No witam, witam

Elder Fuhriman is great! (I was spelling his name wrong last week) It's been about 8 months since I was with a missionary who had been out longer than 6 months, so it's great to have some of the load lifted off. And since he's from Ukraine, he's got a little bit of the Slavic attitude, and it's already helped me understand how to work with the people here much better. Basically, when we would be trying to figure out some special way to do something to make sure that there's no problems or no one even gets the slightest bit offended, he would just do it and not really care what happens as an effect. And it turns out that the Polish people really like that way of thinking, much more than trying to beat around the bush or make really complicated and detailed plans. He's from West Jordan

Being Zone leader so far isn't really different. Every Sunday we talk to all the district leaders in our zone, and figure out how all the work is going for them, and then report to the mission president, we also go to meetings called MLC, where all the zone leaders and sister training leaders get together and figure out what the mission needs to move along. We do also lead two Zone trainings a transfer. That's basically the jist of it.

That may have been a bit of an exaggeration, but just the missionaries that I would be serving around in Wrocław, no one was sad that I had to stay around them in Kraków for another two months ;)

I still have not gotten the pictures from Elder Dalton... And unfortunately, I won't be seeing the Cuttings before they leave, I'm pretty sad about that, but we're definitely going to meet up after I get home! 

(how did Elder Wynne know about me? I didn't know who he was until he was long gone back home...)

In all my memory, I think I've heard Dad give a talk in church, and I don't think I've ever heard you, mom! Tell me how it goes! Relief society is kind of strange here, because the RS president lives over 2 hours away from anyone else in the branch, and there's so few women in the branch anyway! But all of our investigators except one are girls right now, so that will hopefully help out ;)

Speaking of everyone being girls, we had our english class this week, and 30 people came! That's more than ever before, at the beginning of that transfer, there were two people coming. But of those 30 people, about 26 or 27 of them were girls. We talk to everyone about it, but this happened... We're working on a solution, it's not a very good situation for the elders.

That's all for this week!

Love,

Elder Liechty
