Week 105 - Poznan




Elders Hadfield & Erickson - October 26, 2016 - November 20, 2018
Hello! How are you all doing lately?  Hope life is treating you all well, things are going well for me here in Poznań.  It was yet another quick week, they all feel so fast.

Monday: Just had a chill p-day, we went to the mall and also had branch FHE in the evening.  We also helped out a member with something in the evening, which was fun.

Tuesday: We did a bit of finding, which was solid.  We had lunch at a member's apartment, B., and that was great.  She's such a solid member, she's been through a lot.  We did weekly planning in the afternoon, then in the evening, we were supposed to meet with a potential, M., but it ended up not happening.  We had our branch mission correlation meeting with S., which went well, he suggested some cool things for questions we could ask people when we contact, so we've been trying some of that, which has been fun.

Wednesday: We did some English finding in the morning, which went well.  The attendance at our English classes and at our religious discussions has been down, so we've been trying to do a little English finding every week.  We did some more contacting in the afternoon, and had English class in the evening.

Thursday: We had our weekly service project at the hospice in the morning, which went well.  Apparently missionaries have been volunteering there weekly for about 3 years, which is pretty cool.  We did some contacting during the afternoon in addition to studies, and we had English class in the evening again.

Friday: Zone Conference!  That was a way good time.  We had zone conference in Wrocław this time, which was my first time there.  I'd heard it was one of the prettiest cities in Poland, and it was pretty, but not quite on the Kraków level...just saying, @PresidentTurek.  It was a way good conference though, President taught some great things about creative finding and it was way enjoyable.  I also got to bear my final testimony with Elder Erickson, which was a good time, he's a legend.

Saturday: We did studies in the morning, and had English just after noon.  Only one person ended up coming, and they left pretty early, but we were able to spontaneously set up a meeting with S., which ended up going pretty well.  We watched some talks from this last conference, including President Oaks', and he enjoyed them, we had a good talk about the Plan of Salvation.  We cleaned the chapel with a member, R., from the Philippines, which was cool.  We then were going to go out to a small town called Stare Kurowo to meet with a potential, but it ended up being canceled.  So we did some more finding in the evening.  

Sunday: Sunday was a good day, Church was pretty bomb.  There's a military base here in Poznań, and there are a few members from the States that are in the military that come to church, and two of them had talks and one of them taught Sunday school.  They were all way good, I really enjoyed it.  The Spirit was strong there.  It was good, because there were a couple less-actives that were there as well as one of our English students and a former, so hopefully they were able to feel the Spirit present there and they'll have a desire to keep coming.  We did some studies and some contacting in the evening, and it was a fun day.

So that was our week.  It was another good one, we're hoping to build off of some things that happened this week, and we'll see what this next one has in store.  Hope you are all doing well, have a solid week!
