Hello everyone!! Or I guess I should say Dzien Dobry! Well I am officially a trainer, and things are going great :). My nem companion is Sister Holmgren from Logan, Utah - and she is a sweetheart, and so awesome! We have had some pretty cool experiences this week, and I know that Heavenly Father is blessing me to be able to understand what people are saying, (especially since people her LOVE to talk haha) but I know that as I continue to study and improve that I will be guided to know what to say. We were able to have some great meetings this week...
We met with this lady named Barbara who the elders tracted into, and the lesson went really well...we taught her about the plan of salvation and committed her to read at least a chapter from the Book of Mormon a day. I think she has a lot of potential, and know that if she reads and prays she will be able to recieve an answer. We also had the chance to meet this awesome mom in the park, and she was so happy and set up to meet sometime!
Some other cool experiences...we were on a bus, visiting a less active on Thursday, and when we got off we heard someone say "hey are you the mormon missionaries?" we turned around and it was a member named Abi who is from India who had been baptized a while ago...but while on the bus he was thinking of the church and how he wanted to get back in contact with the missionaries - but he didn't have their numbers. And then lo and behold we were there on the bus and were able to get him in contact with them! It's so cool how Heavenly Father knows where you need to be, and how if we are in tune with spirit, he will guide us there.
We have been meeting also with this lady from Ukraine - named Natalia - and her first language is Russian - she speaks a little bit of English and Polish - so we are trying to set up a meeting this week with one of the members that speaks Russian so she can better understand things.
This week we are going to meeting with Ola on Thursday! So that should be exciting :). I love Ola.
We are working with lots of others...some of them can only meet every other week, or once a week....but I know that Heavenly Father is preparing people for us to teach.
The weather is sunny, and it is getting more hot - I can't believe it is almost JUNE! craziness! Time literally has flown. It feels like I just got here haha.
But I know that Heavenly Father loves each and everyone of us, and that if we are obedient that we will see miracles happen in our lives. I think being on a mission has taught me the importance of setting goals -and working towards them - and how if we do our part, Heavenly Father will help us achieve the impossible! I know that if we read the Book of Mormon and the Bible every day that we will recieve answers to our prayers, and notice a change in our lives. It is amazing what inspiration comes thorugh scriptures! I love it. I know that God has a plan for us in this life, and that we can find true happiness that lasts through his gospel. :). Try it! I LOVE YOU ALL!
Thanks for your emails and love and support!

Love always, Siostra 4c

Hello Family & Friends! I hope you all had a great week/weekend! Things are going just dandy here in Warsaw...and some changes are happening here as well. I AM TRAINING! wow! But I am so excited. Me and Sister Mann had an incredible transfer together and I am so grateful for her example and the love that she has for the people here in Poland. She is an outstanding missionary and I know that she will be great wherever the Lord needs her to be. She is now transfering to Lodz! But Me and Sister Sheahan are companions for a couple days together until our trainees arrive on Wednesday :).
But this week was a great week, and we had some meetings with some new people, as well as some other investigators! The work is moving forward, and great things are coming to Poland.
Sorry this is such a shorter email...but it was great to talk to you all yesterday! I love you all so much :). Keep staying awesome and positive, full of hope and Heavenly Father will help you every step of the way. Have an awesome week!
"Faith To Succeed".

Hello!! I hope you all are doing well! :) It sounds like you had a great time in Richfield with Grandpa's Birthday! Happy Birthday Grandpa! I love you! :). And I'm sure you did great in your play Mckayla! you would make an awesome "who"! haha. Since we know the grinch so well ;). I'm sure you did great trying out for cheer too, and know matter what happens Heavenly Father knows what is best for you...and maybe something better will happen if things don't work out with it :). But great job! How are you doing Nate!? I'm excited to talk to you all on Mother's day this week. I know that this is a special time to remember our mothers...and I know personally that I have been blessed to have an amazing example of a special mother in my life. I will always remember mom as someone who truly examplified the life of Christ, and who truly lived the gospel to its fullest. She had so much love and charity to all those she knew and especially as a mom, she loved her children so much and taught us the gospel :). I'm so grateful for her, and hope that one day I can be like her as a mother. :).
This week has been a great week and we have been meeting with four new investigators! Since it was a holiday week here in Poland, some of our other investigators were out of town, but we are hoping to meet with them all this week, so it should be a busy week ahead of us!
The weather has been really nice last week, but yesterday it got a little bit cooler, and we went out to go visit a less active, and in the span of like two minutes it started pouring buckets of rain! It was crazy! haha. Me and sister Mann looked like we had just jumped into a pool with our clothes on...needless to say we went back and changed lol. I wish I could have gotten it on camera.
But I love you all! Miracles are happening in the Poland Warsaw mission, and I know that with faith anything is possible! :) Love, siostra 4c!

Hey czesc! This week was such an amazing week! We are meeting with so many people and are having so many lessons! It's great. We were able to meet with Ola (the girl who is 17) three times this week. I love her so much! SHE IS AWESOME! She is searching for something more in her life...and last night we were able to invite her over to the Staples (member's in our ward) house and have dinner. It was a great experience...we shared a lot from Ether 12 on faith, and talked about how if we exercise our faith, we will see things happen. It's a decision that we have to make. Later we called her and she asked when we could meet again! say what!? haha. She is great.We are meeting with this couple named Piotr and Klara, they aren't married, but they are not opposed to the idea of getting married either. But we were able ot meet with them yesterday, and they are reading the Book of Mormon and keeping ommittments! exciting stuff happening. Maria, who we have been meeting with, is going to Ireland for about a month, so we will probably meet with here when she gets back, but she is past Alma in the Book of Mormon and is loving it. Investigators are progressing...!
Some funny stories....this week we got a call from someone who asked us if we had any "krolikis" which means bunnies in Polish...and Sister Mann didn''t know what that word meant, so she was like '"hang on a sec. let me look it up"...and they were like "you don't know what krolikis are!?"...and then they asked who we were and we said "The sisters" haha...we got three other calls that day from people...apparantly there was an add in the paper with our number on it...instead of the right one...funny stuff. lol.
But it has been super warm this week...lots of sunshine...happy people...and lots of meetings!
the Poland Warsaw mission is the Best! I Love it!!!
Enjoy the sunshine! Love you all!
