Dzien Dobry! I hope you all had a fantastic Easter and are now having a great little holiday break! :). Well things are going well here in Warsaw...it has actually been a little bit colder this week wierdly...but today it is pretty nice, so hopefully it means that Spring is staying. It's crazy having holiday's in Poland because everything usually closes down for the weekend and the day after...when me and sister Mann went running yesterday morning there was literally no one on the streets haha. But today everyone is back to normal! But we had a good Easter and week ourselves, we got invited with the other three sets of Elders in Warsaw to go over to the Picketts house, who are an American couple living here for three years for his job, and we were able to have a big brunch and share a little message with them. It was a lot of fun! This past week we were able to meet with a lot of less-actives and some members and share a little message with them about the resurrection...and I personally am so grateful for this time - and hope that we always that remember CHRIST LIVES! And that we will all be resurrected too - and that we can live with our families forever! It is such an Amazing blessing that we have been given. I am so grateful for Christ and for everything that he has done for me in my life. Being on a mission - and being able to continually study the scriptures and learn more of him and how much he loves the people here and everywhere thoughout the world has made this weekend extra special to celebrate and remember that he does live. and that he IS the light of the world. and that all those who come into him will find rest and peace and eternal happiness. It's so simple, but often we forget that it really will bring us true happiness. Also being on my mission I have realized how important it is to daily reconvert ourselves to the gospel. We always hear that praying, reading our scriptures everday, and going to church will make us happy...but it is exactly what keeps us converted...because satan is trying so hard to make us forget how we feel and have other things take priority. But I know that doing these things every day will make all the difference and that we really can find TRUE happiness, happiness that lasts by doing so!
This week we were able to meet with Ola and Marina who were doing the non-smoking program...and they made it through it! They are so awesome! They wanted to know more about what we believed and came with a long list of questions...that we tried answering the best we could...with Elder and Sister Jensen's help (they are so amazing!). But they are reading the Book of Mormon, and we are having another lesson with them again on Friday :). They have so much potential! Oksana who we set a baptismal date with is going to be taught by the other sisters now, because we just found out that she is in their area, but we are excited for her, and will continue to hopefully see her around! She is great :). We are working with a girl named Agnieszka who we see about twice a week or three times...we go to her work and teach her little lessons. But she is atheist...but is slowly starting to open up more. We are praying for inspiration to know how to help her have a spiritual experience, and I know that with time that she will be able to notice the spirit in her life.
We are doing well and are excited for the week ahead of us! Warsaw is such an awesome place! I think Andziej who we found in Katowice got baptized this past weekend...and Konrad is supposed to get baptized this coming Saturday! If you could send me some pics from the blog that would be great! :)
we taught 17 lessons this week, so things are looking bright!
"I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me".
Love, siostra 4c! Stay AWESOME!
