Hey fam
So we had a good week this week. A family we have been meeting with started showing some progress. They are a part member family. Irena ,the mom, is a member and so is her son Valdas. Her husband, Valentinas, is not a member. They are in some really tough times right now. They live in a Bendrabutis (a community housing apartment) So everybody on a floor shares a bathroom and a kitchen. They just live in a little 10 by 10 room. They are way nice people though. We cooked them dinner one night becasue the only thing they had money to buy that day was sour cream. They next day we "broke the fast" with the branch and so we invited them to that and they had food to eat for another day. We talked to the branch president and the branch gave them some money for this week. The wonderful part is that Valentinas came to church this week! He hasn't been for a very very long time. We are way excited for him. It's great because Irena wants to get sealed in the temple really bad. I hope he comes around.
Other than that not a lot is going on with other investigators. We haven't met with the gypsys for a while. Zone conference was this last week and it rocked as usual.
Thanks for the package!
Also thank Liz for me. She sent me a way funny package for my birthday and it arrived to the day so that was a score.
Oh I almost forgot. We met with some members from Vilnius yesterday and they taught us how to cook Bulves Blynai (potato pancakes)
p.s. it just took me forever to remember how to spell potato. They were way good. They put me over 155 pounds for the first time in my life. That means i have put on about 20 pounds since i have been here. Which is weird because you can't tell i don't think. Its wierd.

Well fam Thanks for everything now for my testimony:
Tikrai zinau kad dievas dar gyvas. Jis yra mano asmaninis Dankiskasis Tevas. Ir zinokit kad Kristus vaikciuoja su manim cia Siauliuose ir tiesog jis visada vaikciuoja su visais savo vaikais. As esu labai dekingas jam uz viska jis dare del manes. Aciu uz tavo pagalba ir zinokit kad As su visa savo sirdimi jus myliu. Laikykites

Vyresnysis Kukas
