This week was pretty good, not a whole ton happened. Sister Carlson and I are getting along great. She is so much fun!
On
Monday it was Dzień Dziecko, child's day, basically like mothers day or
fathers day, but for kids. So I bought myself a present :) and we went
to go bowling. But when we arrived there was a surplus of dzieci,
meaning that the bowling alley was packed to exploding point with
children. SO instead we went and played pool for an hour, until the
children cleared out and then we went bowling. It was really fun, and I
learned I'm not very good at pool :)
On Tuesday
we had a whiteboard with the Elders and we talked to a girl who knew
someone who knew one of the Calls in our branch. I'm not sure which, but
I think it was probably Cindy. She also turned out to be the nicest
Jehovah's Witness I have ever met. She wished us luck and told us that
she thinks it's so great that we are learning Polish so we can
communicate with the people of Poland in their own language. It was a
really nice experience.
On Wednesday
Sister Carlson had to go to Warsaw for legal work so I spent the day
being baby-sat by the Elders. Then we had English, as usual, and Elder
Garcia taught with me, which was a lot of fun because he's from Austria,
so I had to correct
his English a couple of times and help him with pronunciation along with the students.
This
week we worked a lot on advertising for English, they've had a lot of
cool things happen with English in Szczecin and we want to do more with
English too. So we made up some new more professional looking fliers and
posters. It's cool because Sister Carlson is also an artist, so we've
been doing a lot of artsy things :)
We also put together and delivered a lot of letters for tracting
on Friday.
We found this really nice place near our home. It's a gated community,
so we have to be kind of shady to get it, but we feel really good about
it. We tracted there yesterday and so far didn't get a whole lot of
response, but we're going back this week.
That's
basically it for the week, I feel like a lot happened, but looking back I
can't really remember what it was. I laughed a lot too, but I can't
really remember what about, so I only have one funny story this week. We
have a Korean family in our branch, the Lees and the dad and the mom
both have trouble with Polish, the daughter is pretty good, and the son
is fluent. So generally they rely on the son Woohoo (no joke) to
translate when they aren't following. Yesterday, president Cieleński
called Brother Lee to secretary... something, frankly I missed the
calling. At first, when president asked him to stand he didn't know what
was happening, so he looked at Woohoo, who told him to stand. then,
after he was sustained he sat down and the entire family converged on
Woohoo, trying to find out what had just happened, it was really funny
because I don't think Brother Lee remembered he was getting a calling
and they all looked super confused, lol, I know how they feel :)
Kocham was!
