hey momma!!!
yes I am understanding the language more and more every day,
it is so cool, prayer works! and heavenly father is real and blesses us! I know
it with all my heart now.yeah it is very weird being so far ahead of you, when
I go to sleep at 10:30 (exact obedience right?) you guys just barely hit noon
in your day, its pretty funny. everything is going awesome, and I truly am
having the time of my life, right now, nothing could be better for me
than serving the Lord, and apparently my friends and cousins are doing the same
thing, and it just makes me so happy, Poland is the best, its so beautiful, and
just awesome, just pure awesomeness. last week we went to this huge castle,
called ogrodzieniec, its the oldest one in Poland, and I will put the pictures
on my google drive so you can see them.
so for some awesome times on the mission for
this week. I went on an exchange in kraków for the day of Monday, so I got
to experience missionary culture in a different city in Poland, it was fun, we
did a finding activity for like 5 hours, it was pretty long, and at the
end I had a conversation with a very atheist man, in English, because he wanted
to speak English, and I couldn't say what I needed to say in polish... yet,
so it was good. its funny how people really want like a physical representation
of God, like a sign from heaven or something, and they
just don't understand that god knows each one of us, and when we receive
our message that this church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day
Saints, is the ONLY true church on the Earth, it is very personal,
and it is given to you in the exact way that our Heavenly Father knows you
will accept it, we don't need a scientific journal telling us that
God is real, all we have to do is ASK, and we will receive, its that simple.
so we are still contacting in the giant park, and we have kind of mapped
out areas that people are generally walking and sitting, and the first week
that we tried in the park we had no lessons, and hardly anyone stopped to talk
to us, but slowly we have started to have more success, we taught a young man,
who is an agnostic, and the conversation was very interesting, because he said
to us that he didn't believe in God, but then he like started looking around at
the beauty around him and then said to us, I want to know if God is real, so we
gave him a Book of Mormon and we exchanged phone numbers, and he commited to
read it. we did a few white-boards and free tables with our district, we
handed out books and talked to people, it was so fun and so
good. Then on Sunday, a less-active member that we tried to contact CAME
TO CHURCH! his wife had told us that he would be on vacation for two weeks
(2 Nephi 9:34), but he showed up, it was so cool. our prayers are being
answered, the lord is in our lives, and now that he has given us strength
to push harder, it is time to pray more, and work harder, and I know that
when we work hard the lord blesses us with strength, and then it is our
responsibility to use that additional strength to push harder, and receive
more, and then push harder again, so we are constantly progressing,
and constantly learning more, and I know that when we do that, our
heavenly father will look down on us, and with a tear in his eye, his
heart will swell with pride, and he will embrace us with the loving and warm
feeling of the Holy Ghost in our lives.
love,
elder summers
