God is a God of miracles!

Sveiki! Sveiki! 

I hope everyone had the best week!!

This was a week of finding miracles!! It was so good and I'm just so grateful for Heavenly Father and for His plan for each one of us. His timing might not always make sense but it's always what we need! 

We had this new idea to visit all the addresses we have from the area book of former investigators. So on Tuesday, in the hard pouring, bone soaking rain, we got to Marupe. It's a nicer part where everyone basically lives in houses. So we start looking for the addresses just to realize how far they are apart from each other haha. We were basically just walking through the woods in the dark and the rain and our map got destroyed haha. But it was good to give those people another chance! But knocking at the gate of someone's house is definitely more intimidating haha.

Thursday I was with Sister Sedivy because our companions were in Belarus and it was the best!! The weather was soooo nice!! and the sun was shinning and there were so many people!! It was a miracle! We stopped this one lady and immediately she recognized us and wants a Book of Mormon! Hopefully we are meeting with her today!! And then we did one of our less active drop-bys that missionaries have been doing for the last yearish and her son answers the door a lot and is always really nice but this time he asked us why we always stop by. We explained to him that we love everyone and God loves everyone and we want to share that love. Then he asked us how he can learn about it!!! He was so excited about it and we are so excited about it!! Honestly a miracle!!! Things just take time but God always has a plan!! 

We also tried some new whiteboarding ideas this week to get to talking about the Book of Mormon quicker and it was so cool! I had some of the coolest conversations about the Book of Mormon and how it really does help everyone and we really do need to read it! I love it! We took pages of the Book of Mormon and had them read it and mark every time Kristus was mentioned to show we are Christian and one lady loved it and we were talking for a long time about it and then her friend came up and had been talking to another missionary and started telling me how peaceful she felt while reading. Then they were like okay we gotta go! They hugged me and left, so sad we didn't get the info but they will find it!! 

Yesterday was 100 years of Latvija!!! It was so good! In church we sang the national anthem and I just love Latvija! At night we were inside but from our apartment we could see the fireworks!! It was so great! I love Latvija and I love being here!! 

I hope everyone has a great week and a great Thanksgiving!!! I love you all!!

Love,
Masa Brunere
