Hejka cześć my dearest friends and family!!! ❤️

This week:

– Met Ivonna from Argentina at a finding activity!!! We approached her in polish but when we heard her say ”no hablo polaco” we switched into Spanish! We asked her if she’d ever heard of El Libro de Mormon and turns out she used to  go to church in Argentina:) she’s the coolest!

– this week has really been one full of languages because in an effort to invite more people to english class, we’ve been posting on Ukrainian Facebook pages! Since Ukraine and Poland border each other there are a lot of Ukrainians that live in Poland! 7 new people were in class this week and one of the couples came to church:))

– Got lost in a hospital complex on our way to deliver a Book of Mormon… But we made the delivery!!

– Got proposed to.. TWICE

– Got hit by a car. Basically here at most crosswalks there is no light–the pedestrians usually have the right of the way. So once you start walking on the crosswalk the cars will stop for you. This time though the driver wasn’t paying attention and although he was going reallllly slow he didn’t stop and actually hit Siostra Frantz and I!! He felt so bad about it but we were totally fine haha!

– Church was super great and busy as always:) So many people were there!! Someone even asked: “Why are there so many people here? Is it a special occasion?” It wasn’t a special occasion, just an awesome Sunday! The Gdańsk branch is growing!!! :))

– Taught Relief Society. It was awesome because we had a few people who only spoke Russian there but Siostra Marinella, our Relief Society President speaks both Polish and Russian and so she translated for us:) We focused on Elder Bednar’s address from this last conference, “Watchful unto Prayer Continually”. I would absolutely recommend it! ❤️

And lastly I want to share a scripture–Ether 12:11-

” But in the gift of his Son hath God prepared a more excellent way; and it is by faith that it hath been fulfilled.”

There is a lot of happiness to be found in this life. Without a knowledge of Jesus Christ and his gospel, life can be okay. But our loving Father in Heaven doesn’t just want us to have an okay life – He’s got greater plans for us! That’s why He gave us his son, Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is The More Excellent Way – the way to find more happiness, peace and direction in this life than in any other way possible. He is our advocate, our loving brother and He can be our best friend, if we let Him. If we want Him to be. I am so grateful for that and for the perfect plan Heavenly Father has for each one of us!

Kocham was tak mocno! Modlę się za was!

Z miłością,

Siostra Baldwin
