Sorry it is late everyone, had some internet issues on our end here, but it is all fixed again :D Don't worry nothing bad happened :)
Again, not much to report back on this week, lots of finding going on, still. But we did hav some fun stuff happen this week. It was Elder Holden's Birthday this past week. When we went out to Pizza Hut for dinner we had just finished eating and low and behold and missionary from 5 years ago notices us and comes over with his family! It was cool talking to them, what are the odds they would be able to find us in such a large city. They had met the new mission president when they were at Auschwitz earlier in the week and the AP's had told them that there were no missionaries in Wrocław...The Dad must have pronounced it wrong or something... because we are definitely here... It was cool seeing them. Later that night on mine and Elder Allred's way home we were sitting at the tramwaj stop waiting and this old lady comes and sits down next to me. I had our left over pizza in my hands and I offered some to her. She didn't look like she was in good shape. She asked if I wanted a cigaratte in return, I politely declined and told her that we are missionaries. As soon as she realized what I was talking about she just took off. It just goes to show how closed the people are here most of the time.
On thursday we had a meeting with the Shin family. They are from Korea, the kids (16 year old daughter, and 9 year old boy) both speak great polish and Korean and can understand English. But the poor mother, she speaks this interesting blend of polish and english. It makes it really interesting when trying to communicate because we don't know if we should speak in polish or in English. They were great, we stayed and built lego's with them after lunch. They are great, and so nice to us. Then we headed back to the chapel and helped Sister Kimball out with some stuff on the computer, which I am always so willing to help with ;)
Saturday we helped Sister Kimball get all of her stuff to the Dworzec for her train to Szczyrk (ya try and pronounce that one ;) for the YSA Activity they have this week. Luckily the weather wasn't too bad that day and the train wasn't rerouted or late or anything like that. Back to the weather though... We just went through a heat wave here where it got suuuuper hot. Then the next day it poured rain and cooled off a lot! It has been raining for like 4 days now, but today the sun is out and it isn't too hot. It has been really crazy weather, never seen anything like it. There really isn't a nice happy medium that is stays at here, its really weird. I also called someone that had stopped us on the street earlier in the week and asked if we could set up with him. He said that he would be in church on sunday :D so I just said we would talk about it then.
Sunday rolled around, Stanisław didn't (that was the guy I called) hopefully he is okay, he is pretty old and apparently has come to church before so...we'll see. The openning prayer for Sacrament Meeting was given by 8 year old Cynthia Call, so I don't wanna hear any complaining out of you guys back home when you are asked to give a prayer in Sacrament Meeting :P And yes, I played the hymns again, and will probably do it again this week. The Branch President here said to me "If I keep forgetting to do those CD's you are going to get really good at playing the piano!" lol...
Well, that is pretty much it, I hope it was longer than last weeks... I had to type this one up in a text document because the internet is currently down...so hopefully it comes back up soon so I can post it :D
Love you all!
