MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!

Merry Christmas Everybody!!!!
I'm here in Poland, and the weather has been pretty cold, it got colder when I moved to WARSAW!  Yep, I'm in Warsaw now and not in Poznan anymore.  I miss my Poznan family a lot ,but I'm also really excited for this new place.  After packing and getting ready to leave Poznan, Sister Bezdjian, chicken pox and all, took me to the train station with the Reeds.  I tried to call a few people to tell them I'd be leaving Poznan, but I didn't get to talk to everyone, so sorry to anyone I missed!  I still love you!  And really wanted to say goodbye, only thing was, I didn't know until Sunday night and we couldn't leave the house so... whoops.  I bought a Lech Poznan scarf - blue and white stripes - proud of myself on that one, I hate buying things but HAD to have something from my favorite city in the world... so yep.  (p.s. someone should look at the reed's blog - did we have a baptism in Poznan or not?  I WANT TO KNOW!  DID MARCIN GET BAPTIZED?!?  Who baptized him?  How does he look?)

Gave a hug good bye to Sister B. and headed on down the hallway of the train to find an open spot, I went in and asked a man if I was in the right spot and he told me I could stay and then went on to haul my stuff up on a rack - SO NICE because it was SO HEAVY!  I got to talking to him, and another lady in the train, they were the nicest people EVER and I got to share the Restoration with them and got their ADDRESSES!  And sent them BOOKS OF MORMON already!  So awesome, the spirit was there, and the CHURCH IS TRUE!
Then I met my companion for the second time... I met her once really quick on my second day in Poland, but her name is Sister Nicole Sheahan.  You may have heard of her before.  She has a song on one of the EFY C.D.'s  - yeah she's basically famous...haha, just don't tell her that I don't think she believes it.  She's really humble, kind of quiet, but fun and nice and a red-head.  And since we all know how I feel about red-heads (Tasha...Tom...Tonja...Jacob) this will be super GREAT! :) (p.s., I love red-heads) Sister Sheahan has just showered me with compliments this last week, and I'm so grateful for her confidence in me.  She's super nice and a good cook, also a vegitarian, that'll be interesting :) haha...

Anyhoo...I am really grateful for this new start, I'm ready to start over fresh and really hit the ground running.  The first few days here I've done just that and it's been AMAZING the difference I feel, just being CONFIDENT!  I know that I'm supposed to be in Warsaw.  We're starting from small numbers here, but we're getting tons of contacts a day and the next transfer is going to be a blast!  When I say small numbers, though, I'm not talking about members.  We have a CHAPEL in Warsaw!  I saw it for the first time on my first day here in Warsaw and it made me cry - literally.  WE HAVE A CHAPEL IN POLAND!  YEaH!  Oh man... that was cool. 

I just know that the church is true, more than ever in my life I know it.  I know that Christ lives.  He loves us.  He wants us to be happy and he wants us to be confident.  He also is willing to give us a new start, everyday if need be.  So I encourage all of you with this new year to set some goals, shoot for the sun, and if you fall among the stars it's okay!  I know that you can do anything God sees expedient in Him.  I loved studying that word this week, 'expedient' - Ask for the Spirit to be in more abundance in your life, He can lead and guide you.  Just yesterday we asked the Lord to guide us to someone on the streets.  Sister S., when I asked her what our contact was going to look like, said 'she's a young college student' = guess what!  We found this girl who says she prayed yesterday morning to be able to talk to some sort of priest because she felt lost... then she ran into US!  We're set up for two weeks away, and GOD KNOWS HER!  And He definitely knows YOU.

Remember the true meaning of Christmas!  Christ will be there for you always!
Love,
Siostra Amber Allen

p.s. there was a lot more I wanted to say, but I want to play basketball...WHAT?  HAha, yeah I'm going to play basketball...in a chapel... in Poland...With some elders and sisters of the only true church on this crazy planet we call Earth!  Wahooo!

