October 29

Well this week has been awesome!! We ended a great transfer...and began a new one! On Tuesday we went out for dinner as a district for the last time...and then early Wednesday morning I went up to Warsaw to go meet my new trainee, Sister Bown, who is so AWESOME! We came back on a train with the other elders who are in our district, Elder Zelezniak (from Austrailia) who is training Elder Smith ...and got to work. When we were buying our bus/tramwaj passes we had an awesome experience - we asked this young man if he new where a certain street was...he told us in english that he wasn't from here...that he was actually from Oregon. We asked him if he had heard of the church before and he said that he had, and that he was actually a descendent of Joseph Smith! So crazy! haha. He said he wasn't interested and that he was Catholic, but I though it was so awesome that here, in Poland, Heavenly Father was still trying to bring him truth. I know that if we are obedient that we will be lead where we are meant to be! On Friday, we went out contacting in a park - and it was pretty deserted - because the weather has gotten so COLD and it snowed a lot - but we decided to follow through on our plans. We met this girl in her 20's who stopped right away and said that she had been stopped by missionaries before. She set up to meet this week and was so interested in what we had to say. We are excited to teach her. Her name is Marta :). Another cool experience....we went out white boarding with the elders on saturday...and we were talking with this man about the Book of Mormon, when a young man stopped and said, "wait! You are talking about the Book of Mormon?!" I've been trying to get a new copy of that because i lent my brother mine - and I really enjoyed reading it and felt good. We gave him a copy and were able to talk to his friend as well. This week really taught me that Heavenly Father puts people in our path all around to hear this message, and if we open our mouths and are ready...we will find those who are being prepared!!!
But I'm so gateful to be here in Lodz and LOVE this work. It is seriously the best work ever. I love the people here and Poland. I'm so excited for Sister Bown and the experiences that she is going to have here. The Poland Warsaw mission is the best mission ever! :)
