| Saying goodbye to companions |
Well, this has been a pretty crazy week. The first half of
the week was filled with contacting, we went to Nowa Huta a lot trying to get
some solid investigators out there. Sadly Kraków does not have a very deep
teaching pool, so we were working on that.
On Wednesday we had our Mission Conference. President Kearon
who is a Seventy and president over the Europe area, came and spoke with us, he
talked about a couple really cool things. First was about how we should not
call Investigators such, we should start calling them friends like they do in
France. So now when we introduce people in church we should say, "Hey Brat
... come meet our new friend ...." instead of using Zainteresowany
(literally intrested) we use Kolega/Koleżanka. He also talked about how morning
make or break a day. We need to use our morning hours productively because if
we don't it puts a bad vibe on the whole rest of the day.

So like is referenced in my subject line, I am in Łódź now.
Yesterday during the 3rd hour of church I got a call from President Edgren
basically saying "I've put this whole thing on the backburner too long,
can you get on a train tomorrow and go to Łódź?" So of course I said yes.
I had about 18 hours or so from the time he told me to when I left Kraków, so I
missed saying goodbye to some people which is sad, but the Lord needs me
somewhere else right now so It will be okay. Wszystko będzie dobrzy!
My companion Elder Guthrie is super cool, he has about a
month left of his mission and we are going to go out with a bang. I'm excited
to get to work and I know he is too. He was in a trio, but for the last week
they were both in bed sick with a fever so they were not able to go out and
work. Luckily now, they both woke up this morning feeling great, and all of
Łódź is ready to go!

So I'll share my travel experience it wasn't really anything
special but it happened so here goes: I got up at 6:00 to finish packing then
got a train at 8:16, it was hard saying goodbye to my companions because they
are awesome. Elders Jackson and Vance are definitely two of my best friends. I
had about a 3.5 hour train ride to Łódź Widzew which is a train station on the
outskirts of the city, then I had to switch trains to come into centrum. It was
super weird because I was alone the whole time, so I was just walking around by
myself. It was a strange feeling not to have a companion. I got into Łódź
around noon or something then we went to the apartment, went and got my bus
ticket, then went and got Naleśniki (crepes) with the district. PRetty good day
so far.
I'm running out of time for today unfortunately so I'm going
to half to cut this weeks email a little short, sorry!
Love you all!
-Elder Everett
