July 2nd

Hello everyone! It seems hard to believe that it is already July, but things are going well here in Polska! We had a couple lessons with Maria this week...we taught her the Word of Wisdom - which we knew was going to be a harder lesson, but the spirit was definately there. She doesn't have a hard problem with the coffee or tea, or smoking, but she likes her glass of wine once in a while...but we promised her that if she would live it that she would be able to enjoy the blessings promised from it! and who doesn't want those blessings!? :) As it says in D&C we are promised blessings of health, and also blessings of a clear mind...which helps us have the spirit with us more. I know that if we are willing to exercise our faith and obey all of God's commandments, we will see our lives in a new light. It's amazing how much the gospel gives us in return from LIVING it. But yesterday she came to church, and it was fast and testimony meeting, and she felt the spirit so strong there. We then had lunch over at her house...and read some of the Book of Mormon with her. She is awesome and I love her so much!
We were also able to meet with Adam and teach him the gospel of Jesus Christ - faith, repentance, baptism, the gift of the holy ghost, and enduring to the end. It was a good lesson - and we tried to be creative by using different object lessons haha.
We have been dropping a couple of our investigators because they arent' progressing, or are too busy right now...but we are definately finding some awesome people! We contacted a lot of people who were interested in the message of the restoration...this one family who definately had a light about them told us they were actually searching for a religion to join (just having a new born baby) and when we told them about the restoration, they said it sounded too good to be true. Another lady we contacted last night said that she thinks it is very possible the Book of Mormon is true, and that she wanted to see if she could have another one because her daughter is also searching for truth. It's amazing how the Lord prepares people and how he guides us to them.
I know there will one day be a temple here, the and the blessings from it will flow to the people here in Poland.
We are laying the foundation of a great work :)
As we contact people everywhere we go, everyday...on buses, trams, sidewalks, bustops, parks, elevators...I have realized the power of our testimonies - and how with the spirit, we can help people see the truthfulness of the gospel. We can't convince anyone, but the spirit can. The role of the Book of Mormon is the keystone...because I know that if anyone reads it with sincere intent to know if it is from God, and with a desire to act upon that answer, that they will know it is true. I too have read it, and know that it is true with all my heart. I love this gospel. I love our savior, Jesus Chirst. I know that God has restored his church to the earth today, and that we have a living day prophet who leads and guides us. :).
Stay Amazing! And make this week the best!!
Love, Siostra 4c
