I went to download some pictures so I could put them on the blog this week and it said my drop-box was full. So I will have to figure something out to get the pictures off of the camera and on this blog. But it won't be today. So next week.
On Saturday Sister Roulstone and I went on a little adventure to a small suburb of Warsaw. We found a wonderful little shop that had lots of homemade things for sale. It was wonderful. I spent about 239 zlotys (80 dollars). We had a wonderful day and it gave her a chance to be out from taking care of her husband for a little while. I think she is looking forward to getting home and having family to help her and get him back to normal.
Right after church on Sunday, Wayne came quite quickly down the hall to the RS room to find me and tell me that the office elders had called him to tell him that they had just taken Elder Roulstone back to the hospital. President and Sister Edgren were in Bydgoszcz so they wouldn't be back until really late. So once again we ran over to the hospital to help anyway we could. When we got there, Sister Roulstone said they doctors had ruled out that it was something with his heart so they were sending him over to the other hospital where he had the stroke. So we followed the ambulance to the next place. They placed Elder Roulstone in a wheelchair and while they were waiting for the doctor, he passed out. Sister Roulstone was so tired and afraid of what was going on. After an eternity, the doctor finally came out and told us that he wasn't having a stroke either and they were sending him back to the other hospital. Boy I hope I don't have anything gone wrong. This is really a joke. So we followed the ambulance back. We got Sister Roulstone settled in the emergency room and then came home. I had put a roast on in the morning and had told the office elders to go over to our apartment and fix themselves some dinner. So they were at our apartment when we got there. So Elders Smith, Meherg and Durrant ate dinner while I fixed some soup and a toasted cheese sandwich for Sister Roulstone and went back over to the hospital so that she would have something to eat. They determined that he was just dehydrated and probably taking the wrong amount of medication. The doctor told them that he would have to stay in the hospital until he was ready to fly out. The church changed their flight from Wednesday to Friday. Wayne and I will have to take them to the airport, because the President won't be here.
At FHE on Monday we talked about the prophet and how the Lord won't let him lead us astray. We played a matching game with the prophet and apostles pictures. It was really fun. Dinner was just toasted cheese sandwiches, chips and a salad. I'll show the pictures next week.
We had Zone Conference on Wednesday. So when we got home from the office on Tuesday all we did was cook. From 5:30 to 10:00 pm. I baked 3 cakes, cut up 5 heads of lettuce, cut up 10 tomatoes, and browned 6 lbs of hamburger for Soft shelled tacos. Sister Tueller brought the cheese, some ranch dressing and a cake. We also had bought some ice cream and salsa to take. Oh and some watermelon. It was a wonderful conference. One of the members is a song writer. He composed a song about the Savior and came to the conference and performed it along with Sister Petersen, playing the violin and Sister Tobler and Elder Retallick singing. It was beautiful. The president emphasized that we are not here as an "american" church, nor are we here to try and change their heritage. We are here to have them better their Polish life and find happiness in their journey. (Pictures next week)
The President wanted to know what it would take for Wayne and I to stay longer? I don't think we can, but it was very flattering to hear that.
Our YSA conference is just around the corner. We are getting very nervous and hope that everything is going to work out as planned. We are kind of disappointed in the number. Only 165 have signed up. We were hoping for 200.
So once again another week has gone by. We have learned that one of our ward members passed away
this week. She was a wonderful person and I feel sad that we cannot join in the celebration of her life.
We love you and miss you all.
