Once or twice a year, the patriarch (an emeritus status General Authority from Salt Lake) assigned to the Europe East Area, will come through the Baltics and give blessings to those who have requested one. If there are senior couples in the country, they are usually tasked with getting things ready for the visit by setting a "homey and comfortable" atmosphere in whatever place the blessings will be given. In our case, since our chapel is under renovation, our only option was to use the rented room (called the Teaching Center) that is used by Seminary/Institute and the missionaries. It's just a single room with tables and chairs. There's not much else to work with. We noticed that the room had not been cleaned since before the winter weather and the floor really needed to be swept and mopped. So we set out to clean this room and make it a nice place. We bought a carpet and flowers and straightened everything in the room to make it nice. Here is a picture of the result with a time-lapse video of our cleaning to get the final result.
At the Zoo We had a free afternoon and invited a friend to join us at the zoo. Here are a few pictures from that excursion. Our friend was very knowledgeable about many of the animals and it made our tour more interesting. Most of the animals are from Asia and Europe - many that we've never seen before. It's not as modern as what we are used to, but the price of admission was very affordable.
