Dear Family,
Such a crazy, amazing week!
I love Sister Ostler. She gets the big picture. I've been learning a lot from her this week. She's taught be so much about the basic things. Kindness. Helping others be happy within their families. She's so real in the way she does missionary work and I love her sincerity. We're both working especially hard lately to put off our natural women and help each other to do so. Our Christ-like attribute for this week is: kindness. We are striving to be like Christ in a very fundamental way, loving every single person that we come across and treating them like He would.
Also something I learned in the Book of Mormon this week was how Ammon didn't start teaching Lamoni until he had served him and Lamoni had the desire to know. It really stood out to me this time reading that first he served and then Lamoni was willing to listen. We are going to be like Ammon especially this week by finding through service.
We invited the Spirit this week by working on our prayers. We wanted our prayers to be more specific and heartfelt . Having the baptism was such a blessing and I felt so happy. I can't even describe what it was like to see Basia really yearn to be closer to Christ. Sister Ostler told her after the baptism "You look beautiful" and Basia replied, "I know! It's because I'm without sin." You can really see the light in her eyes and I'm so grateful that we got to be a part of this experience! It's important to remember though that we really didn't do anything. Her whole conversion was led and guided by the Spirit.
Other amazing things this week:
*Great lesson with Janina (see picture) and she made us perogis with wild berries that she picked for over 6 hours! They were SO DELICIOUS.
*Agnieszka is doing great! She and her kids helped clean the chapel this Saturday and she stayed up til 3 am two nights ago reading Gospel Principles and the RS handbook. Keep praying for her :) oh and Mom, look for her friend request on Facebook, we told her to add you! Lidia came with us on a lesson with her this week and it was so much fun.
*always remember an umbrella...we got drenched a few times this week! In the morning it is all sunny and then in the afternoon...BURZA (storm)!
Thank you for all you do and for who you are.
