A baptism in Katowice!

Hey everyone just a few things to say this week. I just wanted to start off with what happened last week. We had a baptism in Katowice! It was one of the best days of my life I loved it. He's such a good guy, I had the privilege of interviewing him last Friday and it was a really special moment for me to see someone so ready to accept the gospel. Then Saturday was the day of the baptism. We walked 14km to a lake where we baptised him and on the day as a whole we walked 20km which was really long haha, but it was so worth it. It was at a beautiful lake in the middle of nowhere and then after that we went and made a campfire, confirmed him as a member, cooked some sausages and chatted for a little while and then came home. It was such an amazing day. It's so good as well to see that the work continues to move forward, even under the given circumstances.

I just wanted as well to share a little thought I had this week. I was reading in Alma in the Book of Mormon about Alma and Amulek. I thought about who they both were, and who they both became, and these words came to mind, 'God calls the unlikely.'

Alma was a man who tried to destroy the Church, but God needed him on His side, and eventually he became a mighty prophet called to preach the word of God. Amulek had rejected God and had refused to accept him, but God needed him on His side, to support and sustain Alma and be his companion. Together they brought many souls unto God, but at first they were two unlikely people to be called to the work. In many ways I too feel like one of those unlikely people, but I've really come to learn that this is the work of Almighty God, and He makes weak things strong to achieve His eternal purposes. 

Love you all and speak soon.
