hey
momma!!
yeah i guess i am a
chef now haha, but i have to be, i guess i have to be my own mother for two years haha. the
members in Łódź are really cool, they are strong members with great spirits, it
is really difficult to understand them when they talk though, because during
church they use a lot of biblical speech, and a lot of idioms, which just fly
over my head, i try to translate it and it makes no sense at all, but hey i can
get the basic idea of what they are saying to me at 100 mph so im happy with
it. but they are good, we have about 15 every week that are strong members, and my companion and i just helped a less-active see the light of the gospel
again, and he has made the decision to begin his spiritual journey once again.
so my favorite treat right now in poland, is something that you will find out
about later, because i just sent you some today, its the christmas package i
promised to send, it will hopefully get there before new years, if not oh well,
i am just going to pray that it gets there safe and sound. Iit makes me so happy to hear that you are all doing good, you are moved
in and making the house your own. yeah i know we watched our savior descend and be born, and i
know that we were singing together as one big happy family, i bet it was
awesome.
So my companion and I had some pretty cool experiences this week: The first happened on Tuesday. We were teaching a less-active named Wojtek about the enabling power of the Atonement, and it went really well, Wojtek is doing really great, he was a less-active when I arrived here, and now he has come to church for two weeks, and is on the path to receive the priesthood. It has been such an honor to work with him, and see the things that have changed with him, even in these last two weeks, it is amazing what this church will do to people when they submit their will to Heavenly Father's will, it will always change people, and always for the better. So after our lesson on Tuesday with Wojtek we were waiting in the chapel for an investigator that the other Elders had a lesson planned with, but we waited for almost an hour and didn't show, so my companion and I were heading out to find a different less-active, and we were walking by the chapel and saw someone walking near it, and it was the investigator, he is from Africa. He has been in Poland for 8 months and can speak very well, and very confidently. So we had a lesson with him, all about the Restoration, and it was incredible, we went through the entire lesson, which lasted about an hour. And after ward he said that this was crazy, about Joseph Smith and angels, and God and Jesus Christ appearing to him, but then he said that if it is true, it would be very important, so he wants to find out if it is true. When I heard that I was so happy, because I know that if he truly wants to find out if it is true, he will receive an answer, and that answer will be yes, and it will change his life. The peace that I have found in this gospel can not be described by any words at all. Answers to life's big questions will always be answered by this gospel, always. This gospel is the way to pure knowledge and peace, it is the gateway to never-ending happiness and security, it is the strait, narrow, and safe path through our lives, and the path back to our Heavenly Father.
