Dear everyone,

We got a new apartment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'd put more exclamation points, but I don't have enough time. But really, the last apartment was so disgusting. So gross. I didn't send pictures of the mold monster we were living with, because you'd get really mad at the church for letting us still live there, but we're finally out, so it's all good :D But I have pictures, so don't worry. And the new apartment is just so absolutely fantastic. So great. I can't get over it. The shower is so good. The last week in the old apartment, the showerhead stopped working, so we've been using a bucket and filling it up with the bath faucet, and just pouring it on ourselves and doing it like some third world missionary would be doing it. But then we got the new shower, and it felt like a pressure jet wash, and it was amazing. Truly amazing.

Marcin is still meeting with the missionaries, but I don't really know how he's progressing, but the other day, I told him about fasting, and suggested that he fast for strength, and I fasted with him, but I haven't heard anything more from him, so we'll see how it turns out.  And we met with Dawid last week, and had a decent lesson with him, but he's still not reading the Book of Mormon, and we're having a hard time meeting with him again, nor did he come to church yesterday, but I think there's still potential with him. 

And after one of our english classes, (we have two, beginner and advanced), like, four of the beginner class students came up to us and wanted to have personal lessons with us because the other elders taught something that was really hard in the beginner class. But it was just really funny, because we were having a conversation with one guy, and this mob of Poles trying to speak english trying to set up meetings with us came up and just swamped us! It was funny, and now we have four new people that we can teach english and the gospel to! YAY!

Also, in church yesterday, I gave my first talk without having written every word out! In Polish! Mostly, because I heard I had to give one pretty late, and I was a bit lazy. Didn't want to write it all out, so I figured now would be a perfect time to try it out! I had a short plan and topics written down, but that was it. And in Sunday school we just did the normal lesson stuff, and we do use the teachings of Howard W. Hunter book. 

I'M SORRY I DONT HAVE PICTURES.

I have more than I send, but until someone can explain to me how I can send more than one picture in an email, the most y'all'll get is three or something. Unless something really cool happened. Then I'll send more. Like today! We're going to Turoń, which is super pretty, they say, and I'll get all the pictures. All of them. (And we weren't able to go to Hitler's castle last week, unfortunately)

Scripture of the week-

Alma 56:47-48. All you moms out there are really important. REALLY important. Iza, the member that we visit once a week, it turns out that she has a daughter that she wants to get in contact with again, but she was scared, because that daughter doesn't know that Iza's a member of our church, so we shared scriptures with her about motherhood, and how valuable it is, and how important that relationship is, and how God's going to help you build it up if you do what you can. So you go, moms!

LOVE ELDER LIECHTY!!!!!!

My guts are fine, I'm eating WAY healthier than I ever did, and I'm way less picky. You were right again...

We see cool buildings like this all the time and I forget we don't see them in the US
