Cześć
Family and Friends!!!!
I
hope you all had an amazing Thanksgiving! We had a good week and there was
plenty of indyk (turkey) eaten!
This
week we weren't able to meet with our investigators because they both were
sick! However, they are both doing really well! We are set up to meet this next
week!
We
had kind of a slow week contacting but we are continuing to see miracles
every day! We met with a couple of people that we had met previously. A few
were males but they agreed to meet with the elders so the work is moving
forward here in Warsaw!!
Thanksgiving
was amazing!! It started off with a lesson with this woman we called from our
area book! We showed up at her apartment. We walked in and seriously it was the
most amazing place ever! She is a fashion designer that has been all over. She told us her life story! Her apartment
looked straight out of a movie set! We were dying! She is a really spiritual
person and we are excited to see where it all goes with her!
Thanksgiving
night we were invited over to an American Family's house and boy were we
spoiled! They brought out the turkey and really it looked like it should be in
a magazine!! There was so much good food and we were so grateful to be able to
spend Thanksgiving with them! We also had a surprise guest! Sister Beem and I
were sitting waiting to eat when the doorbell rings and the youngest daughter
says, " Oh the Tureks are here!" Sister Beem and I looked at each
other wide eyed and then we both started laughing! It was so much fun to be
able to have Thanksgiving with our mission president and his family! We were
laughing throughout the night! I just could not help and feel so grateful the
entire day!
Now
I know you may be thinking that Thanksgving ended that day but here comes
Thanksgiving round 2!! As we were walking to the American Familiy's house we
needed to call the elders, They were suppose to have had Thanksgiving earlier
that day! We call them and to our surprise they weren't able to make it there
and their Thanksgiving day hadn't been the best! Sister Beem and I decided to
provide Thanksgiving for them the following day! We told them to meet us at the
chapel for their lunch hour! We ended up making an entire thanksgiving meal
(minus the turkey, chicken was provided by KFC)! They showed up and we all sat
down as a district for Thanksgiving round two! It was so much fun and one of my
favorite memories from my mission! I really could not be more grateful for my
district!
I
want to give a little update on our fish! He is doing amazing! He has really
changed his life and even better he wants to change! He is so much happier and
there is definitely a different light to him! I could not be more proud of him!
He is headed in the right direction and he is making the change because he has
a desire to do so! This is what the gospel is all about!!!!
I
don't have much to write this week but I do want to invite you all to check out
the Christmas video provided by the Church! The theme for this year is
"light the world!" The video is incredible and it shows simple ways
we can make the world a little brighter! This month Sister Beem and I are
starting 25 days of service! The Church is also doing a similar thing! We will
be doing an act of service each day leading up to Christmas! This is one way we
can make the world a brighter place! I invite you all to think of something you
can do during this Holiday Season to make the world a brighter place and light
the way to Christ! He is the reason for the season! He has brought so much
light into my life and I am grateful I have this time to bring that light to
others!
Świeć
Śwaitu!!
Light
the world!!!
Kocham
Was!!!!
