I hope everyone had the best week and is enjoying all the snow in Utah! It has been like spring here! Just rain and not too cold!
Last Pday we ended up going to the police station again to get interrogated again but all is good now and we won't have to go back wahoo!! But then we got sushi! It was my first time ever trying it and it was pretty good!!
Tuesday night we headed to Riga for an exchange. So I got to spend Wednesday with Masa Teilore!!! It was the best. I love her to death and it was such a blessing to be able to spend a day with her again!
Thursday we had a lesson with Lita. She's the best and coolest. She sends us inspirational texts throughout the week and wants to serve a mission! Right now she the branch missionary and is the best!! I love her and is the best missionary! And she's going to the temple in March!!! I'm so excited for her!
Friday turned out to be a crazy day haha. We went and visited our member Ausma in the hospital. She's the cutest! and then we were supposed to have a lesson, but she didn't show up but then we got a call that all the Relief Society leaders were sick and that we needed to run the activity. The activity was on Pioneers and we read some pioneer stories and then made a cake they ate. So we had to translate the stories and recipe and then run to the store to buy all the things. Then we had a lesson with Marta! She's the cutest! She's excited for baptism still, a little nervous but she knows it's what Christ has asked for us! Then we had the activity! It went good! The cake took a long time to bake haha but it turned out good! One of our members even made it the next day for her family!!
Saturday!! We were visiting one of our members in the morning and coming back from it we talked to one lady. As we were talking to her, her bus left and the next one didn't come for another two hours so we walked to the church and met with her then! She took a Book of Mormon and it was an awesome experience! Then later that night we went to the Beldavi! They are my some of my favorite! We have family home evening with them once a week and we even have a chart for what each one of us does. But one of the boys loves to dance and Sister Lewis and I made up a new dance move called the Karosta and we told him about it and this week he had a dance move ready so we all practiced it and made a film. Basically we are all going to be famous for starting a new dance move haha.
Sundays are also my favorite here. Before church we had a lesson with Ina and we were reading the Introduction of the Book of Mormon with her because she knows the Book of Mormon is true and we wanted to help her connect that with her testimony of Joseph Smith and the church. She reads and then stops us and tells us "Girls we have read this like 5 times now. I know the Book of Mormon is true. No doubt about that. I'm a teacher too so let's move on. Teach me something new!" We tried teaching her the Plan of Salvation but she had already read the pamphlet and knows that's true too so we talked about Baptism and she wants to be baptized! She was talking to Marta about it and was like maybe we will get baptized the same day! As much as we want that we have to still teach her all the lessons haha. But she the coolest!! After church we have a meeting with our Branch President, but we always go last so we always have time to just hang out with the kids and yesterday we played red light, green light and it was so fun! I love the branch here. I can't say it enough! But it's the best!!
One thing I have learned this week is how powerful the Book of Mormon is and how much I love it! If you haven't read it with President Nelson's challenge with marking every time Christ's name is mentioned I encourage you do to it! Male or Female! The spirit that it brings is so different, in such a wonderful way! It will strengthen your testimony of the Book of Mormon and of Christ!!
I hope everyone has the best week! Thank you for everything!!
Love,
Masa Brunere
