On your mark, get set, here she goes!!!

Baltic Research

Here are a couple links to help familiarize yourselves with the Baltic Mission. (You know you want to.)

At Nothing Wavering you can hear an interview with Mission President Douglas Dance from July of 2009. Very informative and actually interesting.

Church-related news from the Baltic can be found at LDS Church News site.

Finally, you can look at the Baltic Mission Network that gives news, pictures, addresses, etc. from missionary alumni.

Now get to researching!

Mission Call Received

Exciting Day! Hayley received her mission call on October 4, 2009 to the Baltic Mission. The Baltic mission covers Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania and is one of the few missions that does not include a country or capital in the mission name.

These countries each have their own language and 30% of the population speaks Russian. Missionaries learn either Latvian, Lithuanian, Estonian or Russian. Hayley will be learning Lithuanian. As of July 2009, the mission included 100 missionaries (25% Sisters, 75% Elders, 10 Senior Couples, 4 Couples and 2 Single Sisters).
