This week was pretty chill.
We had cleaning checks so we spent a good deal of time hanging out with Elders Smith and Coutu as they checked that we weren't living in squaller, then changed out our filters. Then we hung out with them some more when they came over to fix our filters because they put them together wrong. It was very entertaining though, Smith and Coutu are both kind of crazy. In a fun way, not in a "oh my gosh, the fate of Wrocław is in their hands?" kind of way, so it's all good.
Most of what I remember from the week was the preparation for conference. We didn't have a whole ton to do, but looking back, that's what sticks out for this week. We had a whole system set up at the chapel so we, the missionaries, and the branch members could gather and watch conference in English or in Polish... or in Korean in case the Korean family in the branch came. And we had lunch prepared at the chapel for us missionaries and any members who showed. Not a lot of people came, but it was still a good time.
During the Saturday morning session we were all really excited to
hear from Uchtdorf, because he is our favorite, of course. Just
before he got up to speak we were joking and making predictions
about his talk. Elder Smith said "I bet you anything, the first
thing out of his mouth will be something about being a pilot"
Owens countered, no, first he has to greet us, the second thing he
says will be about being a pilot." And what happened? The first
thing Uchtdorf said was the joke about giving his talk in German,
and the second... "When I was an airline pilot..." We all
just died, it was hilarious!
Conference was really good, we all appreciated the boldness of
all the talks. We watched it in English, but had Polish going in the
next room over, so we caught bits of Polish here and there.
Prezydent Cieleński was in Warsaw doing translations for the
broadcast. He actually did the translations for quite a few of the
talks, and every once in a while we could hear his very distinct
voice coming from the next room.
There wasn't really a whole lot else that happened this week. The coming week is Sister Whiteley's last week in Wrocław. She goes to Warsaw on Sunday and then she flies home on Tuesday morning. It's crazy to think that she'll be in Utah in just over a week. The time just flies by.

We got to watch the morning sessions
live, starting at 18:00 on Saturday. Then we watched the Saturday
afternoon session on Sunday morning, followed by Priesthood, and
they the live Sunday morning session at 18:00 on Sunday. We haven't
seen the last session yet though, we are planning to get together as
a district and watch it sometime during the week.
Just a quick note, did any of you guys
catch when Uchtdorf said "vil" instead of "will"?
that was awesome :)
