really hard haha. After we rented these cart things and it was like real life Mario Kart it was so fun haha. After we rented normal bikes but we didn't make too far when an elders bike broke twice and Sister Vail almost died when hers broke too so we went back and got ice cream instead haha. 

Tuesday we met with Dace and Laine and both lessons went really good. I love them both so much. Dace is progressing so great. We went to the Bloomfields house and had dinner with them and Dace which was really fun. 

Wednesday we went to a members house and then fed us hot beet soup and it was soooooo good. I was kinda scared to try it but it was the best haha. Sister Vail and I also got separated this week haha. I got off the bus and she wasn't able to so she got off at the next stop and walked back to me. It sounds un-exciting but it was soo funny haha. 

Thursday we had a lesson with Elina. She is the cutest and just accepts everything so well and I love getting to know her better each time.

Friday we had a mini bible bashing lesson? haha it was weird, but we were in the park this week and someone came up and talked to us. Turns out he was a missionary for another church and asked to meet with us. So we got two of the elders and had a meeting with him and his friends and just talked about what we believed. They both took Book of Mormons too!

Saturday I was on exchange with Sister Goodell and we had a party. We went to Imanta and had 10 people we needed to go and visit. The first miracle is we found all 10 apartments. Second miracle, we got into every apartment building but one! All the apartment buildings have codes on them and so if you don't have it you basically wait for someone to come out, call someone, or try and break in. It was cool though because we got in after we did all we could do. There was one lady standing on her balcony at one of the doors so I asked her if she would give us the code because we needed to give our friend a gift, she just looked at me like I was crazy and went back inside, but then someone came out and we got in! God was watching out for us that day. Only one person actually answered their door but she was so sweet and we got her number so the whole day was worth it just to meet her. 

This week we also met with someone in their bathroom. She was an online referral and she invited us in when we gave her a Book of Mormon and we talked in her bathroom haha. It was an interesting week, but such a fun week with lots of laughs. Latvija is the greatest place and I am so grateful to be here!

This week got a little colder too! We had to break out our sweaters! but it should be back up to really hot weather again this week!

I finished the Book of Mormon this week and took Moroni's promise and as I read part of Moroni again my answer came very clearly and I know that the Book of Mormon is the word of God and we will all come closer to Him through reading it. I find so much joy and happiness in it. I love the Book of Mormon and I'm so grateful I get to read it everyday and share it with others. 

I love you all! Have a great week!

Love,
