Well there went another week! So a few cool things happened
this week:
There was a baptism for an
american 8-year old from Washington. His mom is fully polish, and his dad
served a mission here, and then after married the mother. They wanted to come
back to the 'mother land' to baptize their son. Turns out they're related to
EVERYONE in poland. So they invited all their non-momber friends and family. It
was awesome. They asked me to play prelude and play essentially all the music
for the baptism, which was pretty cool. Then, he was confirmed in front of
everyone, and they asked who he wanted to help confirm him, and he pointed
straight at me hahah. it was pretty awesome. After the confirmation when he was
shaking hands, he stopped at me and we had a 15 second custom-made handshake
with something about spiderman and batman, and crossing fingers and such. haha
it was pretty cute. They also had a special musical fireside that night that
everyone came to, and it was amazing to hear someone sing so beautifully in
polish. I needed that!
We went over to Kaja's house
last night to celebrate a Jewish holiday(she's a converted jew to mormonism and
she's one of the most amazing members we have in poland). We learned a ton
about the jewish holiday, and about the bible, and ate jewish food. Then we
left and stayed the night at president's house. It was great. This morning we
were up planning transfers with president by 7:00. It was awesome, and we spent
a solid 3 hours, and got mostly there. There will just be minor changes after
this. Everything is coming down to it. My group with all my boys leaves here
next tuesday morning early. This would have been my last week emailing in an
alternate universe... it's tough, but I'm so glad that God has an individual
plan for me, and I am so grateful for everything He's been blessing me with on
his alternative plan!
That's about it this week.. things are going to get crazy.
I'll fill you in when I can. I don't know if I'm going to be getting much of a
pday next monday... my group is leavfing, and we'll be helping them, and then
the new group comes in... so we'll see! I lov eyou guys!
