Cześć!

How is everyone doing?!

This week was good. Nothing too crazy. Bit of a wierd week. A lot of people who we had been meetingg with dropped us... which was so sad. We miss them already. But it was so sweet they made sure to tell us they love us so much they just aren't ready. It was really sweet. 

We had one of our most favourite families leave poland this week. The Barabash family! I served in Warsaw when they lived there and now they have moved to utah!!! Although i am so sad they are not here anymore my heart is happy that I get to see them when I'm home! They are living where most of my family is in Utah so that is a gift from God. 

Okay just kidding this week just got interesting... 

We were just at lunch with the Parsons and the Elders.... earlier today we were walking and this lady stood an inch from sister Parsons face and asked for her food in Polish. So we translated and sister Parsons gave her the food.... okay fast forward four hours... we are at lunch now. The elders left to Warsaw so we are just hanging out at the table. This lady (same one sister Parsons gave food to earlier)  comes up to us asking for food. We explain to her that we have none and she starts going through our food boxes we keep saying they are empty and we are sorry she then came over to my side of the table I told her mine were empty too so I opened them to show her... she then looks at me and says (in Polish... because this whole inreraction is in Polish) and says "no you are empty"... starts grabbing the boxes and throwing them at me. So sister Ireland hits her with a "przestań Pani" which is like a very clear stop it/ knock it off lady. Then she keeps doing it so I hit her with a "idź Pani idź" which is a very straightforward way of saying get out of here lady. She then stared into my soul, proceeded to throw all our boxes of food onto me we quickly put them back on the table and then she threw my phone off the table. So as soon as we could we grabbed all of our things and started to leave... but then she lines me up with her umbrella and whacks my hands and tray cause the garbage to go everywhere and my hands only to slightly Sting haha. I told her that God loves her and I hope she has a better day... that was also not an appreciated comment.... so that was fun.

We then walked down the street and stopped and talked with our jehovah witness friends. They are always on the street corner and I'm sure to say hi everyday but today we were actually able to have a conversation which was so nice! It's awesome to talk with other people who have found such a love for something that they want to share with others. They are so cool. They gave us their rotation schedule so we can stop by and say hi now. 

I did not have a lot of time to write today so I'm sorry for not replying to any of your emails!!! I love you all though! 

My spiritual thought will be short this week... just a scripture :) 
Jacob 6:5
  Wherefore, my beloved brethren, I beseech of you in words of soberness that ye would repent, and come with full purpose of heart, and cleave unto God as he cleaveth unto you. And while his arm of mercy is extended towards you in the light of the day, harden not your hearts.

I love this scripture because there is so much joy to be had in the joyful process that is repentance. I also love the invitation to cleave unto god with full purpose of heart... JUST AS he does to us. We having such a loving heavenly father. He knows us each perfectly and loves us with great power!!!

That's all for this week. I love you all! 
Have a great week :) 

Miłego!

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...
