"What?! I'm one of you now!! :)"

​My lovely family and friends,

I apologize for not being able to email you all this past wekk! It was a little crazy, but I hope you all are happy, healthy, and doing well! :)

This week was a good one - as usual! It was a little different than other weeks, because every single one of our meetings fell through except 2 of them! BUT! It was amazing, because even though our meetings fell through, we quickly discovered that there was somewhere else the Lord needed us to be at that time. For example...

One day, the meeting we had planned didn't work out, so we went to a nearby park to talk with people there. We were walking around, not finding any people, when all the sudden I saw this group of random horses just there, eating the grass in the middle of the park! My first thought was, "Oh! I have to take a photo for me sister!!" So, we ran over to where they were, and then, we saw a woman sitting on a bench that we hadn't even noticed before because it had been hidden by some trees! As soon as we saw her, I couldn't help but laugh a little to myself, imagining Heavenly Father, knowing that we needed to talk to this woman, probably thinking, "Let's see... What can I do to get them over there to where they can see her.... HORSES!" haha. Well, it worked! :) We ended up talking to the woman, our lovely friend Dorota, for quite a while, and were even able to give her a Book of Mormon, which she absolutely just cherished! She had come to the park seeking comfort from the Lord, because her husband had passed away a few years before and she had really been missing him that day... For that half hour, we mostly just listened to her, and it was wonderful - just to be able to be there for her to cry to, and to be able to tell her how much the Lord loves her. We were able to testify to her of the Plan of Salvation - that she WILL one day see her husband again, and it was incredible... I have no doubt in my mind that our meeting that day didn't work out because the Lord KNEW that one of His precious children, in that moment, needed us more somewhere else. Dorota couldn't stop telling us that the Lord had sent "his angels" to answer her prayer, and I just couldn't help but feel overwhelmed by the love the Lord has for her. He knows us all, and loves each of us perfectly, and I feel so blessed to be on His errand right now. ​

That was just a small little miracle, among the many I'm lucky enough to see every single day, but it just meant the absolute world to me. :)

Also this week, we were able to meet with our friend Irfan! He is so wonderful!! The lesson we had with him was absolutely amazing, and it was so visible how touched he was by the spirit. We love being able to talk with him, because he is just so spiritual, and soaks in every word we tell him... It's amazing!! I have to share something funny with you all about that meeting we had with him though! :) After our meeting with him, that we had yesterday, we were walking to the tram stop and he said, "Hey! Let's go get some ice cream!" to which we had to apologize, and tell him we don't buy things on the Sabbath. He asked about that, and we explained it, then just as quickly as we had replied, he said, "Okay, great! What else don't we do?" :) (including himself!) I looked at Sister Van to make sure I had really heard that correctly, and... I had! haha! So, I laughed a little, to which he quickly said, "What?! I'm one of you now!! :)" I love that man! hahaha! Well, before we could answer, we were stopped by this nice girl handing out flyers for a gym! We talked with her for a few minutes, complimented her super cute boots and invited her to english club (she was excited about that! :) ), then went on our way! I didn't think much else of it, but when we were walking away, Irfan turned to me and said, "Lexi, why did we not share our message with her?" I WAS IN SHOCK. hahaha! I couldn't believe what I had just heard! There I was, the missionary, and I was supposed to be sharing the gospel with everyone I could, and then there was this sweet investigator of ours, asking me why I wasn't doing that! It was a very humbling experience, and I just couldn't help but smile, and thank him for that! I promised him that this week we would go back to the mall in which she works, and we would find her and share our message with her. He was happy about that. :) Then, as we parted ways, we asked him what he was up to for the rest of the day and he said, "I don't know! Right now I'm probably just going to go to Piotrkowska a street) and get a beer." and before we could even reply he said, "Wait! Do we not drink beer?!" and we said, "No, we don't drink beer.." to which he quickly replied, "Ohhhh, okay! Then I am going home to eat some dinner, I mean! :)" HE IS THE BEST! hahaha! 

Oh my, I'm sorry I always talk your ears off, but I love you all so much, and I hope you have an amazing week!! Thank you for all your love, prayers, and support :) It means the world.

