Goodbye to Big Ghost

I have sad news. They are closing Bydgoszcz to sisters. I have seen the rise and fall. I am not sure what it really means that I served here the whole time it is was open. The thing is that we are losing two sets of elders so they are sending sisters to other areas to replace them. Well so that means both of us our moving. A hint of where I am going. . . when we talk this christmas, you will be able to find something in the tour guide about this city. I am moving north to Gdansk! Once again I will be opening that area to sisters. However, I am not training, and it has only been closed for a little under a year. I am excited for a change and the new city.
Saying goodbye to Bydogszcz on the famous bridge.
Five months ago Sister Jones knocked on a door and talked to a girl through the door. Evenutally the girl openned the door and accepted the Book of Mormon. After being gone for the summer, and moving apartments she finally had time to meet. We met in the old square. It is a good thing there wasn't very many people out because I had no idea what she looked like. She recognized us by our name tags. We had a great meeting with her. She read the entire Book of Mormon and was really curious about prophets.  This meeting was just proof that you can't give up. If anything about my stay in Bydgoszcz is that it is always when you least expect it miracles happen.

This week  our upstairs neighbor told us he wants to invite us to tea so we can talk about the plan of god. We have had only small talk as we have passed each other. But he told us he is interested in us and him and his wife have talked and want to know what we believe. Those are the best contacts. Hopefully we can find a time to meet before we leave.

Also banana bread was a hit in English class and I gave some to our neighbor this morning. This afternoon she is teaching us how to make Polish food.

Well I love you all!
PS no fudge yet. I hope it makes it or it is going to make a mess in the mailbox.
