Sister Kellie Bruner in Latvia: Please pray for the health of Latvija

Sveiki!

I hope everyone had a great week and a great Valentine's Day! This week was super great!

Last week we went to the sea and walked this pier thing and it was so fun! By the end of it we were in the middle of the sea haha but it was so beautiful! I love being so close to the sea! Then Monday night we had FHE we with the Beldavi! I love them and it's so fun to be with them.

We also met with Lilita this week, one of our members, and she was sooo funny we were laughing the whole time. She also loves music so we always sing her songs from America because she loves those the most haha.

Wednesday we had an exchange with the Russian sisters and we ran to the sea in the morning. It was cold and rainy but soo fun!! Also, sad story. My favorite restaurant we are pretty sure has closed down which was sad haha.

Then Valentine's Day!! It was a great day and Masa Luisa made it great too. We had lots of fun. We met with one of our members Zenija and she taught me how to knit! Well, the beginning of it and I'm not very good at it haha but I will get better! We also had a lesson with a former investigator Svetlana and she has the cutest little kitty! But she's also the cutest!

We also met with Marta this week and she is getting baptized on Saturday and she is so excited! It was so cute to see her at church yesterday just go look at the baptismal font. She is the cutest!

Saturday we had the coolest lesson! Her name is Olvija. We talked to her on the streets this week and met with her and talked about the Restoration and she accepted to read the Book of Mormon and continue meeting us. I am so excited!!

We also meet with Maija. She moved here from Indonesia and she makes the best food! She always has so much but it's so good. We also teach her Latvian which has also been the best!

The weather was also so nice this week! There was one day we didn't need our hats or scarves! And the sun is shining brightly! Monday was a nice day so we went out without our hats and scarves as well but walking home after the Beldavi it was so super windy and raining pretty hard. We basically ran the whole way home because we got soaked and we were cold haha.

Also, all of Latvija is sick I'm pretty sure haha. Most lessons we had this week were canceled due to sickness haha.

This week I want to share some verses we read with our members this week for Valentine's Day. Romans 8:35,38-39

"Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come., Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

Nothing can stop Christ from loving us. His love and help is without end. Turn to Him! This week my testimony was strengthened that He is always there and always loves us and always PERFECTLY understands us. I love sharing this gospel and telling everyone about Him. I love Him and His gospel and I love Latvija!!

Have a great week! Thank you for everything!

Love,

Masa Brunere
