Dzień doberek!

Jak smakuje serek?

I'm just really happy to be back in Szczecin! The fact that a week has already gone by is pretty crazy, too, but that's the crazy mission time warp dealio that everyone keeps talking about! Annnnddddd... We have two investigators with a baptismal date! Take that, South American missions! ha... But it's really exciting, one of the guys' names is Jan, and he used to be studying in seminary in the Catholic Church, but he didn't agree with all their teachings, so he's looking for a church to join, and it just so happens that he ran into the only true one on earth, so that's neat! And the other guy is Paweł (paul) and his story is just awesome! He wanted to find some guidance in his life, so he prayed, and decided to go for a walk in the park, where he met Sister Demordaunt (is that how you spell her name? I never actually figured out...) and he went to church the next sunday, where he had a conversation with Elder Cutting (Paweł speaks very good english) and Elder Cutting decided that the Elders would be teaching him! This all happened right at the end of the transfer, so I just came in the next day, and Elder Garrison and I met with him, and taught him a first, and he agreed with everything there, and we invited him to be baptized because he agrees with everything we said, and... he... said... yes! And like, with acutal desire! CRAZY! So now he's being prepared to be baptized on the 21st along with Jan, and one of the sisters' investigators, Szymon. I'm not sure if all of them are progressing towards that exact date, but all of them are definitely progressing. Which is good.

Elder Garrison is really fun to be with! Our language skills are about equal, so talking with people is still somewhat of a challenge, but still fun. He's fun to be around. I'm pretty sure this transfer's going to fly by much faster than last transfer did! And I do need one of those mini statues of me! They cost about 200 zlots, or $60ish, but I'm pretty sure that it's worth it. Definitely worth it.

That video you saw was with the lady we had to yell at's daughter! She's super sweet, and I miss her, but she's in good hands with Elder Ashworth.

HAPPY BELATED ANNIVERSARY!!!!!!

It's good to see that marriages are lasting still in these times where Satan is doing all he can to destroy the family. Thank you.

And Sunday. Mother's Day. SKYPE DAY! I'm pretty sure that 9:30 for you guys to skype works for us. That's 17:30, or 5:30 for you guys on the other side of the pond for us, and that's when we usually have dinner with the Cuttings. So yes. It's good. Be there or be square. And if the Cuttings' computer has hangout on it or supports it, then we can totally do that, I just know that it's a Mac, and they can't do anything. But I think it'll work.

I'm co-district leader here, which means that I just lead the meetings every other week, and I'm pretty sure that that won't be hard. I do feel much more comfortable, with the language, with the people, and with talking about things with people (especially spiritual things) and I'm living in a very nice, not moldy apartment, so basically the world is my oyster. I'm so powerful.

WE'RE GOING BOWLING TODAY!

Love

Starszy Liehcyt.
