Laba Diena

The morning was started with a cutie jumping on my bed saying Lillia (which is Lilly in Lithuanian), he is my little brother, 4 years old and the cutest little thing! For breakfast we had bread with jam and this strange drink that is kind of like chocolate milk but they warm it up just a little, so its not hot or cold its just...yucky haha very yucky!

Here are my little ones that I live with- (this is a bad picture, I will take better ones tomorrow)

The oldest boy is Mose (mo-say) he is 11, Simon (c-mon) and Dora are twins they are 9, next is Samuel (sam-well) he is 7, and there is Tano (ta-no) who is 4. These kids are very crazy and all the boys just LOVE beautiful american girls haha but they are also SO smart the oldest 4 speak Russian, Lithuanian, Italian, Polish, and English! Their mom is Debra and she is from Poland, and the dad (who I have yet to meet, i'm not sure he lives with them) is from Italy, they moved to Russia and are now in Lithuania so they know it all! They are trying to teach me Polish, Russian, and Lithuanian...its very hard and the more I try to speak all these languages the sillier my English gets!

For dinner we went to a Chinese place! It...almost tasted like panda haha just a Lithuanian version :) We tried to order in Lithuanian and the lady laughed at us and gestured to show us how to just point for what we want! Then as we were leaving we said "Laba Diena" which is like good day and she responded "Have a good day to you!" haha so she totally spoke English and still let us struggle through our Lithuanian/Russian the whole meal.

We walked around a little bit in the center of town-

We also got our bus passes today and are attempting to learn how to use it, the buses go very fast! In fact everyone just does what they want on the streets, drive where you want and park where you want!

Tomorrow is our first day in our ward! I am so excited to go to church!! We are going to the Russian ward with our coordinator and his family, it takes about an hour to get there but I am very excited!
