Hey!
Sorry I couldn't email last week, we ended up going out to
visit the Pawlik's for p-day, they live like 2 hours away and we ended up
staying longer than we were planning so I had 0 time to email... oops!
I'll fill you in on some highlights from the past 2 weeks!
The Pawlik's was awesome! We got to tour his factory again,
the Daltons have pictures from it. We also got to peek around this bunker
outside the factory that was made by the Soviets because it used to be a War
plane factory. I'll send pictures of some of that.

On Tuesday we went around with an English Student of ours
and taught him a little about our church, he also showed us some cool Catholic
stuff. We went to this place where apparently Jesus appeared to a Nun and told
her to create a picture of him so people could worship it. It was super
idolatrous but pretty cool to see/learn about regardless. If you google
"Jezu Ufam Tobie" you can look at that, or you can look up Saint
Faustyna and learn about it.
We had a really cool broadcast on Wednesday last week, it
was a worldwide missionary training about "Teach repentance baptize
converts." Elder Anderson spoke, among with several other apostles. We
learned a little about working with Less actives, Recent converts, and Members
to drill them for referrals.
So we have this pretty cool Investigator named Sassan, he is
from Iran and is really really awesome. He speaks pretty good English and is
really interested in the Book of Mormon. And we had a little miracle on that
note, we just happened to have a Persian Book of Mormon in the chapel which we
found after we met him... We had a really good meeting with him on Friday at
Romek's house the spirit was really strong. I actually wanted to ask Dad for a
little bit of help, there was an Iranian recent convert in our stake, I was at
his baptism shortly before my mission. At the baptism were 2 young missionaries
Iranian speaking, and also a Elderly sister missionary from Iran. If you could
see if you could find any contact info for one of those missionaries it would
be sweet. Sassan has some questions about the Book of Mormon that are really
hard for us to explain in English to him and it would be nice to have someone
who speaks his language.
We had a really cool Missionary Correlation Meeting last
Saturday, it ended up being at the branch missionary leader's house way out
past Wieliczka which is like 40 minutes by car. The Branch President took us
and the Daltons took the sisters. It was really cool and I think the Kraków
branch is really starting to get a solid vision for the future and some plans
looking forward.

Random side note, while Elder Mulder and I were on Exchange
in Warsaw (the exchange was awesome, but not much particular to talk about) I
got these workout cd's off of Elder Jones, he sold them to me pretty cheap.
It's called Insanity Max-30, its pretty much designed for missionaries because
it has workouts Monday through Friday, then a easy workout on Saturday, and
nothing on Sunday, and each workout is only 30 minutes which is how much time
we have in our schedule for working out. So Elder Mulder and I are getting
Swoll.
Speaking of working out and getting swoll, on Saturday the
branch had a YSA activity where they went rock climbing at an indoor facility
here in Krakow. President Kucia asked us if we would come so we did,
unfortunately rock climbing is against the rules so we just hung around and
chatted with people. The best part is the list of people who went: we had a
Less Active who hasn't been to church since my 1st transfer here, a recent
convert who brought 2 non-member friends, and one of our investigators. So we
got to build some really good relationships with all those people. Definitely a
good activity.
Other than that there isn't anything extremely exciting to
talk about, Church was awesome yesterday. We had dinner at the Daltons and got
to teach a Ukrainian investigator the first, with a Ukrainian member couple
translating from English to Ukrainian. Really good couple of weeks though.
Love and miss you!
-Elder Everett
