October 1st

Dzien Dobry!!! It's crazy to think today is officially the 1st of October, but the weather is definately Fall here...and the leaves are beautiful! We had a finding week this week, with lots of contacting, but we were able to meet some awesome people and get some numbers to set up with. SIster Smithee and I both got colds again over the weekend :( but we are now back to healthy again lol! (If you could send me some dayquil and nightquil pills that would be awesome - they don't have really good cold medication here)...but Jola, who we are working with, hasn't been answering...and so we went over to her house to see if everything was okay, but she didn't answer - so we are hoping that she is okay, because she is sick with cancer right now. We are probably going to be going back again this week and ask a neighbor if everything is alright! The Lodz branch just got a returned missionary home, which is awesome! He was serving in the London Mission...but is now back. The branch is excited to have him here. We were able to watch the Relief Society broadcast with Sister Tarasavich on Sunday before we had dinner at their house...(the senior couple who is here) and it was SO good. We are going to be able to watch I think one session of conference this Saturday...but unless we have an investigator present, we have to be proselyting...so we are hoping that we are going to beable to have someone come to it! But things are going well and are moving forward. We worked really hard this week, and are going to try our best to continue to work with all our might to help bring others unto Christ. I'm so grateful for the power of the atonement in my life, and for the power it has to heal us. I know that if we rely on Christ - he will ease our burdens which are put upon us. I have seen the blessings that come from living this gospel, and know that if we continue to live it, everything WILL work out :). Stay awesome and have an AMAZING week! :)

Love always,

Hello Family and Friends! Well this week was another awesome week, and we were able to help out with the YSA conference for what was called "Weekend in Lodz". Almost all of the YSA's from the whole country came and had a conference here :). I think there were about 30 who came...but we were able to teach them a lesson about the Plan of Salvation and make "Life Maps" and how focusing on the bigger picture helps us make our everyday choices. It was awesome! Kasia also came and loved it! She had a great time playing games...and eating lunch with everyone. We will probably start teaching her this week :). We were able to meet with Jola and the Elders were able to give her a priesthood blessing to help her have strength and peace in her life. It was really spiritual and peaceful and she felt really good after. We are going to continue to find those who are prepared and to teach everyone we see :). It's getting colder here...cold for September I should say haha...but we will see how this winter is!

But I love you all...and pray for you all. I KNOW that christ lives. That the atonement is real. I know that this is what brings true happiness in this life and in the life to come...and that if we are searching for peace, happiness, rest or joy in this life...the gospel of Jesus Christ is what brings it.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LINCOLN!!! (It's so wierd to think I haven't even met him!?) glad you all had a fun party with him! Time is flying...but I'm going to work my hardest until the end!

 

Love always,

Siostra 4c!

Hello everyone! Well this week is going well and we have had some awesome experiences! We are still teaching Jola - and she is continuing to read the Book of Mormon and to progress...we are going to try and have her get a blessing this week...and then invite her to baptism :). When we were contacting this week, we were able to meet an awesome lady named Barbara - who is interested in meeting with us this week...and set up! Also on Wednesday after English, a new girl named Kasia came and then we invited her to intstitute the next night and she had a blast. she loved it! She said she wants to come to the youth conference this coming weekend! But things are going well, and we are continuing to contat everyday, and try to find more investigators! I love Lodz and the people here. We have an awesome and united district which makes things fun, and we are going to try to work as hard as we can until the end!
I hope you al have a fantastic week :) Love, SIostra 4c

Well this week has been good...i've been sick since Thursday night with a really bad cold, so i've been inside mostly. Today I'm having an exchange with Sister Ence...who is coming here to Lodz and then Sister Smithee is going to Katowice until Wednesday. We had zone conference which went really well - and which helped us get pumped up. The weather is starting to feel more like fall now. We have been continuing to meet with Jola last week and she is doing really well. I hope you all have a great week.

love, Siostra forsey
