Elder Martin - Called as Zone Leader

With only one month to acclimate to his role as a District Leader, Justin has been called to serve as a Zone Leader. From his letter, he doesn’t sound nearly as overwhelmed as he did when asked to be a District Leader.

He is staying in Kaunas with Elder Solomon (the other Zone Leader for Lithuania). They will be travelling to Latvia on a regular basis for Zone Leader meetings and training.

Justin will hit his “Hump Day” this next week, so what a way to celebrate his first year!

He is having great success (as measured in Baltic terms) - they even have a baptism scheduled for March 31. He plays the piano at every event he attends, and is now teaching piano to a local sister so they have a pianist when he leaves.

Our family is blessed to be able to support such a dedicated missionary.
