After doing all the morning chores and reading the
scriptures together, we headed for the church to help
Elders Garrett and Gladun teach a young investigator.
The appointment was at 11:30, but Patrik had slept in
and said that he would be there at 12:00.
We waited till about 12:15, but then we had to leave.
The Elders stayed to teach Patrick.
We had an appointment with Maria at 1 pm. She
lives at the far end Gdynia and it takes us about 45 min
to get there. Due to all the road construction
it took us an hour to get to her place that day.
Elders Krzyminski and Gudnason went with us.
Maria is less-active. She is very, very nice. Interested
in everybody's life. The Elders gave her a message
on faith from the Book of Mormon. I gave her a copy
of the visiting teaching message.
By the time we got back to Gdansk, it was around 3 pm.
We stopped to buy some buns with apple filling
at this booth that is on the way to
the church. That was our lunch that day.
You can find booths like this one or bakeries that sell buns
all over the country. It is very common
to see people walking while eating their "breakfast" or "lunch".
At 4 pm we met with Elders Garrett and Gladun to
teach Ania. We really like her a lot. She is rather
quiet, but very friendly.
The Elders had another meeting lined up at 6 pm,
but it was cancelled. That gave us time
to go home for a bowl of soup and a sandwich.
Our last meeting was with Jadwiga,
her son Arek, and Arek's
girlfriend Karolina and her son Kasper.
Jadwiga has been a member for 15 years.
Arek wasn't ready at the time (teenager!!), but now
he and Karolina are investigating the church.
After dropping off the Elders we got home around 10 pm.
This was quite a busy day. Fortunately we have some
slower days too.
