So on Sunday, I had prepared a little lesson for the nursery and Sis. Zan was going to teach the YW. During Sacrament meeting, I didn't see Sis. Zan come in so I started getting a little worried. There was only Mila in the nursery that day. So I tried to teach her the best I could, with the few Polish words I know. I talked about Josef Smith and the restoration. I stood up and pretended I was a tree, swaying back and forth and then told her about Bog and Jezus Chrystus appearing above him. Good thing I had some pictures I could point to. We sang some songs, had a little treat and then colored some pictures. I hope she got something out of what I did. So then for YW, I told the girls that we would just go into RS, because I couldn't teach them. But Pres. Zan came in and said he would put the YW General Conference on the computer and the girls could watch some of that. It was all in Polish. So all in all, Sunday was not a good day for me. But here are some pictures of our small church.
This is the chapel
Relief Society Room
Primary
Young Women
And finally the nursery
On the way to Katowice, there are fields and fields of these beautiful yellow flowers. We tried to get some pictures, but it just doesn't do it justice. Come to find out that they use the flowers for Canola Oil.
While we were in Katowice, we had lunch with Elder and Sis. Reed. While we were there, the phone rang. It was the Elders asking Elder Reed to come over to a field close by. One of the Elders, while throwing a football back and forth, tripped and hurt his ankle. They will be sending that missionary home also for surgery on his ankle. He broke it in two places.
Monday night and Tuesday, we went with the Sisters to two appointments. One of the investigators was also talking with the JW. It seemed like she only wanted to compare Mormonism with the JW. We didn't feel too good about that lesson. But the other one was with a nice little family. The problem they are dealing with is why they need to be baptized again. We are hoping that their question was answered. We felt good when we left and they are going to meet with the sisters again.
Our new Elder came in on Monday. His name is Elder Smith. And Elder Stumpf was made the District Leader. Here they are in a meeting we had on Wednesday before English class. Also a picture of President Cielenski.

Oh by the way, they had a Harley Davidson motorcycle convention here last week. They were all over the place on the Renik. They had bands playing on Saturday and also some fireworks. We thought that another war was starting.
So here are some food experiences. The Elders kept telling us about this place called "Kabob". We pass the place on our way to the church. So we went in and ordered a "Frittortilla". And this is what we brought home. It was huge. We divided one for lunch and the other one for dinner. Anyway, they put french fries, meat and sauce in a flour tortilla and wrap it all up. It actually tasted very good.
But very filling.
Look what I found. I had my first glass of chocolate milk this morning. It was awesome and the milk didn't taste like cardboard. I think I'll survive now.
Also, we bought this ketchup the other day and Wayne put some on his eggs this morning. He said it tasted kind of strange. So we looked up the word "pikantny" in our dictionary. It said "hot". So we'll go back to the store to see if we can get plain ketchup. I guess we'll take the dictionary with us.
Once again, we love it here. We love the experiences we are having. We love the people. We miss all of you, but know this is where we should be.
Do widzenia!
