Nie bój się, tylko wierz!

Drodzy ukochani, 

I hope that all of you had a great week. This week was jam packed of excitement and activity! 

I cannot believe that I have now been a high school graduate for over a year! Time keeps flying by, quicker and quicker. In some ways that sounds quite young, having just graduated from high school but it is jetting by. 

Here are the highlights of the week:

1. Elder Platter and I had an afternoon with Elder Caskey (zone leader and in our district) because Elder Blom (Elder Caskey's companion was on the train coming back from an exchange with other missionaries in Kielce). We went to the park right by our place and it lively! This past Saturday was Children's day, "Dzień Dziecka" and the park, which is usually quite calm was full of booths and activity. One of the highlights was a stage with these kids performing the Lion King in Polish - pretty cool.

2. We took our culture night (once a transfer) with the missionaries in our district and explored parts of Warsaw. I love this city so much! I have a lot of pictures this week and it made me realize how the pictures I send home represent so little of what my mission is. My pictures are usually of us missionaries on our free days or culture nights. I wish I could get pictures of all the people I meet and work with - where I spend almost all of my time but I guess my written record is good enough and the pictures help you see all of the fun we have as well.

3. We have worked with the Branch President (the leader of our local congregation) and his wife - President and Sister Jagard - a lot recently. Sister Jagard accompanied us on a lesson, then we went over to their place to teach family home evening (they have three little kids) and then on Dzień Dziecka there was a primary activity that we helped in all phases. They are American but both served missions in Poland (how they met) and it was really fun to get to work with them. It was a definite role reversal being the missionaries coming over the to the church members house. They are an awesome family.

4. We met with this really cool guy named Kamil and he agreed to be baptized June 28th once he receives the answer that our message is true. We also met Rafał who has had some bad health but prayed to God to live and find greater purpose/ direction in life and then met us and took it to be his answer. 

5. Life is good. The transfer is almost over .

I love you all!

On P-day we rented the city bikes and road around Park Saski where the country of Poland was dedicated for missionary work. It was beautiful and fun!
