Hello family and friends! Hope you are all doing well. Things are going great this week, and the Lord has definately been blessing us. We had an amazing lesson with one of our investigators Maria - who is so awesome! When we taught her last week we invited her to baptism but she still wasn't so sure she was ready. So we told her to read and pray for an answer again to know if the Book of Mormon was true. This time we met with her she said she knew it was true and we committed her to baptism. unfortunately she is going on vacation for awhile, but we are shooting for august for her baptism! :). Another cool story is that we were on the metro a young man around 27 yrs. old noticed our name badges and asked us if we were the mormon missionaries. He got off at our stop to continue to talk to us...apparantely he and his friends had taken a trip to the US and had stopped off in utah and they had seen the temple and the Joseph Smith movie . He said he was very impressed with everything that he had seen and that the people were very wise. We were able to explain to him the restoration and gave him a Book of Mormon to read. We exchanged information and told him about the Youth Program. It's crazy how stuff like that happens because we were out visiting a less active and we took a completely different route home then we normally would. We ended missing a bus for another one which took us to a completely different metro. It's awesome how Heavenly Father knows where you need to be.
We met with a former couple who have a little boy, and they are awesome! They moved to amsterdam as well as have lived in the US before, but are now back in Poland. We had a great meeting with them, and we are going to try to set up a dinner appointment with one of the families in the ward.
We are also teaching on the of the members sons, because she is the only member in her family - but he is about 9 yrs. old, so we will probably invite him to be baptized soon :). It's fun teaching little kids and thinking of creative ways to help them understand the gospel :).
On sunday I was able to translate for Young Women's, because there are 2 american girls in there, which went pretty good. It's wierd to think that I'm translating Polish! But the gift of tongues really does work, and I know that Heavenly Father blesses us to understand what is being said.
I'm so grateful that I have decided to serve a mission and that I have been called to serve here in the Poland Warsaw mission. My testimony of this gospel has grown in so many ways, and I understand more fully the importance of being truly converted to this gospel...ALL the days of our lives. This life is so short in the grand perspective of things and I know that we are here on this earth to learn and grow into what Heavenly Father wants us to become. The gospel is what brings happiness into our lives. I know that each of us in our lives will at some point go through a time where we wonder if God has forgotten us, But I know that he is still aware of us and that he loves us as his children more than we could ever imagine. I know that Jesus Christ is our Lord and Redeemer. I know that his church is restored on the earth, and that the Book of Mormon is evidence of this. I know that there is life after this, and that we can be with our families forever.
I love you all and pray for you!
Stay strong! The lord is on your side :).
Love always, Siostra 4c
