walentynki - valentines
What a beautiful week.
We have been crazy crazy busy, there has been some running to catch trams and
trains and then some more running to the next tram stop because maybe a tram
never came. At the end of each day we were exhausted, and by the end of the
week, even more so. However we made it to all of our appointments on time and
everything worked out splendidly! I would take last week again any time.
-we tried to make our
finding activity this week in spirit of Valentine's. One man from Moscow was so
thrilled, he wanted to to pay us, nie wolno. He came back and brought us red
tulips! We even got some flowers this Valentine's weekend.
We were able to have a
number of lessons with a member present like never before. I have such a great
appreciation for the lessons we were able to teach. The quality of the lessons
went up, the level of understanding went up, and the feelings of the Spirit
testifying of the truths being taught was so much stronger. I have a much
deeper appreciation for member present lessons and more motivation than before
to try and involve members. It is hard with so few here, but we were able to
make a member match up with one of the lovely people we are teaching and we met
a few times this week! It has been a whole new mission experience for me! I am
so thankful for this week and the members that really stepped up!
We also made some
heart shaped brownies (we found a pan in the kitchen, probably left behind by
some past sister) and had a Service Saturday! We made some good old fashioned
brownies with a little note and a scripture attached (John 13:34). The
members were so delighted and surprised, I feel like we really did our best to
make the most out of St. Valentine's Day this year.
And the best part is,
that's not all! Our time together isn't over yet! We got our transfer calls
and....
These next ten weeks
Sister Dekker and I will be staying together in Gdańsk!
Hooray! So we're
pretty happy about that, these next ten weeks are going to be such a blur. I am
excited and already we're making plans for the wonderful things we hope to
accomplish!
