Not about my mission, but about my roommates mission to Adelaide Australia. When I was leaving Priesthood session last night, I ran into one of my past bishops (left) and notified him where I would be serving my mission. Then (knowing that he would be serving as a mission president) I asked him where his call was extended to. He replied with, "It will be to Adelaide Australia!" I reacted with sheer excitement because, my roommate, from Round Rock, Texas (right) will be serving under him approximately one month after he gets to the country. What a small world we live in today!I am still working on learning some of the language. It is difficult, but I thought I would review some of things that I have learned. Particularly, the alphabet is strange, even though they use the same alphabet.
Some strange things, just about the alphabet:
- There are no Q's, V's or X's
- A 'w' makes a 'v' sound
- This funny letter (an 'L' with a slash through it) Ł or ł makes a 'w' sound
GENERAL CONFERENCE
General conference was quite enjoyable! I particularly enjoyed Priesthood session. They spoke much of setting a good example for those around you. It was notably mentioned that it is our priesthood duty to set an example/standard for those around us in which all would want to follow in our footsteps.
Also, during the Sunday Morning Session, President Uchtdorf's talk was all about judging others. His recommendation: STOP IT! We all find ourselves from time to time judging others, when we should be mostly worried about ourselves, and taking care of our own issues. In conjunction with this talk about judgement, he made a bold statement when he said, "don't judge me because I sin differently than you". This is so true, because we all have our own problems, and we need to fix/solve them in our own way.
I hope to hear from you all,
Sincerely,
Brother Baranowski
