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!
