Hi all,
This week has been another good one. It started on Monday with a
trip to the zoo for Elder B and I. We got in for 12 zł and proceeded to
walk the whole giant Katowice zoo with every animal from Rhinos to a
hippo to emus. The animals are also way more active here where it is not
170 degrees in the daytime. The whole thing was a nice experience that
turned great when we saw a "dinosaur park" in the zoo with Dinosaur
statues. We then went and rode on Dinosaurs and got some good pictures
of that, it was like a dream come true. "I feel like a palaentologist
whose been hunting dinosaurs my whole life and finally got to meet
one!". That was a blast.
During the week we had the opportunity to stop and talk
to a girl on the street for a while and it went really well. Her name
was A and we talked with her for some time about what she thought about
religion, what Mormons believe about religion, and we just had a really
good conversation. It was all going really well until she had to go to
catch her bus.
Other than that,this week we had the opportunity to go
to the circus here in Sosnowiec. I was very excited because it was my
first circus. It was no "Ringaling" Brothers, but it was very
entertaining. The whole thing was in Polish and they had everything from
lion tamers (with 6 white lions) to a magician, to a set of clowns
doing skits. There was even a Ukranian artist who did the rollo bollo
(or however it is spelled) where they balance on a board that is on top
of a tube or piece of piping. He was balanced on a board that had a
tower of blocks of different sizes underneath it, and then at the bottom
was his pipe with a small block on top of it. Not to mention, all of
this took place on a platform about 7 feet off the ground already.Then,
his assistant threw him three clubs and he juggled up there. It was
nuts.
That is the meat of the week, the work is going kind of
slow, but we are still in good spirits and we know we are doing all we
can, so the rest is up to the Lord.
Love you all,
Starszy Godwin
