WELL CZEŚĆ!! Happy Mothers Day EVERYONE!
I got to speak to my beautiful rodzina (family) yesterday
and it was sooooo amazing!!! They are such strength to me! I love them all so
much and it was super amazing!!
This week was really good! It’s so full and so busy and I
know I couldn’t do any of this without the Lords help! Last week for P-day we
went to a mall (YAY) it was exciting to be in the world again but there is not
a ton of things to do here in Katowice. So if anyone wants to do some research and
find something cool to do then let me know!! For now we just do somewhat lame
things but its ok cause its PDAY!! AND
EVERYONE LOVES PDAY especially because EMAIL!!!
We taught our English class it was really fun. It reminded
me of Ukraine :) but we were helping the elders teach adults. It was still
really fun! The weather got a bit nicer this week! Thank goodness!! I’m still
white but that'll change :) so we were contacting in this huge park and we weren’t
talking to anyone so it was super lame. I was praying in my head to find people.
I find that when I’m praying I feel so much better about everything. Then we
went to this guy sitting on a bench and said our bold statement and he
listened!!! So we kept talking and gave him a book of Mormon and he was reading
it, it was so cool!! We set up an appointment to teach him! He didn’t show up
:( but that’s ok cause he has a book of Mormon and it was still a wonderful
experience!! I loved it!! My polish is improving since I have to talk to random
strangers every minute I’m outside!! We talk to EVERYONE without exceptions so
its getting fun! Except I don’t understand anything they say to me but that'll
come soon enough!! Getting used to the language makes things very fun, I just
love it!!
I did my first white board!! The elders and us set up a
white board with a question on it like if you could ask God one question what
would it be and we try to stop people and have them answer it and talk about
it. The four of us were out doing it and
I went up to this man and started talking to him (in polish) and he said oh I’m
sorry I don’t speak polish. I swear the choir of angels was singing from
heaven! I said that is ok neither do I! We started talking and he told me he is
from Australia!! So I talked about Travis and Kyle serving their missions there
and talked about how beautiful and awesome Canada is and why I was here in Poland.
He was so kind and nice , FINALLY! I told
him what we were doing here and I asked him the whiteboard question. I gave him
a pass-along card actually 2 because they were my favorites. I told him all
about them. He said he would check them out. It was so awesome!! Truly a
blessing from the Lord to feel like I accomplished something because sometimes
you get kind of down when no one talks to you for a straight like 6 hours!! It
was so awesome!!
The Reeds had us over for dinner this week (a senior missionary
couple) It was nice to have real food and to get to know the people from my
district better. We all showed each other our little mission "face books"
with all our pictures. It was really fun sharing them with everyone. I loved
it! Then we went out to visit less actives with Sister Reed cause she has a
car! I found out that Poland is BEAUTIFUL!!! We got to leave the city and go
into the countryside and holy moly was it ever nice!!! The people looked
happier and nicer. There were real forests, fields and trees. It was so beautiful!!
A nice little break from the ghetto city that I’m in :) not that i don’t love
it cause I do it was just a nice change!!!
We taught Sylvia, our investigator, this week!!! We had our
lesson with her , it was my first lesson with her. We taught her all about the Gift
of the Holy Ghost and why its important which lead to baptism of course. She
has been taught for 3 months. The spirit was so strong in the lesson. I would
open my mouth to say things to her and things would just come out!! It was such
a blessing and I felt so much love for her and such a desire for her to accept
the things we were teaching her Then at the end of our lesson we extended the
invitation to be baptized on June 8th... AND SHE SAID YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So she is getting baptized on June 8th. I am so lucky to be a part
in her conversion. Sister Packard says that we had to be companions for this to
happen. That makes me feel special. I am so thrilled! Sylvia is making the best
decision of her life. We were all crying and were so happy afterwards it was the most
amazing thing ever!!!
Well have to go now,
I love you all so very dearly!!
P.S. CONGRATULATIONS TO MY DEAR JAYDEN AND JENSEN!!!!! I so
