Sister
Craig sent me a little SMS this morning wishing me a Happy Ten Months. I've
been a missionary for 10 months! "That's WILD!" as Sister Person
would say.
This week we had Zone
training. Lucky me and Elder Cotou got to lead this one. It was crazy with all
the interruptions we had in such a short time to plan it. However we managed
and all was well. At the end I was so touched when people expressed their
gratitude. I really didn't feel like I had done that much, but it was much
appreciated afterwards. On the train ride home, I finally relaxed. Zone
training? Check.
A goal I hope to
accomplish this transfer is feeling connected with the sisters. We are all so
spread apart, it is easy to forget there are other sisters here. I am excited
for exchanges. Both sets of sister will be coming here to Gdańsk! Sister Dekker
and I are going to show them around our lovely area and the things we do. Czyli
trackting trackting trackting. We actually don't get to go trackting as much as
I would like. Believe it or not. We do do other things. We have our English
course, english klub, YW, district meeting, other meetings, lessons, finding
activities, we help members, we translate things, it's always changing.
Last week I learned a
valuable lesson, a lot can come from a small, simple, and genuine gesture. I
had talked with a member a bit ago. He encouraged Sister Dekker and I to reach
out to some people we had not successfully had contact with. We were
counselling with him about our lack of contact with some people. We sent out a
little note when we felt was appropriate, just letting people know we were
thinking about them and that we cared. Well we have had contact with all of
these people and we were able to have a meeting too! We're even set up for some
more meetings this week. SO don't be afraid to reach out. A small, simple and
genuine gesture can go a long ways. Nauka nie poszła w las. (The lesson did not
go unlearned.)