Z miłością,

Siostra Kamp

My lovely family and friends! 

I just want to thank you all for all the love, support, and prayers you send my way. I'm the luckiest firl in the world to have you all, and I thank the Lord every day for you. :)

This week was another amazing one! The sun was shining all week, and everyone was just so happy! We met so many people on the streets this week, and the Lord truly blessed us with so many miracles :)

I'll keep this email a little shorter, but I have to tell about one!

So, rewind to last Friday when we were planning for our upcoming week this week! We were going through the days, thinking about things we needed to do on each one, and when we got to Saturday, we both agreed in a split second that on that day we needed to go back to a prak we had gound a few days previous. It was awesome! Anyway, fast forward to Saturday! We came to the park and there were so many people! I was so excited! :) It was a missionaries dream! So many popel to share the gospel with, that you don't even know where to begin! haha :) But anyway, we had a lot of wonderful conversations with people, which was great! But the one I want to talk about is Staśka!! :) We saw her sitting on a bench as we were walking, just reading her little book, and we knew we had to talk to her! She was this cutest little grandma with pink hair... Who wouldn't want to talk to her?! :) Anyways, we ended up sitting on the bench with her, talking to her for what seemed like hours but also like minutes, and it was amazing. She completely opened up to us about the struggles of her life, and how heartbroken she had been by her husband's recent passing. It was the most tender moment, and an amazing one at that, because I was able to look her in the eyes, and tell her that I know, with all of my heart, that she will see her husband again. With tears in her eyes, she told us that that was all she could ever hope for - the chance to see him agan, and thank him for everything, and tell him she loves him. It was in that moment, as we testified of the Plan of Salvation and eternal families and sat there comforting her... It hit me. I really do believe it. It is not just something I say to comfort others... It's true. We can, and will, be with those we love forever, even after death. Everyone dreams of their "Happily Ever After", but... the wonderful thing is, it doesn't have to be just a dream. :) I was able to show Staśka some photos of my family, on that wonderful day we were sealed together for eternity, and as I did that - I couldn't help but think back to how I felt that day. Sitting on that little park bench in the middle of Poland, I was reminded of that little glimpse of eternity the Lord gave me when I was sealed to my 5 best friends. :) 

Families are forever, and I will testify of that truth for the rest of eternity. :) This gospel is our road map to our "Happily Ever After", and I cannot even express how grateful I am for the gift of this gospel. :) I thank the Lord every day for sending me here to Poland... He hasn't only allowed me to share in the journey of others coming closer to Him, but, He's brought me closer to Him as well. I love Him more than I can even say. 

That's about all I have time for today, but I love you all, and hope you all know how much you mean to me! But even more importantly, how much you mean to your Father in Heaven. He loves you more than you can imagine! 

Z miłością, 

Siostra Kamp

I will never get tired of Polish sunsets!

Siostra Van is OBSESSED with Watermelon!! :) I love it so much!! 

Last Monday, we visited the most BEAUTIFUL Botanical garden!! :) Excuse all the photos, we loved it! :)

English class games are always a hoot with our students!

"I've heard this before..."

Dear Family and Friends,

Witam was serdecznie!! :)

How are you all? I hope you had a wonderful week!! Do I start all my emails like that?... Well, it's still true! :) 

I have so much to tell you all, and not enough time (the classic "Sister Kamp excuse"), so I'll just get right to it! :)

Oh my, this week was such a miracle for me. The Lord has seriously blessed me with the most amazing city, the most amazing companion, and the most amazing investigators. :) 

This week, we were able to meet with my favourite people in the whole world - Ola and Julia!! I have been talking Sister Van's ear off about them for the past two weeks!! They had been so busy with vacations and work that they hadn't had time to meet, but by the time they were able to meet this week, Siostra Van told me that she already felt like she knew them because of how much I talk about them! haha. :) They are just amazing, alright? You'll see! 

So, we went to the chapel to wait for them, and as soon as they walked in, they yelled, "ohhhh!" and ran up and hugged me!! It was the best thing ever. :) They introduced themselves to Siostra Van, who they just fell in love with, and then they turned to me and said, "Well, let's go!" They are just as excited to hear this gospel as I am to tell her about it! :) I love it. 

