We've had a really good week.....

Yes, we've had a really good week apart from the fact that it rained every day. We've managed to do something effective or at least fun each day. For example a few days ago we had a lot of spare time so I decided all 4 of us were going to buy a different coloured poncho and then we'd go contacting. that will explain this picture a little better. I was laughing so much and what made it better is that Elder Asendrych kept his bag on under his poncho and so he looked like a hunchback haha. 


We had a lot of fun in the park on Friday. We went in the rain, didn't expect anyone to be there but felt it was a good idea, we invited some friends and went. About an hour in a young lady walked by us with her 18-month-old son. We were the only people in the whole park. we kicked the ball over to where she was walking to get their attention and that started about a 45-minute stretch in which Elder Wagley and I played with this little lad whilst the others talked to his mum. It was the most fun I'd had for a while, the joy and happiness and light children have with them is amazing! 


General conference is fast approaching. We'll be doing our part in preparing ourselves to receive the spiritual messages that our leaders have prepared for us, will you?


Have a solid week!

The time is flying now!

The time is flying now!  I can't believe I'm sat in this library again emailing home. The weeks seem to be going by faster and faster, it's funny how time works.

Elder Asendrych is doing really well. I really do hope he's enjoying himself. This country has so much fun and joy to offer, especially when we dedicate our time and efforts to serving and fulfilling our purpose, the blessings of serving in such a beautiful and historic place are ever so clearer and tangible. 


He's got a long time of service ahead of him, I couldn't be more excited for him and everything he's going to learn and experience.

I've been entrusted with the life of a new missionary.

Hey Mum and Dad and anyone else reading.

If you don't already know by now I've been entrusted with the life of a new missionary for my last transfer. I'm serving with Elder Asendrych from Leeds, England, at the trainer/trainee meeting in Warsaw as president was assigning us our new companions..he looked at me and said 'Elder Ashworth will be serving with..of course.Elder Asendrych' I got up and cheered and ran over to him and gave him a big hug, thought I'd lost him too he's that small. He's a good lad though, quiet and confident, and knows why he is here, he has his goals and his expectations.

We were asked to think about things our trainers did good, and also things that they did bad, so we could apply the things they did well into our own training and avoid the bad things. I thought a lot about my first transfer with Elder Taylor and honestly couldn't think of anything I needed more than Elder Taylor to be my trainer.

One funny experience from the week. It was our first morning together. Elder Asendrych gets out of bed and asks me 'what do I do first? shower or exercise or what?', I just said 'whatever you want, the morning is yours'. he went about his morning, at about 7:20 I noticed him start to get dressed, then he brushes his teeth, puts his shoes on and sits at his desk, I walked in and said 'where you off to?' he looked at me, I was still in sweats preparing to exercise, he laughed and said 'nowhere, just force of habit I guess'. 


Scripture from the week, something I found that reminds me of how we should be.



'Albowiem nie wstydzę się ewangelii Chrystusowej, jest ona bowiem mocą Bożą ku zbawieniu każdego, kto wierzy'
