All Is Well-

Hello fam!
Well, all is well here in Siauliai. Thats good. I hope you all had fun watching conference. I havn't actually been able to see it yet. We got some dvd's bussed down to us from Riga today so we are going to start watching them each morning one session at a time. It's all just good pure truth.
SO. This has been a way fun week. Me and my new companion are getting along just wonderfully. Right now we are the youngest companionship in Lithuania. He is a way humble missionary and a way good example for me. We have a goal to speak 100 percent Lithuanian when we aren't at home and its going really well. We aren't home very often so a good 70-80% of the day we are speaking only in Lithuanian. We don't find ourselves not being able to explain our thoughts very often. I truly believe miracles happen when we speak our mission language. One miracles was that Valentinas, a father in a part member family, accepted a baptismal date!!! He has obviously been meeting with missionaries for quite some time but he truly has a desire to got to the TEMPLE! That is what got it to click for him. He is going to Sweden next month to look for work and so he will be close to the Finland temple. People here go though MAJOR sacrifices to travel across land and sea to get to the temple so when you have a opportunity to go- it is a big deal. He set a date for the 31st of this month. He smokes so he is going to need to toss that habit but he has such a strong desire right now. We are very excited for him.
Well fam i am going to go. I am hoping all is well.
Love you all,

Elder Cooke

P.S. Let me know when James Knight gets his mission call.

Siauliai means "The Archers" so he has a bow...and he is naked, but most things in Europe are.
