Hello everyone! Well I am finally in Lodz and am loving it already! Sister Smithee is awesome and we are loving being companions. We have laughed a lot already :). Lodz is a very very poor city...and a lot of the buildings are run down, with really old apartments. But our district is awesome and is really unified, so I'm excited to work hard with them! We don't have any baptismal dates, but we are working with a lady named Jola - and she is so prepared to recieve this message! She is a sweetheart. She knows the Book of Mormon is true, so we will be inviting her to baptism the next time we meet with her. But we are going to make this the best transfer yet and work hard to find those who are prepared. Being a missionary here in Poland has been one of the most rewarding, amazing, and best things I will ever do in this life. I have seen how hard satan works...day and night to keep people from accepting the truth, but at the same time, I have seen how faith and being truly converted to the gospel have won in the end. As it says in the Book of Mormon in Alma, THIS is the time for men to prepare to meet God...
And it is so true. I think everyone, whether they are believing or non believing come to a point in their lives where they want to know their purpose here...what happens after this life...and what happened before this life. We know this, because of the restoration of the gospel. Christs true church is here upon the earth today...and is led by a prophet. God has always worked the same way...and that is through prophets. I know that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is true, and that if anyone will read the Book of Mormon, they too can know that it is true. I know that through Christ and his atonement, we can recieve a forgiveness of our sins. I love this gospel and the feeling of the spirit that it brings to us!
I hope you all have a great week, and remember that Heavenly Father loves you with an infinite love, because we are all his children.
Love, Siostra 4c