Goldi Lox & Chicken Pox

Well, folks... Once upon a time, Sister B. was like, I have this weird sore on my thumb... and a couple hours later, yeah and my head itches... day later... little red boils ALL OVER her body... so we went to the doctor and she goes, 'Ospa, na pewno, ospa.'  To znacze  CHICKEN POX!  Man... crazy... my companion has the chicken pox.  She already had it when she was a kid...and so did I... so I've been a bit worried that I'll get it, but so far, so good.  Anyways, we've been under quarantine and in seclusion for like three days in the same 30 square feet... yeah, fun stuff.  We've called EVERYONE I think we could call in the Area Book.  And EVERYONE in the phone.   We're not allowed to leave the house...so we've been creative, cleaning, making Christmas Cards, studying Polish, decorating the apartment for Christmas.  And now we're at the Reed's apartment e-mailing everyone!   We've been in our apartment for like three days... Wednesday night, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and today.. MAN!  That's like FOUR days... haha, good thing i have the best missionary in the world for a companion - we were up some nights with her in major pain, but it's working out and everything will be okay, she's on the mend.
But what have I learned this week?  How much I really love being out doors and working with people.  I love the work.  Also, I have learned that we can still be really productive as we are at home!  I get worried I'm not being productive enough, but hey... doing my best!    In the one lesson we did have this week - okay we had three... but there was one which I remember the most, where the woman kept saying, 'Well why does God let bad things happen to good people?  Why is there so much death and distruction?  Why is one man born rich and another poor?'  She was so frustrated and upset.  I quietly testified that she could find those answers as she read the Book of Mormon... sad thing is, this woman is also a member, and she loudly replied, 'I've read it and you can't find those answers, we'll never know them.'  I also heard about the school shooting this last week and I know that it may be hard for us (Mom and I) to understand, I was sad about it even and haven't really heard any details - which is fine, don't need to hear any details... however, I read a talk by President Monson titled, 'He Is Risen' given in the May 2010 General Conference...not sure which session.  It was amazing and just what I needed, so if any of you need some answers, read that talk, also I encourage you to talk with God about this, don't shut him out.  If you have questions like this, God is the answer.  HE IS LOVING.  HE KNOWS YOU.  And he cares more about the children of the earth than anyone.  If you want to blame anyone for bad things, blame Satan, or the natural man, or both, they are enemies to God.  But don't blame god.  Also don't think you know better than Him, if something is happening in your life, maybe it's for a reason.  Learn.  Love.  Don't hate.  And don't get the chicken pox on your mission... haha...

We had a really spiritual experience when the Elders brought us the sacrament yesterday, they blessed it right there in our little apartment and it was just so good.  The spirit was there and I felt so special, that God had sent me His Son, to die for me, and to perform the Great Atonement and he would have done it just for me and my companion there in that little room if needs be because the worth of souls is so great to Him!  Oh it is WONDERFUL!  I'm so grateful for the Savior, and grateful we get to celebrate his birth this time of year.  There are Christmas lights and a big tree in down town Poznan and people are out buying presents.  A regular halla-baloo!  So fun.  

Speaking of Poznan, I also have some pretty big news... drum-roll please...I'm being transferred!  Yep, cried about it this morning for a while, and thought about all the crazy good times I've had in Poznan.  This last transfer has been a serious BLAST, we're so close to some baptisms, I can just feel them.  I wish I could hang around for a little bit longer, especially with Sister Bezdjian, I love this girl so much!  She has taught me how to really work.  I love her for all she has taught me, for who she is, and that she even thinks I'm kind of cool.  Thanks Sister B!  Maybe next week will be an Ode to Sister Bezdjian... and a Welcome to WARSAW!  I'll be in Warsaw for a while with Sister Sheahan.  Super excited about that.  I met a guy who knows her right before my mission. He wrote down his name on a napkin and gave it to me and told me to give her a big hug for him... um not sure where the napkin is but it was a tall big blonde guy with lots of charisma, maybe she'll just know him... I plan on giving her that hug on Wednesday, when I'll be leaving Poznan.  

