A Short One for the Masses

 Hello Everyone!


I don't have a lot of time today. The next two days will be extremely bus because drumroll.......I'm leaving Vilnius. I've been in Vilnius my entire time I've been in Lithuania (9-10ish months) so they decided it's finally time to kick me out. I'm sad to leave because I have friends who are members and non-members. Vilnius is always gonna be my home. I'm going to Panevėžys which is a brand new area to the mission. It doesn't have a church building or any members so there's a lot of potential. I really hope I get along (I'm confident I will) with my companion because it's just gonna be me and him in the city. 

Here are some pictures from the last little bit.

Week 34- Tut Tut, Looks like Rain

  Hello Everybody, Short Version: The fall rainy season is starting. Sometimes there is a continual rain that goes all day and makes me feel like a vegetable in the produce aisle that gets that slight, yet continual shower of mist. Our friend Ignas is still progressing. We sang the Star Spangled Banner with him this week because he wanted to show us how he knew the words and the music to our National Anthem. Now me and Elder Sieverts need to learn the Lithuanian anthem.  Long Version: This week went by super fast. We were bouncy around from appointment to appointment, which makes things a lot more fun. There's nothing worse than having no lessons and no appointments because that means we have to do Facebook all day. Ugh.       We started running Facebook ads in Lithuania and they did super well. (Shoutout to Alan Cicotte). The basically generated 50 self referrals so that's what kept us so busy. Excluding last week, I have received 1 referral since being in...

Week 92 - "Caged Bird" (ft. Maya Angelou)

Image
Hello Everyone! I'm super stoked!!! I'm going to Kaunas which means I'm leaving the office and heading back to Lithuania. A weird thing about being in the office is that I've been able to see the transfer board which shows where all the missionaries are going on future transfers. So I've actually known for a month or two that I've been going back but haven't been able to to tell anyone about it. It's going to be so nice to use Lithuanian again. I feel like I'm ready. I hope it's not too rusty but I'm sure it will bounce back really quickly.  The last couple of days, Elder Sieverts has been in Riga. He's going home tomorrow so Rest in Peace. Elder Yeyna too, and a few others missionary friends. Being with Elder Sieverts has been a blast. This last Sunday I bore my testimony in Russian. It was one of those things that I did not want to do. I forced myself up there and I couldn't tell you if I messed up because I was nervous. This whole ...

Week 11- The Three Great Commandments

  Hello Everybody!      Week one in the field has been amazing. I'm serving in Indiana currently, Elder Jones and Tapp are showing me the ropes. We've been teaching like crazy it seems like.       There have been so many people on Facebook or over the phone or in person that we want to contact. We don't have enough time to reach all the people we want to. That is a very good problem for us to have.       We had a baptism with Mia which was great! Hooray for baptisms. We have another baptism with Abbey coming up this Saturday. Our zone will have had 1 baptism each week for the month of March.      The diversity here compared to Tri Cities is so drastic. A lot of times, me and my companions are the only white people around. Our area covers a wide variety of people ranging from people living in small run down homes with little to nothing, to families in Gigantic houses that seem like Castles almost. Seeing everyone'...
