I Ate Flaki, Exchanges, And I Sang For A Catholic Mass

Hello family! Hope you had an awesome week just like I did!


A few highlights of the week:
For New Year's Eve, I bought a jar of flaki. Flaki is cow intestines. Polish people buy flaki and eat it regularly. A lot of people like flaki.


I do not.


But I am proud to say that on New Year's Eve, I ate half a jar of flaki.


It was a good lesson on setting goals.


We also got to go to Kraków for exchanges with the Sister Training Leaders there. I got to spend the day with Sister Lueck, who was inthe MTC with me. I love Sis Lueck to death. We had so much fun, and I learned a lot about finding people.


We were doing a finding activity about Family History, and she stood on the streets and basically sang and danced in between asking people ifthey wanted to do family history. So much fun.


Sister Jensen and I sang a duet for a Catholic mass on Three Kings Day yesterday. A couple of weeks ago, one of our friends cane to our church services, and she invited us to go with her to mass on the holiday yesterday.


So we walked with her to a BEAUTIFUL church (it used to be Lutheran, I think. Look up Kościół Wszystkich Świętych in Poznań). She brought us to her priest and introduced us to him  and he asked us "So what are you singing for us?"


"Ummmm....Silent Night??"


"Awesome. Go up these stairs. The organist will be up to practice with you in a moment."


So we practiced once with the organist and then sang for everyone during Mass. The acoustics of this church were beautiful.


It was so cool.


Sorry, I am ending prematurely because I am out of time, but I love you alland hope you have fantastic weeks!