Yep, so that's the craziness of my life right now.  But guess what, I LOVE IT!  The work goes forward, everyone, and everyday I see the Lord's hand.  I'm learning PATIENCE.  I'm learning DISCIPLINE.  I'm learning lots, and it's so good.
Mom, Dad, Gregg, Nathan, Spencer, Rachel, James, Luke, and Hyrum, hope you know I pray for you every day!  I'm sending you Christmas presents -- maybe just a letter to gregg... but they'll be late, so just wait for them!
P.S. Jenny, yes my hair is getting longer, maybe it's the humidity, maybe because I'm not playing with it as much, maybe just cuz I've prayed for it so long and now it's coming true! :)  Thanks for noticing!  I love you tons girlie and I hope everything is good where you are, thanks for helping my family with lizards and such.
P.P.S. JAMES!  I'm sorry I thought that was NELLA dancing, SO COOL that you did a dance, like seriously, I'm proud of you.
P.P.P.S. Nate-  you went to another school dance... and with the cross country team!  Oh I'm beaming! :) :) :)
P.P.P.P.S. Luke haha... nice, letting the cat lick off your face, you are too cute.
P.P.P.P.P.P.S Sister Ostler, I got your e-mail, thanks you're the best!  Get better soon, Love ya!

Less Duty. More Love.

 
Hey-Ho, Hey-Ho!!!
It's snowy outside!!!  The snow's been sticking, sitting, shouting, dancing, falling, and lookin' GOOD! :)  I'm so happy to see it, even though it means it's gunna get COLD!  I really do love how the snow makes me feel, it's like this crisp, clear, beautiful thing that makes you just want to curl up in a blanket and read a book... the Book of Mormon that is... and listen to Christmas music... the Mormon Tab, that is... and you know, just be excited for Christmas time!  I hope there is more snow in Provo.
 
I think I may start to copy-cat my companion in how she writes e-mails...then again, I've never been a copy cat and like to do things my way, but we'll see how it fits in this time... So what she does is she writes under the following titles:
 
Study Time: Czyli, what I studied this week...
Well, this week I studied about lots of things but two stick out to me more than any others.  One said that people listen to the commandments of men and the commandments of the devil rather than heeding to the commandments of God.  Well I started to think, what are the commandments of men?  What do men COMMAND you to do?  Really we shouldn't be letting anyone except God command us in any way - they should have no influence to make us do anything, but I think some of the "commandments" out there are, 1. Be skinny, look pretty, and show off... Don't listen to them!  2. Eat, drink, and be merry for tomorrow we die... Yeah, see that one ALL the time here!  People tell us all the time that we are wasting our lives, that we should just try some beer, coffee, tea, smokes, I've been offered to break the word of wisdom WAY more on my mission than ever before...as a matter of fact, I don't think anyone ever asked me to break the word of wisdom before my mission.  But the world is FULL OF IT.   Don't listen to them!
This morning as I read our 'Good, Better, Best' article from our Mission President (remind me to send you a copy of that, it's really good - Jenny should read it!) I realized that Good and better missionaries are alot of the time fueled by duty.  I know that alot of the time when I think about why I'm on a mission it's because I felt as though I have been given SO MUCH, and I owe God so much --so it's more of a duty thing sometimes...but I should be more focused on Love.  That should be the motivation behind every commandment for me, and I'm really going to try to work on it.  Less Duty.  More Love.  The word for love is 'Miłość' in polish.  To say 'I love you,' that would be 'Kocham cię' :)
Also, this morning I was reading 2 Nephi 27:11, I think it was, and it says that the good news of the 'book' will be read on the house tops.  I sat there on the fourth floor of my apartment building looking out at the snow topped people and cars and streets and thought, man, I'm declaring this book from the house tops - and just like the Newsies' song - THE WORLD WILL KNOW!  I got pretty pumped... someone should go watch Newsies for me :)
 
Christlike Attribute:  As a companionship we've been chosing a Christ-Like Attribute to work on each week.  This last week we worked on Wisdom/Knowledge.  It was fun to learn about the THREE WISE MEN - you should look them up, they seem really cool.  Also, I read some Joseph Smith Translation of Matthew and found out that Christ spoke not after the manner of men, and he didn't need a teacher.  As a child, He was such a genious and had such a relationship with the Holy Ghost and with God that he didn't need an earthly teacher - how cool is that!?  Oh man, I want to be more like our Savior!
 
