A week of miracles!

This week we had zone conference in Warsaw and were counseled on obedience, what I took away from it was that we can't be perfect all the time, but each attempt we make brings us closer to Heavenly Father and that we are always in the embrace of the Savior. Here are five blessings of obedience:

-Miracles

-Courage

-Love

-Confidence

-Loyalty

Heavenly Father gives us commandments in order to protect us in a chaotic world and we in turn love Him by obeying His counsel. I know that Jesus Christ is not a condemning Savior, he only wants to protect us. I'll tell you something, there has not been a moment where I have felt like I have been in danger because our companionship has taken steps to be exactly obedient, and it has made all the difference! We look out for each other and have been able to be more emotionally aware of each other as well. Our companionship has truly felt the blessings mentioned above and more! I love the Gospel!

If you don't feel light around you, be that light!

Hi everyone! Here's a little bit about Łodź:

1. The name of the city means boat

2. Łódź specializes in manufacturing

3. The babcie (grandmothers/old ladies) feed the pigeons bread because they believe them to be dead popes.

Poland is seeming more and more like Panem!

Siostra Slagowska and I decided to kill two birds with one stone this week and contact on both sides of Piotrkowska street.I met a lady named Ela and talked to her about the Book of Mormon, and that experience was amazing! My Polish may not be good, but she listened so intently to what I had to say! She even took a Księga Mormona! I was very scared at first to talk to people without my companion, but I could feel peace as people stopped and listened to my testimony in broken Polish. I was so busy contacting that I lost track of my companion, and just kept going up the street to find her. We found each other after about 40 minutes! It was crazy, she thought I'd gotten kidnapped!

This whole experience testified to me of obedience and striving to remain worthy of the Spirit! So many miracles!

Łódź is amazing!!

Dzień dobry, Rodzina!!

This week, we got to host a mini-missionary from Warsaw, and her name is Róża! She was baptized in December and she is the sweetest! Even though I can sometimes get my point across in toddler Polish, it was really great to work with her during contacting to figure out a better way to communicate! Róża is planning on serving a full-time mission soon! She will be amazing!

We were able to teach our new investigator Ewelina about having faith in the commandments of G-d, even if we might not quite know why He commands us to do so. Sometimes we might not know why we have trials, or why the Lord has set certain standards for His disciples, like not drinking tea, or dressing modestly, but if we only trust in Him, and obey with exact obedience, He will bless us. That is what I have experienced going running every morning, I might not want to, but it is the Lord's standard to keep His missionaries healthy and strong, and I have always found that I feel great afterwards. The thing to remember when asking people to accept and follow the Lord's commandments is that even though they will have to let go of certain habits, clothing, and even friends, they can find the eternal happiness they have always sought. I love Poland and the Polish people!

Poland!!

What's up, everyone??

Sorry I ran out of time to write last week! We had a great flight to Poland! First we went to Houston, Texas, then to Munich, Germany, then to Warsaw! We went contacting on the Rynek and it was awesome! People are friendly in Warsaw!

My first area is Łódź, and it is a magical place! My trainer's name is Siostra Slagowska and she is from Lehi, Utah and she's been here for six months!

The Lord's hand has been strong in my life, even when I hadn't wanted to notice. Just like the Lord prepares the people who have the Gospel ministered to them, He prepares His missionaries, and when I think about the people of Poland, they remind me of my family. Both groups are not aware of the eternal happiness they could have as they become disciples of Christ. It hurts my heart to see the paths of some of the people we meet have taken, but I have hope that they will be open to our message one day. I know this mission will not be easy always, but I think about the missionaries in Alma 26 and how they pressed forward, and I think about how much sacrifice went into building the Lord's church and remind myself that I need to do my part.
