Beneath the Gaze of Mickiewicz

It feels like a MILLION amazing things happen every week and I never know where to start!!  Here we go!!! 🙂
This week:
We had EXCHANGES!!
During exchanges, basically my companion and I travel to a different city and “exchange” companions with another sister duo. You are able to spend the day in a new city and learn a ton from another companion!! We spent an AMAZING day in Krakow!! This was my first time in Poland’s ancient capital city.  The architecture is stunning!!! I spent the entire day with Sister Godfrey from Mesa, AZ. She’s SO COOL and we have a ton in common – she went to BYU and she plays the harp!IMG_1523
District Conference!!
AND this week we had District Conference!! Here in Poland, every 6 months all the members in branches in the same area meet together and have a conference where you hear inspiring messages from area authorities and then have a big meal together. It was so awesome to see everyone, including some of my MTC group I arrived with 3 weeks ago!!

Greg!!
Two nights ago, Siostra Harmon and I were talking to people at the tram stop while we waited for our tram.  We struck up a conversation with a man named Greg who immediately recognized our name tags and had some really awesome questions about missionary work, the Bible, and the Book of Mormon!  We talked for the entire tram ride and then since we exited the tram at the same stop, we continued talking for over half an hour!!  Eventually we had to go, but we invited him to district conference the next day, and he ended up coming and staying for the whole thing!!! Such a miracle!!
Hope you all have a great week!! 🙂
Kocham was!!!
