<h3>Where in Baltic states I can be baptized in Lutheran church?</h3>
I need an advice, where in Baltic states or in Finland I can be baptized in Lutheran church, as Im speaking only russian and english language. Right now I live in Lithuania but do not speak local language, which is a problem to read and understand. Also I was raised in muslim family and now in my heart choose to be baptized. I could use any guide and advice in this matter, what should I do, where I can get more knowledge about Lutheran church. Thank you for your advices and attention to this small matter. It is of a huge importance to me.

The Killing Field.
Built at the end of the 19th century, the fort was the ninth in a series of forts constructed by the Russians to defend the western border of their empire. The Ninth Fort is a stronghold in the Lithuanian city of Kaunas. When the city was controlled by the Soviets, the stronghold was used as a prison and way-station for prisoners being transported to the Gulag. After the Nazis occupied the area, they used the fort as their place of execution for Jews, captured Soviets, and others. Jews from France, Austria and Germany were also brought to Kaunas and executed in the Ninth Fort. "We are 900 Frenchmen", Abraham Wechsler of Limoges inscribed in the wall immediately before his death. Today the mass burial place of the victims is a grass field, marked by a stark but frankly worded memorial in several language including both Yiddish and Hebrew – "This is the place where nazis and their assistants killed more than 30000 jews from Lithuania and other European countries". An impressive monument to commemorate the victims of Nazism was erected in 1984.
After the Second World War, the Soviets again used Ninth Fort as a prison for several years. It is now a museum.