Sooo many things happened in this lesson that i wish I could tell you all about, but for lack of time I will just tell you all one little part. We talked with them a little bit about the Plan of Salvation this time, and it was the most wonderful thing. We talked with them about what we did before this life, and they just loved it. We told them that we lived with our Heavenly Father, and that He not only knew us each personally, but loved us more than words can describe. As our father, He taught us about His plan for us, and we were so excited - we shouted for joy. :) We shared one of my favourite scriptures with them - Romans 8:16 - that says, "The spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit that we are the children of God. " And after we read that, the most amazing thing happened. Ola just looked at me and said, "I think... When the spirit of God testifies to us of something, that's why we get that warm feeling in our heart. It's the spirit of God reminding our spirits of something... Sometimes, when I read the Book of Mormon, or I hear you say something, it just sounds so familiear to me, and I could never figure out why, because obviously I have never heard these things before. But, now you are telling me that before this life I lived with God, and He taught me these things, and about His plan, and I can't help but think - maybe that's just it. Maybe, I have heard this before. And each time I feel that warm feeling after I read or hear something, maybe that is the Holy Ghost reminding me... I have heard this before."

I literally was teary-eyed as she said those things... It was one of the most amazing experiences I have ever had. Just that very morning, Siostra Van and I had read in our Preach My Gospel books, "Those that have been prepared by the Lord will recognize you as servants of God. The gospel will have a familiar ring to them." That is exactly what happened in our lesson today with Ola and Julia. I bet you all can imagine how I felt after that... :)

Siostra Van shared a scripture with me that reminded me of our meetings with Ola and Julia - D&C 50:22 - "Wherefore, he that preacheth and he that receiveth, understand one another, and both are edified, and rejoice together." How perfectly that describes it. We rejoice in getting together to talk about Christ and His gospel, and after each meeting, we all leave more edified, having been taught so much by the spirit of the Lord. :)

Unfortunately I am out of time, but... This gospel is true. I wish I could look you all in the eyes and tell you how much I truly know that. It is true, all of it, and I am the luckiest girl in the world to be able to share this with others. I am the most imperfect person, trying to share the perfect gospel of our perfect Saviour - and sometimes I cannot imagine how He can trust me so much to bring others this message... But honestly, I will never be able to thank Him enough for the fact that He does. :) I love this gospel with everything I am. It is the best of me. 

Thank you so much for all of your love and support! I love you all more than you know!!

You're in my thoughts and prayers!

Z miłością,

Siostra Kamp

"A jeszcze 10!"

Dear Family and Friends, 

Cześć, wam! I hope you all had a wonderful week! 

I realize last week my email was incredibly long (I could just talk about all of my experiences, and how much I love the Lord and this gospel FOREVER!!), but I will try to keep this one a little shorter. :) 

This week was so wonderful! The Lord gave us so many miracles! He is so good to us, truly. We spent a lot of time on the streets this week, talking to everyone who would listen, and it was amazing!! :) Siostra Van and I's new saying is, "Rozmawiamy z wszystkimi... a jeszcze 10!" which means, "We talk with everyone... and then 10 more!" :) It is amazing the miracles the Lord has given us when we have that attitude! Even just last night we were walking home, and we were about 10 yards from the door, when we saw a man coming toward us. So, we looked at each other, about to walk in the building, and said at the same time, "A jeszcze 10!" hahaha. AND, He was AMAZING! We talked to him for so long (as long as our curfew would allow!), and hopefully will be meeting with him this coming Wednesday!! :) Miracles! I just have to say that I love my companion so much! When she came here, she brought with her a new sense of excitement for this work, and it is just so contagious!! Everyone we pass on the street is greeted with her warm little "Dzień dobry!" and a big smile, and they just can't help but smile back at her. :) I love it! I am so grateful to the Lord for letting me serve with her. 

