MTC Week 4?

Hi!
It's crazy, I have been a missionary for over a month now!

This week did not go by fast like all the other ones haha. I think it is mostly because we have met a bunch of people that are only here for a week and a bit and others that are learning languages that still head out before us. But it is okay! This time next month we will be on a plane to Poland.  They gave me permission to play against the guys in basketball thankfully! Because before that I had to beg a sister to come and play. The MTC does not like it when girls and guys match up because they are worried we will get hurt. So playing has been sooo fun. 
We had an AMAZING devotional last night. Elder Peter Johnson and his wife came and spoke to us. He talked about applying the gospel to our lives and how it is unique for every person. But he said something at the start that stuck out to me. (Spiritual thought) He said to the senior missionaries ( I believe quoting President Nelson), "You are not leaving your grandchildren, you are leading them". His delivery of this was very intentional. He turned to face them and took time to acknowledge them, it was quite amazing actually. But that got me thinking. This week Grandma Sue has constantly been on my mind. When our loved ones pass, they aren't leaving us, they are leading us from the other side. 

Scripture of the week: 1 Corinthians 2:3 And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.

Last night's devotional was truly incredible. Our district review after was amazing too. Our district is truly amazing and such a huge blessing to all of us.

I am so grateful to be serving. It is a true blessing. 

That's about all from my week. I love getting emails from you all, and I have received some letters this week. Thank you guys so much. It is about the most exciting thing when I get to hear from you, it genuinely makes me so happy. 

1) "Da Districtttt"
2) the prettiest rainbow yesterday
3) "my American initiation". Apparently I am officially American now because Hermana Chenn looked at me with these glasses on. 
4) a companionship I saw in the cafeteria... Elder Wallace and Elder Campbell. I had to get a picture so I walked up to them and asked for one... very out of my comfort zone... very worth it 

I don't have many pictures from this week unless you want to see all my Polish worksheets hahaha. 

I hope you all have an amazing week!

Week 8

hello! We are almost out of here. We have one week left until we are on a plane to Poland. Learning a language in nine weeks is kind of insane... very overwhelming. Next week will be crazy to be immersed in it. We are all so ready but also not at all hahaha so many mixed emotions. We just want to be able to communicate our message with people. With time and practice it will come.  We had an awesome devotional last night by Elder Nattress! I have so much to say about it. It was focused a lot on how the gospel is so personal and how we can be the best missionaries possible. So as usual... if you want to know more... email me:)  I love it when you guys do! I spent a lot of time with a talk given by Elder Christofferson called "The Love of God". I read and listened to it in both Polish and English... and went through breaking down the grammar in Polish.... I am glad I picked this talk to do that with because it is amazing! which brings me to my spiritual thought.  In this tal...

Hello everyone!  I am alive and so well.  I am very sorry its been so long. But I'll catch you up quickly... I got transfered to Katowice. So for the first time in my six months in country, I have new comps, I am with sister wiener and sister tanner. They are awesome! Sister wiener and I got to welcome sister tanner into country and are training. It has been such a blast with them. Sister tanner loves a good movie refrence and made us power puff girl bracelets... funny enough she gave me the bubbles one, which is something my little cousins use to call me so I thought that was adorable.  I am in Katowice and it is so much fun here. We have seen some incredible miracles. We got to be apart of a part of our friends baptism a few weeks ago and then the elders friend got baptised last week in the Lake close by. It has been so much fun. But it is so crazy because we get transfer news next week. We don't know whats going to happen. We have one sister leaving the mission so we d...
