Calm, peace and upliftment

This week I have run out of time - this email session has been a little more excited with the lead up to Kristin and Zach's wedding! Życzę wam wszystkiego najlepszego! 

I had the wonderful opportunity to go back to Wrocław for the first time since I was trained there. I connected with Danuta and Bolesław and enjoyed being back. It is incredible to think about how long ago my time there was, how much has changed yet how similar the roads and buildings are. 

In Warsaw there is a "Noc Muzeów" (Night of museums) once a year. It occured this past Saturday and our members organized an open house event at our chapel to invite those exploring the city that night. It was an incredible experience. The members put a lot of preparation into it, I was blown away by how many entered through the doors. I had multiple conversations with members and those interested. Seeing the members share not only what we believe but the personal application of this light and truth in their life was incredible. I would like to add my conviction of the light that comes from Christ. 

This past week I struggled and dipped down to some of the same problems I had during my "dark period" in Gdańsk. Confusion, loss of hope, isolation. I am forever thankful for the gift of the Holy Ghost. It brings light into our lives. There are so many sources of information and noise, I get overwhelmed and frustrated. When the light, calm, and peace of truth enters my heart it is unmistakable. It is loving, patient, and makes me better. 

We are working with Karol, Adam, and Sergei - younger guys in their 20s. There is a lot of good going on here!
