Dearest friends and family,

It’s been another amazing week to be a missionary in Poland! Here are some highlights: 

-We found out our mission is getting smartphones in a few weeks (No more little brick Nokia phones… WAHOO!!!)  It’s going to be a total game changer for missionary work and we can’t wait!  Group messages, Facebook, google translate—anything is possible! 🙂

I promised I would talk about the amazing people we’re teaching more, so this week I’ll tell ya’ll about Ola!  Ola is the cutest young mom from Ukraine who has been learning about the Gospel of Jesus Christ for the last few months.  She has such a beautiful spirit and always asks the best questions.  This last week, we taught her about living prophets and watched one of President Nelson’s talks from General Conference with her in Ukrainian (I couldn’t understand anything, yet the Spirit was still SO STRONG!).  Right away, she said that President Nelson was a wise man and Ola decided to pray more to know if he is really a prophet of God.  I’m so excited for her to get her answer! 🙂

This week I’ve been absolutely awestruck by the way the Lord leads us to the right place at the right time if we just listen.  We were coming home one night and were already in our apartment building when we met the cutest 13-year old—Nikola—and her mom.  We were exactly in the right place to help them with something they really needed; and afterwards, they invited us to their apartment.  We had the absolute best conversation and got to testify of Christ, that He knows us so individually and that He will put the right people in our lives when we need them.  The next day they invited us back and we gave them Books of Mormon, shared our favorite verses, and taught them about the Restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  Meeting them was a total MIRACLE and was the total highlight of an already great week!

General Conference was this last weekend and it was AMAZING!!  If you didn’t get a chance to watch it (or if you want to listen to it again!) you can check it out on churchofjesuschrist.org!  I especially loved Elder Brooke P. Hales’ talk.  He reminded us that God knows everything—He knows the past, the present and the future, and that sometimes the answer you get to a request is a ‘no’ in favor of a later, better ‘yes’!  I testify that what he said is true!

I love this Gospel and am so grateful for the opportunity to be a missionary. This Gospel is TRUE!  I love you all, and I hope you have a wonderful week!
