8 May 2017



HELLLOOOOOOOOOOO

Guess where we went today?! KRAKÓW! I guess that's what happens when you live right next to that city, and everyone wants to visit it for P-day. I got to see Michał, though!

Anyway, I actually really love it here! There might not be much to talk about this week, because we have NO current investigators, and all week we did finding activities! Which was actually really fun, and when I decided that I was going to enjoy it, and work hard for the whole time I was here, it became WAY easier to go through two 3 hour finding activities a day! That only happened once. But really, if you want to hear about the nitty gritty, then Katowice is the place to hear it. Mostly because it's really dirty here. There's also a higher concentration of drunk people that we meet on a daily basis.

I actually really like it here! My district is still awesome, and we've all been given the assignment to bring life back into this branch. Like Kraków, there ahsn't been a baptism here for about two years, and all the members are kind of feeling a little down about it, and that this branch is going to be like it is until the end of time. We had a meeting with President Turek, and he told us that he brought us all together so that we could figure out how to bring this branch back to life. Everyone in this city is are really hard workers, and know what they're doing, so President is really not messing around this time. We've been working super hard, and now have like five or six meetings set up for the next week! This is truly going to be a transfer of miracles!

The branch is also small, and there's mostly Polish people, and two people from South Africa. The most foreign person though is probably Elder Sommerfeldt, Canada is just such a wacky place. He's just got all his crazy cultural ways and things he does that are so different from Americans that it's really hard to connect with him sometimes. We try to learn Canadian to communicate, but it's just such a difficult language that we've all but given up, eh.

lololololololololololololololololololololololol (OH Sam, trying to be hilarious:)

Elder Sommerfeldt is awsome, we get along really well, and have already cooked one meal together! That's better than at least half of my companions so far! Sorry if I offended any Canadians reading this, but it had to happen. I'm sure you understand. He's really willing to work, and we get a lot done here! We're also speaking a ton of Polish together, and it's really helping me speak!

Nick asked you about skyping times because he was the only member we knew who would be willing to help and do it really quick. I'm going to Skype you at 8AM your time, so get your tv's ready for the LAST SKYPE of the mission!!

Oh yeah, I still play the piano. I played almost every day in Kraków as well, except for a few when Sister Dalton would play. If we add up the total Times I ddin't play, it's probably about 10. Elder Rowley is in Warsaw now! He's a zone leader as well, and doing great. He just texted me about the first pug he saw in Warsaw. We keep a pug sighting count between the two of us because pugs are the best.

Kato is different from Kraków mostly in just the looks. For the most part it's the same place just with a differnt shape. The one difference is that we travel a lot more to other cities surrounding Kato to do finding activities or looking for less active members. They also say it's the city of Hip-hop. I have yet to hear any hip-hop music, though.

Also I saw a bunch of ads for that movie (The Zookeepers Wife)! In polish it's just Azyl, which means assylum, but I guess it's pretty much the same thing. That's sounds really cool! I want to see it. Also, I only know that word because I"ve started working my way through a little pocket dictionary and finding all the words I don't know. Azyl was one of them. But I'm not sure if it's helpful or not, because now I just see a bunch of wordes all over the place, and It's like 'wow, i've seen this before, but I have no idea what it means!'. I've made it to 'E'.

We do have some investigators! Meaning we just set up meetings with them, but they're going to start coming more and more! Also, the other elders are getting investigators, too, so things are picking up here really fast!

Ok, I"m running out of time now but I love you all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
