Reminders

To you:

Thanks for showing up. 

Thanks for doing what you can and a little more. 

Thanks for caring.

Thanks for feeling bad after your emotions get the best of you.

Thanks for waiting your turn.

To me:

Remember this wisdom from one who lived it:

"We can do no great things, only small things with great love."

— Anjezë Gonxhe Bojaxhiu (Mother Teresa)

We orientationated, no, orientated, no, oriented our first new missionaries this week on our own. The Johnsons (Parowan, UT) arrived Tuesday and got the benefit of our overloading them with a bunch of (probably wrong) information. They're now settled in the lovely Gdańsk and it appears they made it through their first week. On Tuesday we'll meet six more exceptional young people beginning their service in Poland and they'll meet their trainers who are as excited as expectant parents.

A lady from Finland living here accepted the missionaries' invitation to attend church today. We remembered a few words of Finnish, but as luck, or the Lord would have it, there happened to be another Finnish lady, a member, passing through Warsaw, attending today also. What are the odds?

We hope you remember that we know the Church is true, the Book is blue, and we Love you.
