Okay I am going to try something a little different this week since the day by day is getting a bit tedious. I am just going to write about things that stuck out to me in the Week that I wrote down somewhere to keep track of :D And hopefully this will turn out to be a bit more meaningful and less monotonous.
On Thursday this week was something in Poland that they call Tłusty Czwartek (Greasy Thursday) Where all the stores make tons of Pączki (Doughnuts, kind of) and people eat tons of them. They do this before the month long fast where they can't eat some meats on Fridays. It was fun we had some and they are way good. Later that night Our landlady Małgosia had us over to eat some of her homemade ones...WOW they were soooo good, ate like 8 of them x_x so good. It was a very intersting Holiday. We also did a lot of my legal work on Thursday, or at least tried...Had to go back on Friday to actually get most of it done, Małgosia was kind enough to help us figure out exactly what we had to do. Now I am just waiting for them to decide if I am okay to stay in the country, will check back in a couple weeks to see what they decided lol.
Saturday we had another adventure. We had previously received a referral from the office in Warsaw for someone who lives in "Kaczyce" Took forever just to find the little city... One of our members here, Sławek, was kind enough to offer to drive us out there. An hour and a half later we got to where it should have been...We asked around only to discover that the place doesn't exist........sad day. Hopefully it was just a miscommunication on information and not someone playing a prank on the church. We did find a really really old (800 years old) Catholic church nearby though. So Sławek being the history buff he is wanted to check it out. We walked around and then as we were leaving found someone that could open the doors and let us in. It was way shinny inside. Lots of gold plated stuff everywhere and pictures. Rather odd pictures actually, There was a skeleton with a scythe on one wall, and above it was a large mural of an inquisition....there was a man lying on the ground in the picture with his head chopped off and blood gushing out.......pretty weird for a church if you ask me. After that we returned home we went to Sławeks house for some tea and dinner. He is so nice to us :D And he is always at family home evening to fellowship the investigators and he brings his son.
Well the last big thing that happened this week occured when we got a phone call from President. He talked to Elder Andterton for a while, then Elder Handley, then Elder Anderton, then....me.....? It was weird cause no one ever asks to talk to me on the phone...weird. He talked to me for a bit, asked how things were going. Then he informed me that because so many Elders are going home in the next transfer there needs to be a mini transfer to make sure that none of the areas have 2 new Elders that don't know the city or people. Then he told me that I would be leaving Kielce to server in Lublin with Elder Beaty. I was so excited inside I could barely keep my composure. I have heard only good things about Edler Beaty from Elder Garrett who was in the MTC with me. I am excited to get there and be able to get out and do a lot more missionary work than we have been doing here in Kielce. Hopefully Elder Beaty is still excited to be here!!! I am pumped for this next transfer even though I will be leaving all the people I have gotten to know here in Kielce.
Well that is it for my Update this week, sorry it it shorter but I think it has the juicy stuff of the week. I will see if I can keep this up :D
Thanks for reading, I will be back next week with another update!!!
