Different strengths, different roles

First week here in Gdańsk, still figuring things out so I have next to no time but:

- my district is the best, I love being in a small group again and it's fun to be reunited with Elder Platter as well as Sister Wood

- Gdańsk is the prettiest city I've been to, everywhere we go is incredible - it was a hard change, leaving Warsaw was not easy, but I am already starting to fall in love with the city so the adjustment hasn't taken long

- Our branch is great, President Kempa (ranch president) and Patryk (20 year old branch mission leader) are awesome supports. Gosia and Martyn are a couple that were just sealed in the Stockholm temple this past week. There are a bunch of older sisters and then 4 kids - it's a bunch of fun. Stan is not a member but comes to church, we met with him and met his parents. We are getting to know the people

- There have been many miracles, from a family I met on the train here, to a couple we met yesterday. We are working hard and having fun.

- We got a knife pulled on us yesterday, we weren't really threatened but it was still a little freaky...

- quick thought: before I left Warsaw Elder Garrett wisely reminded me that we all have different strengths in order to fulfill different roles. I have seen that so many times already since being in Gdańsk. Yesterday at church I noticed a theme of the gospel being about the journey of our progress. We fall but then get back up, when we are doing it with others it is infinitly easier and as we all play our part we will fill a need in the lives of others.

Always pray, it's the only way to get to know Heavenly Father and receive blessings He is waiting to give you.
