There's a man who keeps snorting his boogers up his nose who's sitting next to me. Thank you, mom, for not letting that habit grow within me.

And concerning my credit card, I don't plan on buying anything soon, so I'll just take out some money and you can deactivate the card and send the new one. If you send it today or tomorrow, I should be able to get it before Christmas. Probably.

HE DID! It's the very same Todd! BACK ON THE MISSION! I am so utterly grateful that that happened! And they're companions! They've been dreaming about this very exact situation since they were lads, and now it's actually come to pass! First the mission calls to the same place, then the going back, then the coming back, THEN the being actual companions... MAN! The roller coaster of emotions for me is just wild, I bet for those two it's just unbelievable!! WOOOOOOOOOOOO

I'll buy something Polish for you. It's funny- we've had the Polish pottery in our house for as long as I can remember, so when I get here, and there's all this hype over this polish pottery and getting it for you families, I'm just like "wait. What? doesn't everyone have this type of bowls and stuff in their house? This is what I eat my ramen noodles in."

Sounds like the Thanksgiving tradition is coming to an end... Are we going to keep meeting up with family for as long as we can, or split off like many others have done? I don't really want to do that. I hate ends to things. Also, tell everyone there that I love them and miss them

A BOY!? I've got some pretty good Polish names then... We've got Zbyszek, Zdzisław, Wojciech, Grzegorz. Maybe Stanisław. But watch out for that one, I haven't met a Stanisław who wasn't absolutely crazy and in love with the sister missionaries.

Jan, though, DID GET BAPTIZED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!! The day finally came. I had my doubts at times, but it really did happen. Thank you so much for your prayers and fasts (I actually told him that you fasted for him, because he started to have some worries, and it seemed like that was what pulled him through. He's VERY grateful to you for that.) (also, he might friend you on facebook soon, or send you a message, so if you get a thing from Jan Zakrzewski, that's him)

Today for P-day, we're doing another escape room! Last time we did what was one of two hardest escape rooms, and got out with about 9 minutes left, where most people don't even make it, and today we're going to do the other hardest ones that has lasers and stuff! GET HYPE!

I do feel as though the Holy Ghost prompted me to share the Gospel with the Priests. When I thought of the idea I prayed about it, and got the confirmation that it would be a good idea. What will come of it? We don't know, but I'm learning a lot about how the Catholic church is organized and what they believe, which helps me understand the people much better.

I have a feeling that I'm going to miss family much more during this holiday season than last, but I'm going to do what I can to not dwell on it! 

Love you all!
