Sam conducting a Gnome orchestra
The food they have in the Christmas markets is delicious, by the way!
For their cultural outing, onstead of an "old" culture event, they went to a "new" cultural event: Motorcross
Elder Pettit, too. He wants me to let you know that his mom says he has a cute face
Incense from the gift exchange - lovely
IT'S COLD.
Maybe not right now, but a few weeks ago it was as cold as the coldest day I experienced last year, and we're not even close to that time! I keep putting on more layers, but there's just nothing that stops the chill! Last year i came into the country with this weather, so I didn't know any better, but now that I know what it's like in the Summer, it's just tough! It's ok, though, we're surviving.
I hope so too (mailed a debit card, hoping it makes it)! So far I don't need cash, so lets just hope I don't get caught on the bus without my bus pass! That happened once, and then someone started playing country music, and it was just an all around bad day.
They do have a Christmas market here! I don't know what to buy, because it's all very expensive, and I didn't pull out enough money, and I don't know what to get... someone tell me what they want! One really neat thing they do here is make these nativity scenes out of colorful foil and make them really fancy and neat. If you look up "krakow tin foil nativity" on google you'll see what I'm talking about
I actually heard about that commercial! It sounded really funny because we all understand what that man was doing and the types of book he was reading! )A Poloish commercial I saw on FB but didn't send to him since it's got some swearing:)
Michał Is still doing great! It turns out that he won't be in town on the 24th, which I figured would happen, so he told us that he would like to be baptized earlier! But earlier that day we had actually planned out everything we needed to teach him and when we would be able to teach him, and if he can't be baptized on the 24th, it'd have to be pushed back to the 31st, which means that there's a chance that Elder Curtis or I will not be there because transfers are on the 27th, which would be a bummer but it's no problem because Michał is so great it was just awesome to be able to teach him! We're going laser tagging with him tonight! Jan is doing fine as well. He calls and talks to me a lot, and says that he might go down to Kraków for a visit, but I'm not sure if that's going to play out in the end. Either way, I've still got four chances to go back to Szczecin!
Speaking of laser tag, we had culture night last week, too! Now, let's take a look through culture nights that have already happened, going by transfer- 1. Nothing 2. Georgian ballet 3. Trip to Toruń 4. Trip to the beach and German border 5. Opera concert 6. learning how to make Pierogi from scratch, and 7. (this transfer) Motor Cross World Championships.
Now, you may be asking "Elder Liechty, where is the culture in that?" Well this time, instead of hundred year old culture, we decided to do some modern culture. And yes, we did ask permission from our mission president. Having been there, though, I would not reccomend that missionaries go to the Motor Cross World Championships. It was probably one of the craziest things I have ever done!
Also this week, I was in Katowice for two days! Elder Curtis had to go up to Warsaw to do some legal work, and so did one of the missionaries in Kato, so I stayed with that missionary (Elder Baldwin) and spent the day here. They do a lot of less active finding, so that's what we did almost the entire day. No one was home, or they all moved away. Basically, if there's leaders of a ward or branch out there, they must know that there are better ways to find less active members than to have the missionaries knock on their doors. Please use us as a last resort! Then the next day, we had zone conference, we're going to be doing a lot more work having to do with Family History! And we also had a gift exchange! It was supposed to be random stuff that you could throw together in a few seconds, so of course the first thing that came to my mind was to give someone a rock pet. I got some incense. Our apartment smells very nice now.
We'll be at the Dalton's when skyping, but havn't figured out the times yet. It's going to be in two weeks, though! THATS SO SOON!!!!!!!
I love you all so much!
Elder Liechty
