Well, my friends, I'm in Łódź again. Home sweet home. Kinda ... I mean, I suppose it's home for the time being. So it's fine. We'll go with that. Home sweet home. I really am glad to be in Łódź again though. Warsaw was fun and all (I actually really did love it - more on that later), but I was sick of living out of a tiny carry-on suitcase and being without my cute koleżanka and not talking to my elders and senior couple and all that jazz. It is NICE to be home.
So. Warsaw. WHAT an adventure! It was pretty crazy! We did a few whiteboards, and those are always fun. My FAVORITE was the one with Starszy Waskiewicz, my MTC Brother. I love that kid! And he's so funny! We were inviting everyone to general conference, and when he'd pass out ulotki, he'd say, "Proszę bardzo, coś dobrego!" Which basically means, "Here you go! Something good!" Ah. I love him.. He's so great. Also, on that occasion, I was handing out ulokti and zapraszać-ing people, and this guy, was like, "No thanks, Sister." In English, with a weird accent. Um, excuse me? Alright then ... So I went on with my life, passing out ulotki and zapraszać-ing people, and he comes BACK, and he's all, "Are you hungry?" I'm sorry, WHAT now? So I'm all, "Nie. Dziękuję." Who needs all THAT noise? And then he's like, "Do you speak English?" and I was like, "Tak, mowię po angilsku," but I was trying to speak Polish, and I HATE it when people try to make me use English! And then he said something about Germany - like, that I was from Germany or something? -, and was like, "Then why are you speaking Polish? I don't understand any Polish." And I was like, "Oh, uh, sorry. I speak English. I'm from the States." And he was like, "Oh. Well. Are you hungry? I was about to go get some food ..." Hm. Yeah. No. So I was like, "Yeah, no thanks. I'm good." And he was like, "Are you sure?" "Um, yeah. Thanks." So then he walked away. It was all very odd. And then later, I was telling Waski about it, and he was like, "Sister Young. Was he handsome?" Pft! NO. But it's so Waski to ask a question like that. I love the kid.
Let's see ... what else happened that was exciting ... I'm really drawing a blank here! This whole week has been bizarre and freaky fast. I guess that's what happens when they take you out of your hometown and you end up with Warsaw for a week.
Conference was SUPER awesome. Man. I loved it. And we even got to watch it all in English! I LOVE English! I mean, Polish is great and all, and I really do love it, but my comprehension isn't near as good as in English. For obvious reasons. I can't WAIT to get the November Ensign and read them all!
So, while I was in Warsaw, it was FREEZING cold. And, because I had a limited amount to time to get my stuff together and it wasn't that cold, I just grabbed a light scarf and went on my way. That was NOT enough in Warsaw. So ... I bought some stuff ... Namely four scarves, two hats, two earwarmers, and a pair of mittens. But I'm going to use them all winter! And maybe for the rest of my life! Because they're really cute! So it's fine - don't worry about it. I will be warm and snug and happy in Poland. Except for the fact that I have not yet purchased a big winter coat ... I need to get on that. Hm. Maybe next week ....
Speaking of Warsaw. It was SO fun. And I feel kinda bad about that. My poor cute companion was in the hospital, and then in the mission home, suffering, while I was chilling with Sister Howells (who is SUPER awesome) and Sister Tobler (who is ALSO SUPER awesome. And hilarious. And reminds me of Emily a lot, so THAT was super fun!). I feel bad about this. But I had to make the best of things, right? It's fine. I'll just justify my job some more, no worries. But you know what? Sister Wendel and I are going to have a BLAST the rest of the transfer, so it'll all be okay. I am so happy to be with her again! I love my comp!
I think that's about all I got for ya, guys. It was a crazy week, but now that I reflect on it, fairly uneventful as far as big things go.
LOVE YOU ALL! SO SO MUCH!
