Tender Mercies And Train Rides:)

Well hello everyone! This email is going to be pretty fast cause well i already wrote it this morning.... but thanks to technology it all disappeared.  This week was really good! It was quite enlightening.  We spent the entire week except for Saturday in sunday in other cities.  An exorbitant amount of time spent on trains...15+ hours of time... and your girl gets motion sick like no other on those things. But shout out to the office elders for getting us a train from warsaw to legnica... that was one of the biggest tender mercies    We spent some time with Elder Alliud (a visiting general authority) on Tuesday. We got to go to Wrocław to greet him and his wife. It was cool to spend some time with them and call people with his wife. It was akward at first cause we were calling people in Polish and ukranian but we started to translate for her and she offered some really cool insight!  Wednesday we had zone conference which meantttt seeing sister trost. I lov...

Legnica, Lessons, And Relying On The Lord

Good Morning! I hope you are all doing well.  This week has been a whirlwind. We started off of course with transfers... so that was depressing. A lot of fomo on my part as sister trost was going to be companions with sisters gay and atkinson for a few days while they waited for their trainees but the fomo faded fast while we were in the train station... iykyk bahaha. It was really sad saying goodbye to everyone. I really do miss them. Especially sister trost... but its okay... we still get to serve together as STL's and plus we got a good trip coming up ;)  Anyways... then started our trek to Legnica! My new companion and I hopped on the train at 14:30 and two train rides and a little walk away... we were finally in Legnica by 22:30. White washing is so fun because you get to learn by yourself with a bunch of suitcases when it is pitch black out where your apartment is... had me reminiscing of opening Rzeszow...remember those days sister grob? Both times I have done this I ha...

Well, It Can't Get Worse Than This...

Good morning, everyone! This week has been… an adventure, to put it mildly. I’ll spare you every little detail, but let’s just say it was *eventful.* Somehow, in the middle of all the chaos and heartbreak, Sister Trost and I found ourselves laughing, crying, and occasionally both at once. One thing’s for sure: be careful what you pray for. So, it all started on Tuesday. Sister Trost and I, the assistants to the mission’s medical coordinator, went out to dinner with Sister Roney, the medical coordinator and our mission leader. The conversation shifted to training new missionaries—what it takes, why it matters—and I got all reflective. I thought back to some of the hardest moments of my life, times that brought me to my knees and helped me build my relationship with God. That night, I prayed and thanked God for every one of those difficult moments. And then… the week began in full force. On Wednesday, while I was in the office prepping a post, *poof!*—the entire folder I was working from...

A Week Of Miracles And JOY

It's a beautiful day in the neighbourhood!  How are you all doing? This week was interesting.  It started off super scary.... sister trost and I on monday were just chilling eating our lidl breakfast... and then I hear a gasp followed by the most horrifying sentence "siostra... I got my plan" after a back and forth of me accusing her that she was lying... I finally believed her... because I checked my email.... and there it was...MY PLAN. so that was a horrible way to start the week. Sister trost and I went into crisis a few different times this week because of our upcoming departure. There are some things we are excited for but it is so strange.  Followed by this we had exchanges on tuesday. I was with a sister who is still in training. Her name is sister radford and she is SO cool! We got on the tram later in the day to go contact , not even being on the tram for ten seconds... as I was buying our tickets for us this girl was already talking to this lady. It was so cool...
