Sister Blake, Sister Poklinskowska, Elder Smith and Elder Jaeger. Sister Poklinkowska and Elder Jaeger are both from the state of Washington. They are the cream of the crop.
We had them over for dinner that night because we knew they wouldn't have anything in their apartment. We had some chicken noodle soup (homemade) and toasted cheese sandwiches. It's been getting kind of cold outside. We leave the one door open to our little deck and it is 63 degrees in the apartment when we wake up.
Friday we stayed home most of the day and cleaned the apartment and did laundry. Saturday the sisters took the train out to Legnica to visit with the Call family and do some contacting. Since they were gone, the elders and Wayne and I went over to the chapel to do the children's English class. No one showed up. It's kind of sad, because the church has a wonderfully outlined 9 week course which teaches some very basic words. Hopefully, now that school has started, we will get some kids to come.
Sunday was very cold and windy. I taught the Young Women and we talked about virtue. It was a very good class and all of them participated. They had a lot of questions. Next week, the three of them decided they would teach the class. I tried to take their picture, but Jsonga didn't want to. I will try again this coming Sunday.
Monday, Elder Durrant and I planned our very first FHE. We are holding it for the singles in our branch and any investigators the missionaries want to bring. Our lesson was on "faith", we played a game called 4 corners and then I brought some Rice Krispy treats, some cupcakes and drinks. Everyone had a good time and we hope to continue it for a long time. Here is our first FHE:
Me, Brat Kotlinski (member), Sis. Malinowska (member), Sis. Poklinskowska, Sis. Blake, Lucyna (investigator), Elder Jaeger and Elder Smith. There was another investigator there by the name of Yarek, but he had already left.
Tuesday the elders and sisters were back on a train to Katowice for Zone Training. We went over to the chapel to discuss some things with President Cielinski and Wayne needed to put things together for his first Financial Audit which will be done on Sunday.
Wednesday night we had our English class. We had some students move up to our advance class from the intermediate class. After we read the story and went over some vocabulary words, one of the new girls said that it was very hard for her to understand. So we are going to have to choose some simpler stories from the Liahona and discuss what is being read all the way through. We were missing two people. But here is a picture of our class:
Monika, Michal, Magda, Mikel, Katja. We are missing Uliana and Inna. Hopefully, they will be back next week.
We stopped at a pizza place to buy dinner. I sick of cooking all the time. It was very good. The only thing is they like to put corn on their pizzas. It's not bad, it just doesn't look like a pizza should.
Okay, another gnome. We couldn't figure out what this one was doing. He is on a planter that is between two restaurants. It may be a bottle of booze in his one hand, because that's what everyone does here.
Well, another week has gone by. It's amazing to us how fast they go. We also learned some sad news from our daughter Teri. Her two boys participate in school football, wrestling and track. They had their first football game on Friday. The coach was trying to get one of the boys to go in on the line and he wasn't paying attention, so he grabbed Cassius and told him to go in for him. On the play, one of the other team members stepped on Cassius' foot as he was tackling another player. He had to hop off the field. They took him to the emergency room and they were told that he probably broke his ankle. Teri took him to an orthopedic surgeon on Monday. His ankle isn't broken but the tendons were torn and the doctor told her if Cassius wants to continue in sports, they will have to operate and re-attach the tendons. So Cassius will be out of all sports this year in school. He is really bummed. I guess the thing that is most discouraging is that he wasn't suppose to be in on that play. We know he will heal and next year will be a lot better for him. Get well quick, Cassius. We love you.
Miłego dnia.
Kochamy cię i tęsknię za tobą.
Kochamy cię i tęsknię za tobą.
