no more counting... District Conf

I can't count any higher. It wasn't intended for a count up or down anyway... It just ended up being that way but the counting fun is over.

We went to District conference in Warsaw last weekend. Cody and Jasmine went too, but they met us there on Sunday because we had meetings on Saturday so we were there for the whole weekend. Cody and Jasmine are medical students in Lublin at one of the universities. They are in their 3rd year and then they will head back home to Thaiwan. I can not say enought about these two. Cody has been a member his entire life while Jasmine is a convert of 2 years. They are the most dedicated, wonderful people I have ever met. I love them. Eveyone loves them! I mean everyone! They have 10 trillion friends who have the upmost respect for them and they make friends with every. single. age group! They are a blast! One day, in the not so distant future, they will get married. I hope I can go.


This is a picture of all the branch president's here in Poland. They are a worken' bunch of men! Brother Staples, standing next to Nate, moved here about the same time as us and he works for the Embassy in Warsaw. They have a daughter Bailey's age and we love their family. Too bad they aren't next door neighbors.


Bailey finally got to go to Young Womens. It was acutally a youth meeting so all the young men were invited too.. but she couldn't wait! It was awesome! She made a friend, Grace, who she instantly fell in love with and they traded numbers and made some future plans! We are so thankful for friends! Grace's dad works for the Embassy. He was put in the District Presidency on Sunday and he gave a talk in Polish. Which is amazing to me since he doesn't know Polish. But he did an amazing job!

At conference all the speakers spoke in Polish except Pres. Nielson. So we all wore an ear piece that had a translator speaking into so that we could understand what was going on. It was pretty cool.

Monday was a hard day for school... But Tuesday we totally turned a corner. We figured it out! Not only was it pleasant, it was fun! Then last night I got sick... strep sick.
Today Dr. Ernest (next door) called me in a Rx for antibiotic and probiotic. Bless his little heart.

Happy Birthday Keetchy boy! I love you!

And the best news of the entire year.... drum roll... Aunt Merilee and Uncle Loran are having a baby! Congrats to them! We can not wait to see the wee one... We are already in love.
