Gdansk, week 9!

Czesc!!

Hi family! It was seriously SO GOOD to talk to all of you yesterday! It made me so happy to hear your voices and just talk :) Always remember how much I love all of you. I really do and I pray for you everyday. Speaking of prayer, thank you for your prayers and faith. I really appreciate the time you take to pray for me and the people of Poland. Thank you!

Sister McAdams is such a good trainer. We are learning a lot together about teaching by the Spirit. This week she has taught me a lot about listening and how to always keep learning. She really appreciates every chance we have to improve and I love working with her.

Miracles this week:
*Finding 3 new investigators! A hardcore Catholic, an atheist, and a Muslim all living together in the same apt! So great :D They all want to read the Book of Mormon and meet again. One thought we were Amish at first but that got cleared up.
*Wonderful YSA activity with pinatas! Pictures to come. We love candy and making fools of ourselves.
*Met with a woman named Beata who met the sisters a year ago on a whiteboard. She knew the Catholic church wasn't right because she said she sat in there praying to stones and idols and it didn't do anything. So now she is Pentacostal but she was happy to hear we recognize Christ as our Savior! She had no idea before that haha. Anyway she has 3 blonde little boys all under the age of 5 who are SO CUTE. We love their family already.

Something I learned in Preach My Gospel this week was about the Plan of Salvation. I studied a lot about the Plan in 2 Nephi 2 and found cross references to the Bible about the war in heaven, our pre-mortal existence, and our life on earth. It was very enlightening and it increased my gratitude for the Book of Mormon which really helps us understand the Plan of Salvation better. Marta and Aldona (our Jehovah's Witnesses) don't have in their doctrine that God knew the Fall was a necessary part for our learning and growth. It's so good to know that Heavenly Father knows everything and He has planned it out.

We invited the Spirit this week by: being guided by the Spirit in lessons and humbling seeking answers to our questions/problems from the Lord. Oftentimes this week it meant being patient and waiting upon the Lord to give us guidance through the Spirit. Patience is something we are both striving for and we have seen the results of that this week. 

Thank you for all that you do and for who you are.
