Week 91 - Bialystok







Hey y'all!  It was a good week this week.  1st week of the transfer here in Białystok, and we had some solid things happen.

Monday: Got my train to Białystok from Warsaw in the morning.  Had a pretty chill first p-day here.  We have a senior couple here, the Murri's, and they are great.  They are helping out the group here so much.  We had group FHE over at their place in the evening with some of the members and a couple others we are teaching.

Tuesday: Met H., a member, in the hospital.  She had knee surgery, and seemed to be having a rough time.  We went back to visit her on Friday, and she seemed to be doing a lot better though.  Met with K., a member, and her boyfriend H., someone we are teaching.  Weekly planned in the evening.  

Wednesday: Had a conference in Warsaw, so I got to go back to Warsaw 2 days after getting transferred out of there.  It was my first time going back to a city I had previously served in, and it was great to be back.  I love Warsaw.  The conference was really good though.  It was also good to see some of the other missionaries there.

Thursday: Took care of some legal work in the morning, then we had district meeting.  It went well.  We met with L., someone else we are teaching, and it went alright.  She'll be out of town for a bit though.  Contacted a little bit in the evening.

Friday: Finished the legal work we started on Thursday.  Did some contacting, which went alright.  We met with J., a guy who lived in the States for 21 years.  He's way cool, not extremely religious yet, but he loves what we've told him so far.  Met with B. in the evening, and wasn't the best meeting I've had.  She's searching for truth, but so far hasn't seen it in the church.  We'll keep working with her and see what happens.

Saturday: Met with M. in the morning, and it went alright.  He's a way solid dude, super intelligent.  Aslo met with K. and H. again, then we went less-active finding with the Murri's.  We didn't meet any of the less-actives, but we did get some info about a few of them, where they moved, etc.  So that turned out pretty good.  

Sunday: Had church in some English school.  The group is still pretty small here in Białystok, so we don't have a chapel yet.  Hoping to get one though by the time I leave here.  We had a few members come, which was alright.  We did some tracting in the evening, and tracted into some JW guy that Elder Dossett had met before, small world.

And that was our week.  Pretty quick, adjusting to life here in Białystok, it's going well so far.  There are definitely people ready here, working on finding and teaching them.  Anyway, hope you are all doing well, hope you have a great week!
