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 love sister trost :)) oh and incredible spiritual insights from elder alliud, his wife, and our mission leaders. 
It was so awesome to spend time with missionaries I have served with before. Even though it had only been a week since I had seen most of them haha! It is also just fun to be around other missionaries since we are in a city all by ourselves.
After a heated few rounds of uno, in which friendships were betrayed and broken, we said our sad goodbyes and we were off again. 
Sister trost and I and our trainees got to spend the next three days together going to warsaw for MLC. It is so funny to be in this phase of our mission together. Can't help but think about the MTC days and where we are now. 
It was awesome to be in Warsaw! I love warsaw. It was so fun to be back in my FIRST apartment. It was great to see everyone there and to see more missionaries that I have served with previously. 

We spent Saturday and sunday in our area! We spent the days teaching and teaching with members. The members here an teaching me what it means to serve. They are incredible people. One of our members texted us the morning of a lesson that we asked her to be on.... with an entire lesson plan. It was amazing to see her teach to the needs of our friend in a way only she could have. I just love legnica and I love these people. 

Spiritual thought! 
This week something that really stood out to me was the need for the gospel in our countenance! 
Elder Alliud shared "preach the gospel and when necessary use words.".
What we focus on and what media we partake of in our day to day lives is directly shown in our countenance!!! 
This concentration is taught excellently in 2 Corinthians 3:2-5 
2 Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men: 
3 Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart. 
4 And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward: 
5 Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God;

I love my saviour more than I can express! I am so grateful to be a missionary and for the decision I made to serve and I am so blessed that I am serving at this time. God is in the details of EVERYTHING. I can truly say the more closely I come to know Him the more real the words of Nephi become when he proclaimed "...I glory in MY Jesus..."
God is so good. 

Anyways, I love you all and hope you have the best week ever! I always love hearing from you all. Thank you for all your emails
