Hi family,
I really like Mr. Fox. He's cute.
And it turns out that if missionaries are singing in conference, It won't be any of us. Or they'll suprise us tomorrow, but that probs won't happen.
A typical day for me would start with screaming some sounds while the alarm wakes us all up, and then showering and wondering why it takes forever for everyone else to get ready. Then we go to breakfast which is usually pretty disappointing, so I just usually get a bagel or something, and then we go to class. Class in the morning will usually start with learning polish or teaching our "investigators" which are just our teachers. Currently we have two zainteserowanie (investigators) whose names are Adrian and Ola. Ola is crazy nice and really receptive to everything we teach, so we don't worry too much about her. But Adrian is tough. He doesn't really accept what we say, and he'll ask "why?" to literally everything we say. Which I suppose is good so we'll know how to answer questions in the field, but It's pretty frustrating now.
And after we have classroom instruction, we go to eat lunch, check the mail, and go back to class for personal study. After personal study, we have companionship study, and after that, we have language study. That's when everyone messes around the most, but it's callmed down since the beginning. After all those studies, we go to the gym for an hour, then dinner, then check mail again because everyone doesn't know how to control their desires, and then go back for some more classroom instruction. And we study more language, and do CMS, which stands for Coaching Missionary Study. And that's where the teachers will meet with us individually, as companionships, or everyone at once to discuss whatever it is we need discussing on. Then we head back to our residencies and mess around, do awesome things like drink from the water fountain upside down, or have nerf battles, or dress up as star wars characters and have lightsaber fights, and then go to bed after fifteen minutes of quiet time, which are rarely actually quiet, which kind of bothers me. Then it starts over! for nine weeks.
P-days start with us going to temple, then we eat breakfast in the temple because it's a million times better than in the MTC, and after that we go to do laundry and emailing which is happening right now. after that we'll go to the gym for a good amount of time. Our whole district usually plays volleyball with some of the other people in our zone, and we're getting pretty good at it! Then if we have time, we'll take a nap, and then eat dinner, and then P-day ends, and we go back to class. Usually during this class on P-day, we'll do this thing called TRC, where returned missionaries or other people who know the language will come and we give them a lesson, but since no one knows polish, we only sometimes get people to teach. And after that, we go to bed.
I get along well with everyone in my district now, which is nice, but Starszy Haskett is pretty great. He's really funny, and we share the same sense of humor, and he's actually got a good spirit with him, which is nice. Starszy Mcmaster is also really awesome, and a very spiritual person, and those two are companions, so It's like the power companionship.
AND
you know how the guy at the bank was saying the the word for "to be" was pronounced like the B word? it is. completely. No accents to it or anything. Straight up saying the B word is how we say "to be" or just "be" it's wild. AND there's seven cases in polish which change the endings of words depending on how they're used, but that doesn't matter. What does matter is that one of them is used when you rename somehting with a noun, and you can tell it's being used when a form of "to be" is being used, so the way we are told to remember is shown in the picture. Just remember what "to be" sounds like in polish-
I can't think of any really crazy experiences, but what I did come to realize, is that we always worry about feeling the Spirit in our decisions, which is a good goal, but sometimes we think that a huge, obvious prompting from the spirit is the only voice we can trust, which isn't true. If we all keep the commandments, and remember and keep our covenants we've made with God, then the Spirit will be with us always, even when we don't notice it, and to trust ourselves really is actually trusting the Spirit. And that has definitely helped me here when doing all the things I need to do.
LOVE Y'ALL SO SO MUCH!!!!

Look at this. The Polish flag is reflected in the tag. That's what I call art. (also, starszy McMaster took this one, so props to him)
