Hej cześć family and friends!  Jak tam!? It’s been an exciting crazy fun couple of weeks to be in Poznań!!!

Okay so to start, we have our smartphones now!!  Many of you might have noticed that I’m back on Facebook and Messenger!  Our mission is now authorized to use online tools to help us do missionary work!  This won’t change anything about communication (still emails on P-days!), but I’m so excited to see how this great change will help hasten the Lord’s work! 🙂

We’ve had some amazing meetings with people we’re teaching recently:

• We had an awesome lesson with a girl we’re teaching this last week and she decided she wants to prepare to be BAPTIZED on June 22. Step by step, she’s building her faith in Christ as she is reading the Book of Mormon and praying.  I’m so excited to see the changes she’s making in her life as she prepares for baptism!

• We had a great meeting with a less-active member yesterday after they came to church. We talked about the importance of Prophets and how amazing it is that we have a living Prophet today.  The world might change over time, but the Lord never changes- throughout history, He has always called prophets on the earth to serve as the mouthpieces for God on earth!

• And we had another meeting with Nikola and her mom!   We talked about the Plan of Salvation, meaning God’s plan for us.  I’m so grateful I get to share such a beautiful topic with so many people!

And funny language moment: This week, as we were teaching Sunday School, I meant to say I was very thankful for something (Jestem bardzo wdzięczna).  Instead, and without even realizing it I said: “Jestem bardzo dzięki“, which means “I am very thanks!!!”  I couldn’t figure out why my companions were laughing but when they told me afterward we all laughed pretty hard! 🙂  Learning polish is such an adventure!

I was reading an Ensign magazine this week, and I came across an article that I’ve been thinking about ever since.  God is the ultimate artist! There aren’t very many people who can sit down with a blank piece of paper and draw a beautiful landscape.  I, for sure, can’t! But God is the creator.  He is the ultimate artist.  Not only did he create everything around us in beautiful 3-D, but he also created people, with all of our differences, personalities and talents.  Not only did He create us, but He is our literal Father in Heaven and He allows us to call Him Father.  He loves us and He knows each one of us so individually.  And for that, I am so grateful.

I hope you all have a wonderful week!  Kocham was!
