Week 93 - Bialystok

Bialystok Apartment Check





Church in Warsaw - Elders Hadfield, Dossett, Erickson




Tennis with the Murri's



Hello everyone!  This week was a good one.  We spent a bit of time in Warsaw, which was good, it was nice being back and seeing the people there.

Monday: We played some tennis with the Murri's (the senior couple here), which was actually pretty fun.  Had dinner at a pretty good burger place called Elvis Burger.  Group FHE was in the evening, and that was good.

Tuesday: In the morning, we went to a member's house, H., and we mowed her lawn.  She recently had knee surgery, so it was good to help her out.  We met with a part-member family we meet with weekly, sometimes more than once a week.  Also had weekly planning in the evening. 

Wednesday: Today was good.  We had our apartment inspections and district council in the morning, which went well.  We had lunch with the Murri's, did some tracting, then we had a train to Warsaw for exchanges.

Thursday: We were in Warsaw all day on exchanges, and that was really good.  We did some good contacting, and we had a lesson with P., the recent convert that was baptized while I was there.  Taught English in the evening.

Friday: Had our train back from Warsaw, got back around 1pm, then we had meetings with M., M., and B., all people we have been working with.  They went alright, not a huge amount of progression with them, but we're hoping as we continue working with them, we can help them understand the need to keep commitments.

Saturday: We met with the part-member family again, and we also had a meeting with another person we've had a couple meetings with, Z. It was okay, not super focused though.  Did a bit of contacting as well as some tracting, and it went well.

Sunday: Got up at 4 in the morning and got a bus to Warsaw.  We are part of the Warsaw branch, so we go there for church once a month.  It's about a 2.5 hour ride there, not too bad.  It was good to see the missionaries and members there again, church was good.  We did some studies in the evening after we got back.

So yea, that was our week.  We're looking forward to this next week, hoping we can find some new people to teach.  We've also got zone conference on Friday in Warsaw, so that should be a good time.  Hope things are also going well for you all.  Have a good week!
