Hello!

Polish is not crazy. It is beautiful.

But it is possible to make words such as "Dziewięćmilionówdziewęćsetdziewiędziesiątdziewięćtysięcydziewięćsetdziewiędziesięciodziewiąty"

That's 9,999,999th

Yeah, at Zone Conference we got a Temple Recommend case that is specific for the Poland Warsaw mission, and a Polish hymn book! I was really excited about the hymn book, because Polish songs sound awesome!

And the face painting thing was an idea that we had for finding, we'd have Sister Sloan, and one of the members, Alex Pakora, paint the faces, and while they were doing that, we'd be talking with the parents and it'd be a lot more relaxed and everything. We decided to do that because Elders in Warsaw said that they did a thing where they shined peoples' shoes and talked to them while they did that and it was great. We made a very pretty sign, and made those example pictures to hang up on the sign, so that's why Elder Garrison has that sweet tiger on his face, but when the day came to actually paint faces, Alex was sick, and the weather was really cloudy and cold and no one was outside. Then it started raining, and so it wasn't as awesome as we'd hoped. But then we went to the Cuttings, and made french toast and had breakfast for dinner and it was all better again! YAY!

I did hear that Elder Ashworth is now the branch president (which is the calling that I dread the most. Like, all the responsibility would just be so scary. Let's all give a hand for the Bishops who have to care for a couple hundred people at once. phew.) And we get our transfer calls this Saturday, which means that I'll be emailing on Tuesday next week, so don't be scared, and I might be in a different city. But I want to stay here. For some reason I just really love Szczecin!

I have no requests for the birthday box. Except for pictures! I always love having the pictures to look through!

I've been reading through this Old Testament study guide, so I can actually say that I've read the Old Testament, and I'm in the middle of 2 Kings. And geez, people can just be so wicked. And of course, everyone has their own agency, and everyone needs to stop blaming things on other people, but the leaders have SO MUCH influence of their people. A righteous nation can become wicked and evil just because one king was good and the next was bad. Being a leader is a big responsibility, but if you've been called by God, to be one in the church, he trusts you. Which means you can trust yourself. The Lord doesn't make mistakes.

I looooooooooooove you all!
