Sveiki Visiems!

We had some interesting lessons this week.
We met with Du Wei and talked about the commandments to help prepare him for the temple. It went very well until the end, where he revealed that the business world is less than clean, but everyone does it, so...yeah. It will be something to work through.

We were waiting for a member to come so we could meet with an older woman, and we contacted a guy. He was a little drunk and happened to live in the same stairwell as the member. We tried to tell him we didn't really have time, but he wouldn't really listen. He said he would get his son who spoke English to translate. We went up to his apartment and sat down for a second, when a very drunk man stumbles in, his friend who let us in, pushes him uot and puts him in a room. We were just going to drop a pamphlet and peace out, but before we could say anything, his friend stumbles in again, stuttering something. The guy gets up and pushes him out into the kitchen. Glass shatters. We run out. Didn't really get to teach anything.

We ran into an atheist guy who we talked to for a few minutes and then his phone rang and he said he would be right back. While waiting for him, we taught another lesson, so he actually ran into and was taught by the other elders. While talking to us he said that the Bible was a barbaric, perverted, bronze age book written for a polyteistic society by leaders to help them control people. It was interesting.

We taught two lessons Friday that went quite well. One of them, Adas, was very interested and said his friend would be interested as well. He took the Book of Mormon and said that he would definitely read it. Was fantastic.

Saturday Elder Sherman and I taught the district about REvelation through Prayer. It went quite well. We had a good discussion and I think everyone learned something. Afterward we had a lesson with Vytautas, whom we had met with a few weeks ago. We had invited him to pray and he had not, so we got to put into practice what we had taught. It was a rough lesson. He wouldn't pray about the Book of Mormon or what we taught because he ' would need to be baptized and give up alcohol, girls, smoking, etc.' He also told us that we were psychologically unwell because of how much we talked about the Book of Mormon. But just prior to that we had read Moroni 10:3-5 and he told us that it meant we could get the power to scan minds,which confused me. Not sure where that came from.

Sunday night we sang as a district on Laisves, which was fun. Hopefully it softened some people's hearts.

I love Lithuania and everyone that lives here. I appreciate your prayers and pray for you. Good luck this week. Enjoy it all!

Love,
