Sorry this isn't a very good picture. I was pretty close to the stage, but I had to zoom in as much as I could!! So it doesn't look very sharp. He is singing AND playing "Angels" on the piano!! How much more talented can this kid get!?!Wednesday, July 16, 2008
This was David's last song called "When you say you love me". It was the best song of the whole night! There were millions of girls screaming (including me!) on the top of their lungs for this song. It was insane! At the end, David was pausing to sing the last note and then all of a sudden he just starting tearing up and laughing! He couldn't finish the last note!!! I was like screaming and laughing. He said, "Look what you guys made me do!!" while laughing and crying. Then finally after like a minute of screaming, he finished it and then laughed some more!! SO CUTE!!Tuesday, July 8, 2008
July 7...settling in and playing guns
dobry dzien wam!
i got all transfered this week a whole 2 trainstops down from my old place. It was more difficult that it sounds though.. nevertheless i made it. I love my new companion he's a way funny guy.. still rocking and shocking too. We've had a lot of success just in the couple days we've worked together. This week nothing too exciting happened I'm trying to think of some of the highlights of my week... alright heres kind of a funny story.. kind of
last pday we went and play sports with everyone and the park. Elder McRae and I were hanging out shooting some ball and wat not... he got tired of me throwing down t-mac off the backboard dunks so he saw these polish kids playing "guns" with tree branches and well mcrae is from idaho.. he enjoys a good game of guns.. heck i do as well when occassion permits.. so him and i go find some tree branches and cautiously make our way toward this group of 10 kids.. they catch sight of us and send out their leader to talk some shop. The other 9 follow behind him a ways off. I ask him if we can play. He immediately asks if I'm a pole.. "no im american" ... "oh, well you guys cant play because we have already made plans and you wont understand the passwords" ... im like.."szkoda, but we are way good i promise." .... then all the sudden im not sure what happened, i think McRae fired the first shot... but they all start running after us.. i tried to lay down some cover fire but there were too many. The next 10 to 15 minutes they purused to run around the park after us.. it was all fun and games until they started javelin-ing their sticks at us. Luckily McRae and I are pretty quick so we came out unharmed. It was pretty fun though.. it was like 10 little polish camerons running around with tree branches.
Alright now the important stuff... the work. This week was kind of lame because it was transfer week and I was with Elder Deuel. We basically shopped and packed and cleaned (we had to close down our apartment) for three days before transfers. And then transfer day was what it usually is. Hectic crazyness.. missionaries coming and going.. helping people get all of their luggage on to moving trains .. saying goodbye to dying missionaries and hello to the new ones. We only had one new missioanry this transfer it was a Sister missionary (my death sister, she goes home with me). She's cool.. she's being trained in Gdansk. So basically that left the weekend to work and that's exactly what we did. Stinett is way good at the language so that has been kind of a breath of fresh air. We threw down and got a bunch of numbers which we are going to need a lot of because once again ive walked into an area book of absolutely no investigators ...woot... and since i left the north zone i had to hand off my investigators from ursus to the elders up there in the north. So yeah thats been the work ive talked to a lot of cool people the last few days.. and yeah.. i love it..i leave my testimony with everyone i can find and i know the Lord will bless me with people to teach whether it's now or in 10 months. I'm feeling baptism this transfer for suure! ..just gotta find someone first.. Oh and polish is good.. im still awful but i get by :-)
happy fourth of july! we just had a small little bbq with some half rate polish steak.. yumm hope yall had fun
happy birthday sydney! sorry i wasnt there with jashinsky to throw down enrique iglesias round 2... hope you took in the fireworks for me.. for some reason poland doesnt celebrate americas independence day.. so no fireworks.. lame i know.. i dont understand it either.
i love you family! you guys are my rock.. hope you are all doing amazingly.. if not hit me up and ill send you some european chocolate.. although lysha probably took home enough to feed a small village in madagascar.

