Hey fam!
I think these are going to be quick emails from now-on...
I'm getting pretty close to the end, and would rather spend my time seeing
poland while I can instead of sitting in a library! I'll tell as much as I can
when I get home, but I'll just give you the generals.
MLC this week. All in polish. Pretty awesome. it's more of a
counsel... so we just get together with the zone leaders and sister training
leaders and talk about the mission and what the missionaries need. The Spirit
leading the conversation in those meetings is incredible.
We had a pass-off meeting with Ania. President asked us
mission-wide to let sisters teach women and let elders teach men... which is
hard because we have some really cool women who have huge potential. But we had
the meeting and it went really really well.
The Szczecin elders were with us for a quick exchange after
MLC. Those Szczecin trains are ridiculously long, so they had to catch a train
the next morning. It was really fun to spend some time with Elders Fetzer and
Garrison. Unfortuantely we got flaked on all of the meetings that day, but
that's okay! haha.
Ziem... This guy is like 83, but looks and acts like he's
45. He was in the Green Berets.(gift of tongues understanding that one). He is
super prepared, has bene reading the book of mormon since we gave it to him
last week, and wants to prepare for baptism for the 12th of November. So we're
meeting tomorrow again. Miracles.
We taught english class as usual, as well as had religion
course afterwards. It's awesome to be bold with people and invite them to
Christ.
Krz... We felt like we needed to meet with him again, even
though he hasn't progressed yet. We ran into him miraculously a bunch, so I'm
not surprised that there's things to be done! We felt the spirit strongly, and
just went for it. He's a strong catholic, and we felt like we needed to get him
thinking. It was so cool, and so amazing to see that we could be really really
bold, and talk about really deep subjects with him, and that the Spirit was
able to do what it needed to. It was epic, and he definitely saw some holes in
his thinking.
Friday we got flaked twice, but then had 2 really good
meetings at the end of the day. Clara was on the lessons with us, and things
went so well. Bog and Ana are our genius brothers, and I love them to death.
Just trying to help them get to church.
Bra isn't doing so hot. He feels like he needs to "go
another way". He's rebelling against what he's felt and knows. We're going
to meet again this week and see what he needs.(other than the Spirit and
possibly a good conk in the head) :) love that guy.
Yesterday we met with a guy from the Middle-East. We're not
going to say any names here if you get my drift.... but he was epic. He brought
a friend, and we had one of the boldest lessons of my mission. We testified of
Jesus Christ, of the restoration, and of the prophet Joseph Smith. The Spirit
was there so strongly. It was so cool. The problem was... Elder Cowley and i
are just speaking polish 98% of the time... so we were teaching this lesson,
and polish just started to come out a few different times and it was super
embarassing haha. i'm not going to be 'that guy' when I come home that somehow
forgot how to speak English haha.
That's that. I sure love you guys. Have the best week ever!
