There was a seagull trying to investigate the church

Science

Also, the Junior Olympics for track and field were hosted here in Bydgoszcz, so we got a picture with the Mexico team!

Why? No one knows

HellooooooooooOOOOOooOOoooooO!

Goin' good! Next transfer is the 15 of August, so two more weeks! Elder Rowley is great, and works very hard. He just really wants to make is parents proud. heavenly and earthly.

The package hasn't come yet, and the one I got doesn't have the po-land map. What does that even mean?

9 hours of hiking?! Ugh. that sounds painful. In Bydgoszczczczszc, we walk everywhere, because the public transport in this city isn't very good and is not very convenient. And I've destroyed my second pair of shoes! YAY! But really, though, this is becoming a problem. Also, the callouses on my feet are huge. Like, my entire heel is a rock. I could break through glaciers with these feet.

Sister Kaegel told me that Dad is a hoot on facebook! Just posting all your adventures and funny pictures. You guys are the best! And it sounds like you're getting into all these extreme sports! Is my lack of being there and doing those things making you want to fill some void? Either way, I think it's fun! Elder Rowley went mountain biking, and it's making me regret that I didn't do it more often. One day, I'll get back into that and back into rock climbing!

What are these people doing leaving on missions? It's really weird when i hear about my friends from the grade below me leaving on missions. It makes me feel old, and I realize that I am old! Mission wise. It wasn't until last transfer when I wasn't the youngest missionary in Poland. 

The main business here is building trams for the rest of the country. At least, that's where you see Bydgoszcz's name all over the place, but I don't know of any members who work in that business. Everyone just does random little things like mow lawns or work in a frame shop. And concerning wild animals, every once in a while we'll see packs of wild Boars. They call 'em Dziki. Just don't get near them and you'll be fine. But they're in very normal places when you find them, like just some neighborhood. It's cool.

The thing we're really lacking right now is energy. We're all still really working hard, but our district has just kind of fizzled out, even though everything's been going the same way it has been. It's tough, because we have all the meetings and the conferences, and we get really inspired, but then you go outside and the next ten people you talk to either just completely ignore you or laugh at you. But Elder Rowley told me a great quote that goes like "the laughter of the world is merely loneliness pathetically trying to reassure itself" From Elder Neal A. Maxwell. It helps me understand where true happiness is, and where family is. Because only in the Celestial Kingdom will people be able to enjoy the happiness that families bring in this life. Also, that book you sent of President Eyring's talks is really great! He's a great man. A Prophet, some might say

Love you guys!

Elder Liechty
