This week was a very busy week for us here in the office. Zone Conferences were this week so we were busy getting things ready to be shipped out to the mission, gathering up all the mail for all the missionaries. We had to pick up someone from England at the Airport. She came to help get all the financial stuff in order here in the Office, Elder Richards was very grateful for the training and help. We also had to take her back a few days later.
A few of our days this week were quite literally planned down to the minute, which is kinda odd here because we generally have some spare time somewhere.
On Monday we had planned with 2 other missionary companionships (Elders Lundin, Kalinowski, Hancock and Waits) here in Poland to go to Adam's Ties :D there are more ties there than I ever dreamed to see in one place... And they are gorgeous...and super cheap. 28zł for one tie, that is about 10$ and these things are top quality, it is amazing, I am going to come home with enough ties that I won't have to wear one twice in a year :) It was a super fun trip and we should be going again towards the beginning of February when everyone has more money again.
We had a great lesson with Stanisław (Staa-nee-swaav) and Wiesława (Vee-eswaa-vaa) (the aa sounds like the "o" in "on") on Tuesday at the Chapel. We talked about the 4th lesson and the Commandments. They already knew all of them and were extremely accepting. It feels kinda weird teaching them sometimes because they have prepared themselves so well over such a long period of time that they already know everything, which is totally opposite of anyone else I have ever taught out here. We also talked about what they thought of the baptism that they attended with us last Saturday. They really enjoyed the opportunity to see how everything goes. We set up with them to have their interviews on the next Tuesday. They are super prepared and I don't think that there is anything that could stop them at this point, they have already overcome a lot and made the decision to be baptized before even meeting with us again. It is so amazing to me how some people are so prepared to hear the Gospel while others can't even begin to fathom changing their ways in the least.
We have been keeping busy here in the Office, I am still on mission tech support lol. Elder Darowski is on a mission to get peoples records where they should be and the Branch Boundaries in the right places. Elder Darowski was also able to finally pick up his Decision that says he is now legal in Poland!!!! He was super happy, no more flights to England for him! We took care of our weekly office duties including all the stuff at the Post office...lots of fun...
Today for P-Day we went and did Yoga!!! It was super fun, and there were WAY more people there than we expected. I think we may be doing that kinda regularly for a P-Day activity. We also had the hope to go to the big park here in Warsaw because the sky was actually blue this morning and the sun was out! But when we got out of Yoga all relaxed and everything the sky was grey and kinda bleak so that plan got shot down
Well, that is pretty much it for this week, in a week we will be having our baptism for Stanisław and Wiesława! It will be amazing! Pray for them to have an amazingly spiritual experience as they follow Christ's example.
Have a Great week!!!!