We met so many wonderful people this week! I've been in awe of the people the Lord put in our path! Something that seemed to come up repeatedly to me this week, whether it be in conversations with others, my personal studies, a short visit to my favourite Janina in a little hospital room, a little note from an investigator, or anything else - is hope. My eyes have been opened so much this past week to the hope that comes from this gospel. There is a hope in this that is so hard to put into words, but so easy to see.. The hope God has for us, and the hope we have because of Him, is so obvious to me every day. I see the hope that develops in someone the first time they open up the Book of Mormon, and find an answer to their questions, or the hope that comes from that first prayer they offer. The hope of a better tomorrow, and the hope for second chances. Hope is such an incredible thing, and I have no doubt there is a reason it is listed in the Preach My Gospel book as a Christlike Attribute. This gospel, His gospel, is hope. And how wonderful it is to know - that hope is only the first step into an eternity of joy and blessings. This gospel is so much more than a simple "I wish" statement. 

I found a scripture this week during my studies, and I have absolutely fallen in love with it, so... I think I will end with this. :) 

"But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is it you." (1 Peter 3:15)

After reading that, it became the goal of my week, and even the rest of my life. :) To sanctify the Lord in my heart, and to always be ready to bear my testimony of Him to anyone that desires to know of the hope that is in me. Surely every bit of the hope I have, is because of him. :)

Well, I love you all so much, and am so grateful for you all in my life. I can't tell you that enough!!

The Lord loves you so much, and so do I! I hope you have an amazing week!!

Z miłością,

Siostra Kamp

Siostra Van's first Kebab! I love being able to see all her "first"'s! :)

Waiting for the train to go to Zone training in Warsaw! :)

The goofballs. Our Elder's definitely keep us laughing!

Service on the działka! 

Miracle of the many Monika's! :)

Dear Family and Friends,

Wow!! It feels like it has been years but hours since I last emailed you all! So many AMAZING things happened this week, so I'll just hop right to it! :)

First of all - MY BABY! :) 

As our Branch President's wife said yesterday, "She's as green as a freshly picked head of cabbage!" hahaha. 

SIOSTRA VAN WOERKOM!!! Oh my, she is the cutest person in the whole world. :) She is from California, has the most invredible singing voice I've ever heard, and is the biggest fan of watermelon, mac and cheese, and broadway! :) She is so happy all the time, and is just so excited to work hard and serve the Lord, and I am SO grateful for that. :D When I found out I would be training this transfer - I prayed SO much for my trainee, and I just loved her so much before I even found out who she was! But now that I have met her, and served with her for a little bit - I can honestly say that the Lord blessed me with the PERFECT companion. I am SO excited to serve with her. :) She is bringing miracles with her - it is amazing! :)

So, this week we had a very oddly recurring theme... MONIKA! 

But oh, not just one Monika, not even just 2 Monika's... 5 MONIKA'S! hahaha. Okay, story time! :)

The first two Monika's I met and talked to while I was in Warsaw, and they were super amazing! But I had no idea that the name "Monika" would become a regular occurence later that week! haha! 

So, Monika #1- It was the day after I had picked up Siostra Van from Warsaw! We were back home in Łódż, and we were heading to buy her a monthly tram pass :) We got to the city building (which was a miracle in and of itself because I had NO idea where I was going! haha!) and just as we were walking in, a woman was walking out. We smiled at each other, and she kept walking away, and I kid you not, I heard a voice in my head say, "Go talk to her." It seriously scared me, because I thought someone behind us had just randomly said that! But I turned around, no one was there, and the woman was already quite a ways away. I struggled for a few seconds with the classic, "Oh man, but she's already so far away, I'd have to run after her, and I don't want to give her the 'Mormons are crazy and chase you down!' kind of impression." hahaha, but then, I just looked at Siostra Van and took off and yelled, "We have to talk to her!" I think she probably thought, "Oh no. My companion is crazy...." hahaha! But nonetheless, we ran after her - and long story's short, we talked with her and she couldn't stop telling us how grateful she was that we had ran her down, and that she REALLY wanted to meet with us! She gave us her phone number, and we parted ways with a quick "See you soon" - and guess what? We are meeting with her!!! :D She is the cutest lady in the world!! I've never had an experience like that in my life. The prompting of the Spirit was so clear, and so distinct, and it was just such a miracle! I'm telling you all, Siostra Van brought miracles with her here to Łódż! :)

