We Are Old (Week 6)

Well... we are old now. 
It has been a week of goodbyes.
It started with our Spanish sisters next door... That was a very sad day and our hardest goodbye for sure. Then this week we have had to say bye to a lot of people we came in with. It started with the Spanish elders, then the Danish elders, and the two Slovenian elders from the Ukrainian district (They were supposed to be here the whole time with us but they are heading out to the field today, long story). We came in with all these people... It is so weird to see them all go. random note, but it's so weird because all the districts that I just mentioned (aside from the spanish) do not have a single sister. for what reason... I could not tell you. There are some languages that just have sisters, but I could not tell you why those ones didn't. 
As sad as it is to see them go, I am so glad I have the remaining time that I do here. I can not imagine going into the field right now with the level of Polish I am at. Truly a blessing to be here for nine weeks because holyyyyy Polish is difficult. It is gonna be awesome though. 

Spiritual Thought 
 Prayer is such an incredible gift and tool. Try to set apart some time to pray. Setting apart that time can truly change your life. 
Isaiah 43:2
When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. 
The Lord walks with us. I know that as we pray and strive to abide with Him, we will be blessed for it. 
I am so grateful to be here and I am so excited to serve the people of Poland.
I am so grateful for the emails I have received from you all, it truly brightens my week. 

okay, I need you all to go listen to this song. We sing it nearly everyday, and I won't lie... it goes hard.

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...
