Hope you all are well and enjoying the summer heat. This week has been an awesome one! Maybe the best week of my mission! It's been amazing!
I got transferred to Białystok last Monday, and let me tell you, this area is fire! I absolutely love it here! It is so awesome! The people here are amazing from what I've seen so far, and the majority of them are Polish which is awesome!! I'm using a ton of Polish now.😅
We started this week running and have been trying to build our teaching pool as quickly as possible. We messaged every member in our group here and invited them to church. It's only about 10, so that wasn't to hard.😅 Because we had a teaching pool of 3 when we got here, we had a lot of finding time on day one, and it was so nice. We got to work and just started messaging people on Facebook.
After a lot of messaging, people started opening up, and we started setting up meeting after meeting! The work started picking up so much that the only finding time we have had the past few days has been during lunch and dinner. We've been booked out with lessons and zone leader responsibilities the whole week. It has been so awesome!
This past week we were able to find 6 people prepared to here our message! That is a huge blessing, considering the area hasn't found 6 people in total in the last probably 6-8 months. The Lord really opened the windows of heaven here and I'm just grateful to witness it.
We met our group this Sunday as well... Um yeah let's just say we're going to be establishing order... A lot of it. Lack of order, reverence, obedience, and respect in Church doesn't really fly with me... Like at all. I'm going to be as Christlike as possible about it... I'll just follow Christ's example in the Bible video where he cleanses the temple.:) Seriously though, we've got some work to do to make this a place where we want to bring our investigators. If anyone has any scriptures about order and respect in the church or in general, please send them my way. That's what our next Sunday school lesson is going to be about.😉
All in all though, this place is amazing! I love serving here, I love being with Elder Laws, and I love these people. I'm looking forward to these remaining 8 weeks. It's going to be amazing!