June 30, 2008..transfers again...........
Hey fam. We got transfer calls this week.. yikes-a-bee where does the time go huh. I'm switching companions and Zones .. again. Im staying in Warsaw though, im just in the warsaw-south boundaries now. I've now served in all 4 zones of the mission. CrazZZzy sauce for sure. Im going with Elder Stinett who is an old man in this mission. He dies in a few months. I've met him a couple times hes a fun guy.. cowboy-type, wayy loud, loves lifting weights.. protein shake entrepreneur .. match made in heaven, no? im excited to go with him, our district is going to be way sicky too.
Let's see excitement of the week...
our district went out to Godfreys place and did yard work.. all day. It's a good thing Im so chisled from the hours upon hours of manual labor I did back in Idaho. It was a good feeling to pick up where i left off. It was kinda like that one time I went to the fieldhouse to lift weights having never experienced the straight, pure joy that comes from lifting sweaty pieces of iron... by the end i couldnt hold my cell phone to my ear... it was actually a lot of fun though, im going to miss my district.
Alright souls are perishing on every side, we've got to head.
however, im still in warsaw.. close to the mission office.. packages are always welcome
i love you all so much! have a most excellent week.

June 24, 2008..miracles do happen
Co u was slychac'?!
sorry i wasnt able to get an email out yesterday... me and elder Deuel had a run in with some pretty trashed hoolis, Deuel could only take so many before he got a trident to the heart, i was fortunate enough just to get a stab wound to my left kidney. So this is from a laptop im using at the Warszawa Institute of Medicine.
This week.. hmm this week... twas kind of a depressing week. Obviously with the events of yesterday it kind all got topped off with a cherry of irony. All of our progressing investigators are no longer progressing. They are busy with school and work, which is understandable, i know how that goes. But i dunno cause like Jared and I always found time to meet with the Jehowahs witnesses at byu every week.. and we were busy men. We helped Godfrey in our branch move homes. I think i told you about Godfrey? He's the one from Zimbabwe .. his wife and kids are still there on the brink of death. He's an amazing man. There are 6 Christlike attributes in Preach My Gospel. We call him the seventh. So we got all his stuff out basically the closet he was living in and moved him out to this house that a few other members are living in. Its a wway nice place Im excited for him. Its like 30 minutes outside of the boundaries of Warsaw. So that was good times doing that for him.
Had kind of a mircale this week. Deuel and I were contacting people.. getting rejected, alot. I tried stopping this couple and they gave me the cold shoulder, actually it was like a bjillion degress out so it was a pretty warm shoulder, slightly sweaty. We kept walking and stopping people then we turned around and started heading back the way we came. On the way back the guy from the couple stopped us and lead us over to this bench in the park where is girl was chilaxin. He was like "we have 20 minutes, tell us what you are all about" ... so we did. they were amazingly nice people.. got his number. miracle.
Alright i gotta head to zone pday.. we are playing sports today woot.
hes a quick half haiku for a friend thats been edited.
Souls in the balance
Water buffalo ablaze
Poland, I love this place.
i love you all have an amazing week.
milosc bez granic dzis i na zawsze

June 16, 2008...girl on the street
hey fam.. We got back way late from our pday trip today so thisll be a shorty
we taught a girl named Agnieszka this week.. that was this week right? hope i didnt tell you about this already. She's this one girl.. like mid 20's.. that i gave a book of mormon to on the street.. which i usually don't do cause yeah.. we usually like to meet with them first. Anywho, we met with her in this park in downtown warsaw which is to say the least magical. Me Deuel and her were just chilling on this bench on this goooorgeous summer afternoon, sun peeking through the trees, light breeze, actually President Monson was on his usual afternoon stroll and he stopped and said a few words, he bauched a couple of the words but I dont think he studies polish everyday so i can forgive that. It was basically the polish version of the sacred grove.. we taught her about the restoration and she seemed down with all of it. There has yet to be a time on my mission where there wasnt an intense rush of the spirit as soon as the story and vision of Joseph Smith were taught.
We went to this siiicky tight town today called Kazimierz Dolny. I got some sweet bonus pics...be excited, promise to send some soon. Elder McRae and I have discovered 'art' on our missions. So my photography skills have septupled. By discovering art i mean he showed me how to turn my camera to the black and white setting and 'sepia.' my pictures have never been so beautiful.
We had two baptisms in our Zone this weekend.. both Africans as a matter of fact. The brothers love the Gospel here in Poland, they are great people. Andrzej has been kind of MIA this week.. we are supposed to call him tonight to set up.. the eurocup has been going on so i figure thats part of the reason.
Happy Fathers day! I love you Dad, sorry I dont have time to send you an email this week.. i will next week. Thanks for everything you do. me and an elder had a talk about wakeboarding on the bus ride today... made me trunky... and made me miss you
have a great week family. love you
