Nothing too crazy happened this week. Last Monday we were walking on the streets and this American couple stopped us and guess where they were from?? South Jordan, Utah!! Super crazy. Anyways, we gave them a tour of the church building and they were super nice and took us and one of our members to dinner. It was so fun. Tuesday we went to the other church building in Imanta and helped some Russian members set up for a wedding reception. It was really fun hahaha and then later in the week we went back again to help haha. On Wednesday I got my new companions yay! Masa Luisa is the beeesstt. I love her and she is such a great missionary and I have already learned so much from her. And being with Sister Goodell in a trio is the funnest thing ever and we are always laughing. We have this thing we say TOAST. Which stands for Taking On Awkward Situations Together and it has made it the best week because we make all situations great and have been talking to so many people. It's so fun.
Thursday we went to Jekabs and it was so fun haha, I love Jekabs. He has helped me with the language a lot. He can be kind of rude sometimes haha but I feel the most comfortable talking in front of him because he just wants to help me and see how much I improve each time. He's the best. But this time was one of the funnest times with him.
When we were in Imanta they have lots of extra fans and so we took one to bring back to our apartment. But we ended up caring that fan all over Riga for a couple hours haha. I think it made more people stop for us though because we looked so funny haha.
Sunday we had to go to both the Russian branch and Latvian and it was fun. I love being in a zebra trio, we can reach so many more people this week and I am so excited for this transfer I think I will grow a lot as a missionary and in the language with Masa Lusia's help. She really is amazing and is such a good missionary.
This week was full of fun times and lots of learning. One question we ask people on the streets is what makes them happy and it's so incredible when people actually answer us because their answers really do mean a lot to us and this week was no different. One lady said balance helps her and I thought a lot about it and it really does bring a lot of happiness when we have our lives balanced and especially when Christ is in the center of our lives. To go along with this I read a scripture this week about how much God gives us even though He asks so little of us. And when we put those things first in our lives we will receive so many blessings and happiness.
God loves each one of us and it shows in the Book of Mormon. When I want to feel His love I read the Book of Mormon and I know you all can feel it to as you read it.
Have a great week and a great fourth! Watch extra fireworks for me haha. Love you all and thank you for all the support!
Love,
Masa Brunere
