Week Idk Someone's Gotta Tell Me

Hello everyone. 

This week has been really eventful. We had all saints day, transfers, and a lot inbetween haha. 

All saints day was probably one of the most incredible things I have ever experienced. People light candles in memory of loved ones, soldiers, and those who lost their lives during war. It was a beautiful day. All of the missionaries in Warsaw (All ten of us) went to the church and street contacted ALL day. There was tons of foot traffice because the chapel is surrounded by cemetaries and memorials for world war II. We were blessed with the opportunity to go with one of out friends to light candles for his family, our families, and those who lost their lives during the war. We felt very blessed to be given such an opportunity. 


Transfers happened, our trio is down to two (if you get that reference, I love you). Sister Dil and I have been given lots of unique service opportunities the past couple days. We feel grateful to have each other and God. Our district and mission leaders have been nothing short of amazing. We are so blessed to be in Warsaw at this time and with each other. 


My spiritual thought today is similar to those of the past... but it's just so important. 

Be so kind to people. Love everyone you come in contact with. You never know the trials someone is facing. The world gets meaner by the day. So try and change that. Just love people. When you feel tempted to complain or be unkind, look for an opportunity to serve or help. Whether it's the person that may be getting on your nerves or cleaning up your community. Find a way to help. 

Losing yourself in the service of others is an incredible blessing and very eye opening. 

I recommend you go and listen to "peacemakers needed" by President Nelson! It is an amazing talk. 


That's it for today:) 


I always love hearing from you all!

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...
