Week 71 - Szczecin

Hello everyone!

     This week was pretty good.  It was another fast one.  It was another week where we didn't have too many meetings, so we did a lot of finding this week.  We tried visiting some less-actives as well, and that went pretty well.  We met R., a less-active, at his apartment and had a good discussion with him.  We're hoping to start working with him now and help him get progressing. 

We met with one of our investigators, K., this week and read 2 Nephi 33.  I really like that chapter.  He seemed to enjoy it too.  We were hoping to get him to church yesterday, but that unfortunately didn't end up happening.  Hopefully we can make some progress with him soon.  We were supposed to have a couple meetings with either potentials or formers this week, but unfortunately all of them either flaked or canceled.  So we're hoping that goes better this week. 

I had a doctor's appointment on Friday morning.  That was an interesting experience.  Basically the doctor just looked down my throat and in my ear and said, "It looks like you have an infection of some kind."  Kind of different from the States where they actually like to figure out what you are infected with, but whatever.  So he prescribed me some antibiotic, some Sudafed, and a nose spray to keep down the congestion.  So we'll see what happens with that, hopefully it goes away soon enough.  We also went to the government office to help the office elders out with something, but that didn't end up working out, so we'll have to go back there this week sometime.  

We'll get transfer calls next Saturday (the 10th) already, which is hard to believe, and then transfers are the following Monday (the 12th).  So we'll see what happens.  I feel like Elder Lange and I will probably stay together next transfer, which will also be his last transfer.  However he thinks he'll leave Szczecin.  He's been here for four months now, so I guess it could go either way.  But we'll see what happens.  

This week, we have exchanges with the zone leaders in Gdańsk again, so that'll be good.  Those will be from Tuesday to Wednesday.  On Thursday, we'll have district meeting, and President Turek will be there for interviews as well.  So that will be a good experience.  Then on Friday, we'll have apartment cleaning checks.  So it'll be a busy week.  We're looking forward to it.  Hope everything is going well for you all.  Have a good week!
