I hope everyone had a great week!! It got super hot here this week and we have been dying of heat, but I love it!! It makes everything even more exciting!
Last Monday we had the funnest Pday ever! We went to Mežaparks and rented out some bikes. Since Sister Boswell's knee still isn't doing great we rented a kart where there were two sets of pedals but I was just going to pedal but turned out to be a little harder than I thought it would be haha. So some of the elders and I had a rotation going down and then we also had longboards and would just ride alongside, but it was so fun! Elder Wright also made a cherry pie for it and it was the best thing ever. That night we went to FHE in Imanta and played volleyball and ate s'mores. But we didn't get home until 10:20 that night because of how far it is and the trams work slower at night haha. But it was a great day!
Tuesday we were able to give 4 Book of Mormons away! We went whiteboarding and the second we walked up someone was already looking at the whiteboard and I was still holding all the things for it, but I knew I needed to talk to her so I literally just dropped everything and started talking to her. Well, we ended up having a conversation that lasted over an hour and we talked about the Book of Mormon and how it works with the Bible. She also talked to me about the fears she has and all her deep thoughts. The love God has for her was so strong in that conversation and the Holy Ghost was able to help me know how to best help her. We talked a few days later and she didn't believe something that she read in the Book of Mormon because she didn't think went with the Bible but we were able to send her verses to see they truly do work together. God gave us the Book of Mormon to help us overcome this confusing world and find truth. I love the Book of Mormon!!!
Wednesday we had zone conference!! It was so good and we learned so much of how we can do even better! That night we also went to Liga's house and had a fun night with a good lesson with her! She is killing it! She will be going to the temple in August!! And she bore her testimony last Sunday in church. She's the best!
Thursday we had a lesson with Anita which was great! She is still doing great and she now brings up her baptism each time we meet! We also had dinner with the šostaki! They are some of my favorite people here. We were walking to their apartment when the loudest thunder went off though. All three of us literally jumped and it shook the ground! And we got inside just as it started pouring too. Blessing! But lessons with them are my favorite because they end up teaching us and giving us people they feel need more love. They are the best member missionaries!
Friday we were able to meet with Sandra! She is the best! Spending time with her is so fun. We are setting up a time to do family history with her! We also had sports night this week which was fun. Lizzie and another girl from Norway was able to come and it was super fun.
Saturday we went to the soup kitchen!! It was so fun and then we went to lunch after and that was also great and after we had a lesson with Dace. She is still doing great and growing her testimony every week!
And yesterday Anita came to the baptism we had and church! It was so great! It was so great to finally have her be there! There was a baptism yesterday morning for a returning members son! It was super great and fun to see it!
I love this work so much!! It is the best thing. I love being a missionary and being able to share Christ's love and gospel with everyone. This gospel is true and this is Christ's church! I'm so grateful for my knowledge for it! Thank you for all you do and for the support. Have a great week!
Love,
