Jestem w Poznaniu!!!!
(I'm in Poznań- crazy how that little "w" changes that word like that. Ahhhhh, Polish.)
Yep- I moved away from my hometown! Pretty crazy stuff, but the whole last week was pretty crazy, too.
On Wednesday, we met with an investigator named Grzegorz for the first time- he's the one who sang out during the Christmas Sacrament Meeting, and comes to church all the time- but we finally met with him, and he fed us, as all Poles love to do. However. He said it was his favorite meal growing up, and he kept repeating that it was "from beef" but as far as I know, no part of beef should have hair like that. Turns out it was cow intestines. YEAH! It tasted kind of like a barn smells, so that was nice, and it just had the wackiest texture. You know, I'm just not the biggest fan of eating parts of animals that move independantly of the animal. It's just not my favorite thing to do.
Then on Thursday, we went to the Georgian Ballet (that's the country, not the state) (Also, every transfer, we get a "culture night" where we do things like go to ballets or other cultural things) And that was awesome. I can't really describe how they were dancing, but it was cool- just trust me on that one.
And Friday to Sunday were mini missions for two of the members in our branch- Alex and Nick! They're so 15 years old, though. Like, I thought I hadn't really grown up in the last few years, but seeing them is kind of like "oh, look at me, adulting all over the place" It's nice. So Nick stayed with us, and Alex/Ola stayed with the sisters. And they were really good! They've been members for about a year now, and their testimonies are fire!
And then on Monday, I moved to Poznań.
My new comp's name is Elder Vance, and he's pretty cool, haven't really had enough time with him to figure everything out.
This transfer I'm working on loving other people. There's a Christlike attribue assesment in PMG, and that's the one I scored least on, so... Sorry, everyone I knew...
Hubert is still a little crazy, but not crazy enough, I guess, but he's in Norway right now for some work, so people won't be able to meet with him. And the other people got back in town, but didn't really want to meet, so... the new elders have a pretty fresh board to work with! WOO! Poor guys, though- Of the four missionaries (excluding the senior couple) only Sister DeMordaunt stayed. She's totally freaking out.
Ugh, last transfer felt so short! I mean, it was two weeks shorter than the other ones, but in ten days I'll be 1/4 of the way done... I need to work harder. I want to be more consecrated, but no one around me wants to go as far as I do. What do I do? I guess we still need to see how this first week goes, but it's going to be good. Poznań is doing some good things right now.
Ok, I have less time on this computer than others, so I gotta go!
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Starszy Liechty
And happy Valentines Day!
They do celebrate it here, just not as big as in the States