Monika #2- Siostra Van and I had planned to go walking around the city to talk to people one night, and we had prayed and decided that we wanted to go around this place my companions and I last transfer had only been once before. The problem was, I wasn't really sure how to get to the exact place I wanted to go. I knew the area, but... Not exactly the location. So, we got on a tram, and I just prayed and asked Heavenly Father to please tell me when we had to get off. We were going, and we got to the stop that I thought we should get off at, but when I tried to get off, it just didn't seem right. So, I thought, "Well, we'll just take it one more stop, then we can work our way back". But, the Lord had something a little different in mind. :) We got off at the next stop, but instead of working our way back, I just got this feeling we should go a way I hadn't gone before. Seriously, the spirit I have felt guiding me this transfer already is something I have never experienced... It is AMAZING!!! :O Anyway, sidenote. haha - I'm just so in awe! :) But anyway, we went the way the spirit directed, and a little ways in the distance we saw a woman. I turned to Sister Van and said, "Alright, do you want to try? :)" She looked at me, took a deep breath, and just nodded! (I was so proud!!) Then, she stopped the lady, and did such a good job introducing who we were!! I was in awe :) Then, we ended up talking to her about the restoration, and the whole time we were talking she just kept looking at us like, "What in the world..." haha! But she told us this, that she had just BARELY gone to the church to pray, and had felt so wrong there... She felt like something wasn't right, and had been thinking about it all the way home, and then here we were... It was INCREDIBLE listening to her talk about it... I can't even tell you! :) AMAZING. So, we ended up exchanging numbers with her, and we will be meeting with her later this week! :) I can't believe it!! And guess what her name was?... ;)

Monika #3 - This was a little miracle for Siostra Van! We were sitting at the tram stop, waiting to go home from the area we had just found Monika #2 in, and a young girl came and sat by us. Siostra Van turned to her and asked if she spoke english, and the girl said, "YES!" :) And they seriously talked until the tram came! It was such a little miracle for her, and she ended up inviting Monika to our english class. As she gave her the card with our information, Monika's face LIT UP. Her tram came just as she did, but she thanked Sister Van, and skipped off jumping up and down and saying, "I'M GOING TO GO TO THIS!" :) It was so cute!!! 

Oh man, so many other miracles happened - but I'll just leave it at the for now! I'm so grateful for all the miracles that we say, and for everything we were able to do :) I LOVE Siostra Van Woerkom, and I am just so grateful that the Lord sent her here to Łódż. She is going to be such a light to this city - she already is! 

Well, I have to sign off, but thank you all for your love and support, it means the world!

I love you all so much!!

Z miłością,

Siostra Kamp

Happy Birthday, Elder Dooley!! :)

Leaving the apartment for the last time with my lovely Sister Carlson!! :(

The best 2 train buddies I could've asked for! :)

Saying "see you soon" to one of my BEST friends. I love you, Siostra Carlson!!

Getting ready to go pick up our new companions!!! :) (We were a little excited!)

Siostra Dekker and I got Milka Bars to welcome our babies into the wonderful world of heavenly chocolate! ;)

She is MINE!! This was after Prezydent Turek told me for sure that Sio. Van was my companion, but honestly, I knew right when she walked in the door! :)

Welcome to Łódż, Sister Van Woerkom!! :)

Sio. Van's first time at Manekin!! I love seeing all her "first's"! :)

Her first Polish Żurek!! :)

Comps in the rain :)

My lovely friends Elwira and Marcin, and their little baby Gabi came to visit me in Łódż from Bydgoszcz!!! :) Oh, I seriously love them SO MUCH. I've made forever friends here.

A little note.

This week Lexi only had a few minutes to write! It is transfer week and she had to share the computer with a lot of missionaries waiting for their new missionaries to arrive. (No pictures either) She said I could share a part of her email to me as her letter this week to family and friends! We are all looking forward to next week, now, to see who her new companion is that she will be training!...and to get pictures! 
Thank you for all the love and prayers sent her way! 

