First couple days of training

 (Elder Putnam)

This week was a little all over the place.

We started with exchanges up in Rīgā. Elder Woods and I popped off. We went finding til our toes froze and then we shared the absolute worst bratwurst I’ve ever had. Not a play on words. The lady pulls it out of the bag in front of us and then grills in a panini press. I can’t believe I paid 2.50 for that.

Elder Leonard and I returned to Liepāja and then, not 18 hours later I was back on a bus with Elder Ivester to get trained on how to train a new missionary. While there, we also went finding a ton. I swear, Rīga is the promised land of finding. I mean wow. Also using the LightTheWorld method is crackeddd

We got our new missionaries. Elder Roberts and I hit it off from the start which is one of the reasons why I was not thrown off too much when we were assigned to be companions. We have hardly anything in common but that doesn’t seem to be an obstacle. We’re doing a challenge to bring us together as a companionship. We are gonna finish the Book of Mormon in 9 weeks reading together. I know that some of you are doing it in only 25 days, but I'm simply weaker.

First Sunday went by so well. Although there was hardly anyone at church, Gundega and Markuss showed up, Gundega with her husband and one of her sons. I spoke and so did Brother Ščerbeniņš. Elder Roberts introduced himself. Gundega and company felt the spirit. Afterward, we had a lesson with Jacky and Jāzeps joined. He is so great. Can't wait for him to serve a mission.

Pday went by so efficiently too. Like we got so much done. Were gonna make ham-beefburgurs this week and its gonna be so good. The sisters will get to Liepāja on Thursday which will be huge and Cammie opens her call tomorrow so pray she goes Baltic Mission Latvian or Russian speaking.

Anyways that’s all. I’m gonna sign off for now here’s some pictures.

And no I haven’t haized my greenie...
