Good week up here in Warsaw, we had some really cool things
happen so lets get started!
I'll start with Friday because it was pretty awesome. So
last week this guy that we briefly talked with on the street called us and
asked us if we could teach 2 of his university classes about basic Mormon
Doctrine, where our church comes from, who Mormons are in general, and about
Joseph Smith and the Book of Mormon... so we said yes. Oh yeah, and everything
was in English because it was an English class. It was super awesome, we made a
PowerPoint with a bunch of scriptures and a couple Mormon Messages. The classes
were only about 12-15 people and we just sat around a big table with a TV at
the front. We started off with our presentation then opened it up for Q&A.
It went really well, the first class was a lot lighter conversation, mostly
they asked about us and what it was like living in the States, because it was
an American Culture class. The second class asked us some heavy questions about
deeper doctrine stuff. It was pretty fun trying to answer their questions with
basic doctrine.
After the class everyone took a Book of Mormon and we
invited everyone to read and pray about it to know whether it is true. It was
really cool.
We did a really fun White Board on Wednesday, it was with a
pair of the Sisters near the university. It was kinda crazy because it was
pouring rain and it was super windy so our whiteboard kept falling over. Also
nobody wanted to talk to us because of the weather, but luckily at the very end
we talked to this lady who was super interested in the Book of Mormon, and we
were able to hand her off to the sisters right there. Yeah!
After the whiteboard for some unknown reason we decided to
go get blizzards at Dairy Queen, that was really fun because we were already a
little cold, then we went and ate a big old thing of ice cream. I started
shivering basically as soon as we left DQ, it was crazy. Luckily the Dairy
Queen is near the Metro Entrance so we weren't outside for very long and the
Metro is warm.
In other news, we got to meet with this super cool less
active named Luke. He is from the Congo in Africa, he speaks decent English,
and decent Polish. He natively speaks French. We went to their house and hung
out with his family, its kinda funny because he has a polish wife and his kids
all speak great Polish (for children, kids generally speak really poorly until
they are about 10) and he told us he wants help in learning because he doesn't
understand his kids sometimes. We got to help him a little with Polish and
deliver dinner that the sisters made for them. It was awesome.
Unfortunately we have run out of time! Love you!