Love, 
Mama Kamp

From Lexi:
I'm going to be a "mom"!!!!!! I'm training!!!!!!! Ohhhh man... I can't even believe it. When Prezydent told me I almost had a heart attack. But, yeah!! I am training, in Łódż, which I am SO happy about!! (and I'm also going to be the oldest missionary in my city, so pretty much all the responsibility for keeping the branch running is on my shoulders... Meetings, translation, activities... Ahhhh!) So, I am currently in Warsaw, and my "baby" is currently on a plane flying here! I can't believe it!! I don't even know who she is yet, what her name is, what she looks like, or anything, but.. I already love her so much. It's crazy :) Honestly, I am so grateful that I wasn't able to email you all on Saturday right after I got that call from Prezydent, though, because... If you would've asked me how I felt about it then, I would've told you I felt overwhelmed, scared, worried, and so weak, and I had no idea how I was going to do it... I felt so weak, mom, and it worried me so much... But honestly, that is why I am grateful I wasn't able to email you until today, because... I have LOST myself in prayer these last couple days, and every fear I had, I gave to the Lord.. It has been the most amazing experience. I remember after I got that call, I immediately knelt down, and I told the Lord I knew He had called me to be a trainor this next transfer, but I didn't think I could do it... I told him all my fears - "I don't have a good enough relationship with the members" "I don't speak Polish" "I don't know how to get anywhere, the trams are too confusing" and just all these worries... But seriously, the next day, on Sunday in church - every single fear I had was completely erased by the the Lord. I went to church, and our Branch President asked me to speak in sacrament meeting like 20 minutes before it started, because we didn't have enough speakers.. and honestly, I thought, "Oh boy... The Lord has too much faith in me." But seriously, it was the most amazing thing in the world. I went up to the pulpit, not even having an idea of what I was going to say, and... it just came. It was the craziest thing I have ever experienced... I can't even describe it. But, I will never forget that. My heart was SO full... After sacrament, one of the members came up to me and gave me the biggest hug, and told me I am the most amazing person she's ever met, and I cried. haha. Three other members came up and shook my hand, and told me what I said was just exactly what they needed, and one of them told me I was the angel he had prayed for to answer his prayer... Then the Prezydent of our Branch came up to me and had tears in his eyes!! And he shook my hand and all he said was, "You are an amazing woman, Sister Kamp." Then this member named Wioleta (she is the head translator for the church) came up to me after church, and told me that my Polish was perfect, and she sat in shock the whole time she listened to me speaking... She said I didn't make a single mistake! It was just... AH. Mom, I can't even describe it! The Holy Ghost was with me so much that day... It was a feeling like I've never experienced! Every doubt and fear I had ranted to the Lord the day before, was gone after that church meeting. He had given me little miracles all throughout that meeting, to reassure me that He was there, and He knows what He is doing. That He trusts me enough to do this, but also that He is not asking me to do it alone. When I kneeled down that night to pray, I could almost hear Him saying, "You are never alone, Sister Kamp. I'm here. Let's do this, together." It was amazing. I'm seriously teary eyed as I type this. I'm such a baby. haha! 

I have no doubt in my mind that the Lord has the perfect plan. I trust Him SO much, and I am SO grateful for the trust He has in me. It is incredible to me that He can trust me, a young 19 year old girl who is so imperfect, to carry out His perfect work. I know that He is with me, though, with absolutely every step I take. This is going to be an amazing transfer, and I cannot wait :) There are no feelings of dread, or worry, or inadequacy anymore... Only excitement, gratitude, and faith :) 

Love,
Siostra Kamp

I received this fuzzy picture in my Facebook messages and it brought tears to my eyes!  I love getting pictures each week from Lexi and when I don't it is hard to wait until the next week comes.  Heavenly Father always seems to send me his "tender mercies" to this Mama.  I always get a random picture emailed or sent to me when Lexi hasn't had time to send one.  He knows me and I feel his love for me, every time I recieve a sweet picture from Poland.  