My Companion:
I'm guessing here she writes something about me... which is silly, I'm not much to write about... but Sister Bezdjian sure is!  This girl is the most optimistic thing I've seen since sliced apple pie and vanilla ice cream.  She's so on top of things and just believes...even when nothing is happening...which is really hard for me to do sometimes... and then when her companion doesn't believe, she carries the faith for the both of us and tries to get me back into gear.  I'm grateful for her.  So grateful for her example in hard times.  We now have zero of the three people with bapstismal dates, and the Elder's investegator also decided not to get baptized anytime soon, so it's just been feeling a little... slow... but hey, I signed up for this game!  And like Sister B. says, or rather it's just how she acts, things are going to work out, 'they're going to get baptized.'  She asks no questions... and so we go.
 
Funny Things:
We got contacted by this guy yesterday after church later in the afternoon - SO COOL.  He comes up to us, he's got an earing and a nose ring, nothing big, but he's skinny and tall and stops us and is all like, 'hey I see you girls here every Sunday at the same time, right at the time I'm coming back from playing soccer.  I figure you've got to be pretty dedicated to a schedule or something, and you're always smiling.  What are you up to?  what's your deal? 
WELL, sir, we'd LOVE to tell you about it... Man it's so fun to get contacted, it's like my favorite thing EVER :) - so the guy eventually tells us that he doesn't use the Internet because he's an "enemy of the internet" - haha funny, and he also doesn't watch t.v. - he's a young guy, plays goalie and recently broke his wrist from it and we're going to meet with him tonight and he's sooooo gunna get baptized.  :)
 
We ate FROG-LEGS in a CHINESE restaurant, with Christmas Decorations all around and in the middle of POLAND... conflict of traditions and cultures going on for sure... :) 
 
We got hit-on by some random 15 year old guys who asked to exchange numbers and then guessed how old we were... interesting...
 
Other:
Well, hope you liked that organization above, besides that, here's some of the other amazing things that happened this week:
 
Two families came to church yesterday and it was such a miracle!  (No mom, not the cool awesome family with the tiny baby, we'll get them next week I hope)  I miss having kids at Sacrament Meeting, and this church really is a FAMILY church, so I was super excited to have four kids at church. Two behaved really well, the others not so well, and I felt bad for their parents so I showed them where the primary room was - half the size of the play-room in our house - and they let the little boy play during sacrament meeting.  They will learn, it will just take some time... also the members in our ward will have to get used to some noise!  I missed a big part of Sacrament Meeting and realized that this is just the beginning.  Soon enough I'll have kids of my own and here goes my crazy life!  Man, it's so exciting!
 
I've been reading a lot from Daughters in My Kingdom - I LOVE IT!  I just love it so much... you should all read it.
 
We had a crazy couple meetings this week, Smoky meeting with Alcoholics and an Angry meeting with Athiests... the Smoky one was pretty horrible at first, then I just let myself not be worried and it wasn't as bad.  The air was FILLED with smoke and i did NOT want to enter that room, I swear I'm going to get cancer for just sitting in that room for 30 minutes... they were also drunk... and told us they were alcoholics so, that was interesting.  We really didn't get much across to them, I'm sure.  It was a husband and wife, and the man's mother.  Sad... I'm just so glad they don't have children and never did have any.
Then there's the Angry meeting with Athiests.  It's a man and his girlfriend, they've been living together for a long time, he doesn't believe in God and just wanted to fight about it.  At one point he grabbed the book of mormon and basically yelled in our faces saying it was wrong.  I told him right back I knew it was true and just felt real defensive while trying to act peacefully....kind of hard to do...actually kind of cool to feel like I was defending the faith, but the spirit was not there...so we ended with prayer and left.  Aah!  PEOPLE!  God exists.  He loves you.  PLEASE JUST BELIEVE IT!
 
Well, family, I think that may be most of all I wanted to say today... I'm excited to read Gregg's letter!  And all of yours too.  I love hearing from you.  And to everyone who reads anything that I'm reading, thanks for being interested in the work, and in what I'm doing.  I hope you all are having a WONDERFUL holiday season.  Just remember the reason for the season!  Read and remember Jesus Christ, the center of it all!  He is so amazing.  I love Him so much.
 
