Labas Visiems!

The transfer is coming to a close on Wednesday. They just seem to fly by. I can't believe that I've already been here for that long, crazy.

We taught a woman a part of the first lesson in her doorway, at the beginning of this week and then were able to return and teach her the rest of it later that week. The message touched her, she wasn't ready at the time to meet again, but we left a book of Mormon and hopefully as she reads and continues to feel the Spirit, she will desire to learn more.

We had our last English class for this session on Thursday and it was hilariously awful. We attempted to play a game like taboo, but without certain words they couldn't say, since they were all doing it in a second language. The class didn't really want to participate, we had started by sharing a joke (the German coast guard, "what are you sinking about?' one, which is a quite hilarious commercial by the way) but no one really laughed. There were a number of other funnily frustrating things as well. needless to say it was a rather long hour, but I was mostly amused, especially when Elder Whicker talked about how he had just wanted to die the whole time.

Ainis is doing well. He's incredibly busy with a local organization he's involved with, traveling all over and meeting with all sorts of people, but still doing fabulous.

We also had alesson with an ancient man, who probably just wanted company. Hopefully something touched him and will make it easier in some way to accept the Gospel later.

Saw a sweet doorbell that was a lion's head with the bell placed inside the lion's open mouth. A local public bus ahad advertising on it, that decorated it similar to the Magical Mystery Tour album cover, which was awesome to ride on. Since then it became the Magical Mystery Tour bus.

Fun fact about Elder Whicker: he hates buttons. like the kind that you have on a shirt or suit. They make him want to gag, sometimes he can't even say the word. Weird, huh?

Conference was sweet. Haven't watched Priesthood yet, but have seen the rest in English and Lithuanian, understood a fair bit in lithuanian, which was cool. It was very hard to concentrate for that long a time though, and made me feel extremely tired. For maybe the first time, I realized that if you watch conference with questions, you will get answers. Some small and even random questions that I had had previously, were answered while watching conference.

Thanks for all of your love and support. I pray for you and appreciate your prayers. Lithuania is beautiful and I absolutely adore it.

Iki pasimatymo

Love,

Vyresnysis Kanoris Hiltonas or Elder Conor Hilton
