Elder Fuhriman gave a less active member a haircut last week!!!
Cześć!
Yes, Easter here is three days long simply because they can do that. Sunday itself is Easter, but there's holidays on the days around it. The Monday after Easter is called Śmigus-Dyngus or, if you ever find a Polish person in the US, they'll call it Dyngus Day. Heh... But all you do on that holiday is throw water at each other! It's existed for over 1000 years, and people just keep doing it.
On Sunday we spent the day trying to talk to lonely people on the street about Easter and then we went to the Daltons' house to have Easter dinner with them and a bunch of members and some investigators. On Monday, we actually spend a lot of the day with Kamila's family and had a good ol' traditional Polish meal with all of them! The traditional meals here are really different, because they're all just made up of a bunch of different side dishes. The whole time you're like "where's the main course?" And then the dessert comes out! We've also been meeting a lot with that one person we had that really good lesson earlier, and things are going well. They've got some serious things to work out, but they're progressing.
We clean the church every week here. The only place where the members do it was in Bydgoszcz. We try to get members to do it, but they don't quite yet understand the doing it every week part of cleaning the chapel.
I still can't wait until I get to meet Henry in person!
You should read the Old Testament now that you've finished the Book of Mormon! It's really really interesting and really really hard to understand! But if you go through it with the Institute Manual then it's pretty conquerable.
Oh yeah! Kamila's birthday was on Monday and we celebrated it with the Daltons on Sunday! Speaking of the Daltons, their mission is over today! They're probably flying home right as I'm writing this email! We saw them off Monday morning, and it was really sad.
(I just wrote Zach a congrats. I totatally forgot............)
Next transfer is May 1, and wherever I go that tranfer is probably where I'm going to stay for the rest of my mission. I'm excited to find out! Trzymam Kciuki!
And seeing as it's Easter time, it's probably fitting that I say a bit about Jesus Christ.
Now, I've spent some time studying the scriptures, and sometimes I spend days just focusing on one scripture and trying to dig as deep into it as possible, but every time, after a week of study, all I come out with is nearly the exact same thing that the scripture said in the first place, just a little bit differently worded. That's because the Gospel is simple and what we're supposed to know to return to God one day is not a secret. So simple a child will understand it. Jesus Christ is our Savior and Redeemer, and through Him and only through Him will we be saved. He loves us and he suffered for us, and we need to remember Him for that! Because He remembers us, for he has engraven us on the palms of His hands. He is the Prince of Peace, and His hand is always stretched out to us.