OH and a SHOUT OUT to Sister Bezdjian's SISTER who just got her MISSION CALL!  Man, that was exciting, I don't even know you and I was still excited.  Congrats - she's going to Georgia, will be the first Sister Missionary there EVER and speaking what... three languages?! WHA!?  Cool.  You're going to rock it girl.
 
Yep, the church is SO true, keep up the good work,
Lots of love,
- Siostra Amber Allen

Adventures with Gypsies

IT's DECEMBER!!! Well hey there everybody!  What's up!?  I haven't read all the e-mails yet, but I see someone got a new PHONE!  One of you boys should give mom a christmas present by putting all her recipies on Google Documents, then she can pull up her recepies on her smart phone wherever, and WHENEVER!  YAY!  :) haha...oh if only we had a smart phone for our missionary work, things would be a lot easier...we have to use more memory power and a LOOOOOTTTT of WRITING!  Yeah, the internet might crash...uh but when was the last time that happened?  And it's more likely that our house will be burned down...right?  Oh I dunno...maybe someday missionary work will get more hi-tech.
As for now, we're just running around Poznań, LITERALLY - I swear we run to at least one appointment a day - we either don't give ourselves enough time and are running late, or we just want to meet with lots of people and pack our little selves in there - Hey, go big or go home, right?  One of my new motto's.  Oh man, the work in Poland is GREAT and to add to that greatness... I'm LIVING IN POLAND!  I LOVE THIS PLACE!  A herd of pigeons flew over my head today...haha okay a flock...and as we walked by some old buildings with kids speaking polish to one another I just got a warm fuzzy feeling.  I really love this place, I hope you can love it too someday, if you don't already!
This week was super fun, there were some weird days, where I just felt sort of off- but I think that was my own fault for being a bit angry with someone or not following the Spirit... You know, you really do feel better about everything when you just DO WHAT'S RIGHT!  There was someone here in Poznań who just blatantly lied to our faces and blamed us for something we didn't do and I got a bit miffed inside.  Don't do it.  It's not worth it.  Just forgive and forget!  I did end up apologizing for whatever we didn't do, and felt a little better about the whole thing, but still, I could have jsut been okay with it from the get-go.  Lesson learned: Just love life, and the only things you're allowed to stand up for are 1. your life, 2. your religion, 3. your families, or 4. your freedom.  Cuz that's what the Nephites did, right?  They tried not to have skirmishes unless their lives or freedoms were in danger.  Cool.
I got a letter from NELLA this week - and was that a picture of her dancing?  Pretty! Thanks and I will try to send you something soon!
Well, last monday, we went out to this family's house in the middle of nowhere's land.  They're super poor and from Romania -so it would have been cool if Sister Folsom was here cuz I think she speaks some Romanian!  But I think they were gypsies.  Sister Folsom told me about the Gypsies in Romania and how they act like they are poor and just live off of other people.  After being out at their place, I think that's true of these people as well.  They all seemed healthy and happy and had enough food but neither of the parents work and the dad is the only one who understands Polish and speaks it - except for religious terms, he had no idea what we said as we shared a first lesson about the restoration.  But it was sad to see where they live, and that they can't read.  I worry about the kids - there were like four or five in the one family -one room, cold floors and blankets on the walls, low ceilings...and then like four more kids in the other family in the other room.  Man... sad stuff.  We aren't allowed to teach gypsies, and I can see why, there really isn't much we can do for them.  Anyways, that was an experience.  On our way out of there, one of the little girls, dirty and small, her name is Maria, followed us as her dad showed us where to go to get back home.  He told her to go home, in Romanian, but she didn't listen and kept following us, close behind me so her dad wouldn't see her... so I reached my hand out behind my back and she held my hand on the way through the muddy street in the dark.  It was just cool.  I love kids!
Funny stories: So Sister Bezdjian had this awesome green umbrella with white polka-dots and it rained hard a couple days this week (AND SNOWED A LITTLE ONCE!) and so we had out our umbrellas as we ran to a tramwaj.  Well, she opened the door and umbrella first started to get on the tramwaj, but the door shut on her umbrella and smushed it!  HAHA!  Then the door wouldn't open so she tried to rip it out...I encouraged against that...thinking it'd probably just break it more...the poor thing!  Ha, but the tramwaj just DROVE AWAY with it!  the little handle blowing in the wind...oh man, it was pretty hilarious- stander-by's sure got a kick out of it, at least it was a good conversation starter!  : )
