Holy Smokes another week past just like that.
This past week really is just a blur it happened so fast! On wednesday we helped Clean up the chapel after the new floor was done being installed. We were really happy to finally have it finished and not smelling like rotting wood in the chapel... Then we had a lot of other Branch President stuff we had to take care of at the chapel so we spent a lot of our day there, cleaning and organizing everything for Sunday when we would have Branch Conference and coincidence would have it that we would have the entire mission presidency there with us.
Thursday we were finally going to have a sports day!!! And then the sisters forgot their sports clothes! And no one showed up anyways ;_; sad day. We also had our regularly scheduled meeting with Bożena on Thursday. She is so fun and somehow finds a way to stay happy even though she has such a hard life. She has to have dialasis every other day... But she is always so fun and happy. It is always wonderful to go visit with her.
Friday we had some lessons and they went okay, again only with members. I have not yet had a lesson with an investigator since being in Poznań... I blame the fact that we spend so much time doing Branch President work, like I have done my entire mission... It would be nice to have a normal companion that isn't also Branch President... they are always so stressed out. Later we went out looking for a place we had been told about where we could rent bikes for "free". We found it, then discovered it was not free, but 5 zł which is about 1.50$ so still really cheap but...not free :( We had an activity planned for Saturday to go on a Branch Bike ride, so we needed to scout it out and plan it a bit more. We decided to rent the bikes for a bit and explore, see where we could go. Saw some cool places, it was really nice to finally ride a bike on my mission lol. The activity on Saturday of course fell through because no one showed up... The branch has a unity problem here... So on Saturday we spent a long time contacting on the street. I am getting better, I can speak just fine, it is just hard to say the first words, always the scariest part.
Sunday we finally had the Branch Conference and all the Leaders showed up and we had pretty good church attendence. The Sisters investigator (who has a baptismal date!!!) Showed up and had a great experience hearing from the church leadership in Poland! After church we had to stick around for some meetings, then later we had a small whiteboard with no whiteboard lol so a no board... just group contacting really, it was fun.
Monday I had an exchange with Elder Tribe in Bydgoszcz, it was fun he is great. And now I am out of time and still have to write my letter to president!!! YIKES!!!
I love you all! We are trying to get 15 baptisms this month as a mission goal before president goes home at the end of the month, pray for us! We need a miracle!