From Tami Mowes:  We saw Siostra Kamp yesterday in the main train station in Warsaw.  She was on her way to meet her new trainee companion. 

Tracting, Trams, and Tender Mercies!

Dear Family and Friends, 

Hello, everyone! :) I sure do love you!

This week was chalked full of miracles! Do I say that every week? ;) hahaha. But, I'm just being honest! It's amazing how many miracles the Lord gives us every day. I have this little notebook, and at the end of each day I take time to write down a few miracles and memories from the day. It's amazing to me that no matter how uneventful a day may seem, whenever I sit down to write in that little notebook, I always have SO much to say! The Lord is so good to me. :) 

Well, I have a cool story for you all this week! It was amazing! So, last night Siostra Carlson and I sat down and looked at a map of Łódż. We had been tracting in a certain area, and we both felt that there was somewhere else we needed to be, but we didn't have the slightest idea where that was. So, we looked at this giant map of Łódż, and asked the Lord where he wanted us to be. Siostra Carlson got up, and pointed to a little area that we had passed a few days before just in passing, and it was amazing! We both just looked at each other, nodded our heads, smiled, and that was that! Off we went! But, it gets better. :) My entire mission, I have had a conversation with someone I tracted into a total of twice, and those have been absolute miracles! Sometimes people just don't want to listen, and all we can do is keep trying. But last night, Siostra Carlson and I talked to a total of 5 different people for at least 30 minutes each! It was incredible!! Each time we would leave someone's house, we would look at each other and say, "What is going on?!" hahaha! Then, we'd look at our watches and say, "Well, let's keep going! :)" and just when we thought it couldn't get better, someone else would let us in :) My heart was seriously so full last night as we talked to all those people! Michał, Piotr, Monika, Tomasz, Sławek... They were the most amazing people! And two of them even told us they wanted to keep meeting with us, and to come back next week! It was a miracle day! Even just typing this I am smiling so big! :) Sometimes I can only imagine how much the Lord delights to give us these miracles. I love Him SO much. It is hard to not love someone who shows you SO MUCH love, you know? So, there's my little miracle story from last night :) I could not stop thanking my Heavenly Father for all that happened that night! It was just miracle after miracle! 

This week we also had another little miracle! So, last Sunday, Siostra Carlson and I had traveled around Łódż trying to find some of the homes of our members to invite them to a fireside our branch had with Prezydent and Siostra Turek (that was AMAZING!!)! While we were on a tram, we saw a man helping this cute little grandma get  on to the tram and find a seat :) It was so Christlike, and it made us smile! We kept making eye contact with him and smiling, laughing at this cute little grandma trying to give him money saying "Just buy yourself a sandwich!!" hahaha! But anyway, fast forward a few days later, and we were walking through this beautiful park by our home and all the sudden we heard this, "Hey! You guys are from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints!" Our first thought was, "What?! They didn't even call us Mormons!" haha! But we turned around, and there he was! The man from the tram! We ended up having a wonderful conversation with him, and he told us he was so interested in our message, and wanted to meet again! So, long story is short, we met with him on Saturday, and he also came to church yesterday!! It was a miracle!! The Elder's will be teaching him from now on, but it was definitely a little tender mercy. 

Tender mercies are everywhere! :)

I don't have much else to tell this week, so I will let you all go! But, before I do I just have to say - this gospel is true. This is the gospel of Jesus Christ, the same gospel He taught when He lived on the Earth. I am SO lucky and blessed to have the opportunity to share that with others everyday. The Lord loves the people of Poland so much, and I am count myself blessed every single day to be here with them. :) 

I hope you all have an amazing week!! 

Kocham was bardzo! 

Z miłością,

 Siostra Carlson snapped this because... I got 5 bloody noses in one day. It needed to be documented. haha. 

We made our cutest doorman ever a cupcake for his birthday! :) (He said it was verrrrrrrry sweet!) Polish people don't like "sweet tasting" things as much as us americans :) But he LOVED it. haha!

 Funfetti cupcakes!! Thank you, mom!! :)

Agnieszka tried a cupcake too! She also said it was way too sweet ;) But also loved it :)