Also, we were on a bus this week and this guy in a car next to our bus wasn't driving properly or something and the bus driver kept honking at him, then the guy drove up next to the bus and stuck his angry little Polish head out the window and probably was swearing at the bus driver.  So the bus driver speeds up and CUTS THE GUY OFF!  We were blocking the WHOLE STREET!  Granny's apples went flying, the poor girl down the street fell off her chair, and everyone was in a holler... the bus driver gets off the bus and walks over and yells back at the guy, once he's got his fill gets back in the bus and takes off normally again...not sure what that accomplished but...whatever.  Haha...fun, and all the while I was talking to an awesome 15 year old girl who lives here in Poznań and I ended up getting her phone number and we are going to meet with her this week!  COOL!
We had another lesson with Mama Ola this week, and it went really well, I really think awesome things are going to happen with her family!
One more quick story and then I want to read what you wrote and hope to write a bit back - maybe send some pictures too...
Yesterday we'd just got off the tramwaj (said TRAM-V- EYE) and we were waiting at the light to cross the street and go tracting, for like two hours before lunch, and it was cold and we were fasting...well there was this tall cute couple standing there with their baby in a stroller.  So we awkwardly surrounded them on both sides and Sister Bezdjian asked if it was a boy or girl and - AAH! My companion is so studly at contacting, I need to just do what she does, she's so good at it! - and so we started talking to them and they were looking for an open store to buy bread.  Luckily all the stores were closed, after a while, Sister B. was talking with the mom and I was talking with the dad, just about life and stuff, I somehow got on the topic of the word of wisdom and told him we don't drink alcohol or smoke.  Well after about 8 minutes, they're like, well we live here, do you want to come up for tea?  Um... WHAT!   THAT NEVER HAPPENS!  SURE!  So we came up and refused the tea and told them we were fasting and what we do with fast offerings... haha man they got way more than a first lesson that day...and they like ASKED US what our CHURCH was like (my jaw just kept dropping further and further as the lesson went on) ! SO perfect segue into the RESTORATION of the FULLNESS of the EVERLASTING GOSPEL!  Man... so they let us pray with them and the 2 month old baby was crying during some of it, but then the first vision was quoted while mom was standing up holding baby, and the baby stopped crying and there was this presence in the room... BAM.  It hit all of us, you could see it in their eyes - IT's TRUE!  EVERYONE!  I KNOW IT!  Joseph Smith SAW God the Father and Jesus Christ!  He RESTORED the true gospel, I'm feeling it even now - this tingly awesome sensation... man... so cool!  They set up with us AGAIN!  The dad said a kneeling PRAYER on the end of the lesson, OUTLOUD - he was so nervous.  They said they'd READ the BOOK and COME TO CHURCH!  I'm telling you...this really just fell into our hands and they're so normal!  I love normal people!  Now the only down side of this story is that I didn't invite them to be baptized. It was my turn to extend a commitment, I didn't feel that it was going to fit into the conversation - but at the same time I knew that was just an excuse my mind had made up.  We've been asked to ask people if they will be baptized on the first lesson...and folks, I didn't do it.  I was elated after the lesson with my companion, but I was also being kicked in the soul by the Spirit saying, hey you!  You didn't say what I asked you to say, my friend, not cool.  So then I felt really yucky inside and...you know beat myself up a bit... Moral of the story is, NEVER DENY A PROMPTING.  Just do what the spirit says!  No matter whether it's hard to do or not.  I get so nervous,
 and I'm supposed to say it just right and not stutter according to our Assistants to the President, and I just feel really pressured everytime I try to say it to someone.  So I'm going to work on it, and it'll be much better next time, I promise.
Thanks for your prayers and everything, I'm doing great, could use help on my polish GRAMMAR...ugh it's not too good... but I'm WORKING ON IT! :)
The church is true!  If you want an assignment for this week, look up John the Baptist - that guy is a STUD!  Love him!
K, love you all,
peace.
