So, Sara's computer shut down while she was trying to email us this week. So she had her cute companion forward us her family email so we could know what was going on for the week. :) we love Sister McAdams!
Cześć Wam!
This week: When we called people to invite them to the grill, they could not understand me over the phone. I was like GRILL! A GRILL! GRILL SĄDZIEDZKI! (neighborhood grill) And then their response sounds similar to this "Oh aha! To znaczy greeel" tak yes a grill.
And as you can see our Grill was awesome! The weather was cold, cloudy, and rainy all week. Until Thursday and Friday when it slowly warmed up for our perfect Saturday Grill. Patryk was the griller. Everyone else played ping-pong, card games, chatted, and then we had the piñata... and well. The ones from two weeks ago were a little broken so we just through them into plastic bags, threw them up and gave it a go. It worked, and it was hilarious.
Investigators: Marta (mom) and Krzystof (older man friend) are doing good. She's been doing her reading, and he is still open to find and have truth be revealed to him. They just want to take it a little slower and go over what their doctrine says about some certain things. Like for example infant baptism. They read Moroni chapter 8, and don't agree, so that is the topic for next week. Sister Lidia Królik said she'll come on the lesson with us too so it should be good.
Angelika mom- flaked us last week when we were supposed to go with Lidia. But it's ok,we went over there the other day and we're set up to meet again. She just forgot, and we don't have her number yet. So afterwards we just went over to Lidia's house and had a mini lesson talking about the Book of Mormon. She says it's way nicer reading through it a second time knowing what's already going to happen later. And she was also talking about the Isaiah chapters. She loves 'em! What an angel.
Krystyna- we knocked on her door last Saturday and were set up for Sunday, but she was at her sister's house. So we tried again on Monday night, and there she was waiting for us with ice cream trays and cookies ready to chat! She works at some place similar to family history, and knows that mormons have the best family history technology in the entire world and she wants the hook up. So we cut straight to the point that families are the most important thing to us and we want to be with them forever, and that is why we have temple work. And she was just gawking over it all. We showed her our family trees (thank you mom) and she was like a kid going through a candy or toy catalog looking at all the names! And then I showed her the one Aunt Robbie gave me too, and that was it, she was just drooling over it, and can't wait for us to help her find her family. She's cool, and the ice cream she gave us (Grycan) was the best.
Marta Pokojska- She has been coming to english class, and YSA, and last friday was our second real meeting with her. Daria couldn't come. So we talked about her reading from the Book of Mormon. She said she really likes 1 Nefi 17 where the women in the desert are strengthened by the Lord. And then we saw that she had all these other places marked throughout the chapters, and we were just shocked! She said that she feels a pull to it! Ughh so good! So we set a baptismal date for June 8th. Unfortunately we'll have to change it already, because
We spent a lot of the rest of the week passing out grill flyers. We stopped by crazy Gosia with her son Marcin and Victoria, they were happy to see us. Didn't come though.
Spiritual thought/ Other Insight- We spent some time weeding the garden before Saturday, gettin' some work done with my green thumb. It's cool because I also had revelacja (that's how poles say revelation sometimes) when I was reading in 2 Nephi 1 about land. It's cool how God is the creator of all the earth. And "land" is something that everyone wants. In history, everyone fought over land. God granted to the righteous the promised land. God took away the land when people were bad. And land today is also something everyone wants to possess. So I guess while reading that, and doing our weeding this week, I got to thinking how possessing land is a God-like characteristic or something. Rulers were "more powerful" when they had more land. I think of dad, clint and jayna when I think of gardening, but also how doing something like having your own garden can bring you closer to God, because you are participating in a God- like action. Creating!! It's cool. I haven't figured it all out, but it's fun to think about.
Ok well, that is all. I love you all and hope you had a great week too! And I wish you all a super warm, happy, eventful, fruitful, playful, good week this week.
love ya always,
Siostra McAdams
