Latest Email From Poland

**Sorry it is a little late but here is the latest update from Poland**

The training is going alright so far, it is way different and hard to get used to but it is going alright. My companion is Elder Taylor, he's from California. He's a pretty cool kid so far, kind of quarky, but we all are in each of our own ways. He is doing really well with the language already, much better than I did when I got to Poland. This whole new group seems to be doing really well with the language. It was pretty cool seeing all the Elders from this new group, they almost all knew Wendy because she cut some of their hair. Elder Taylor is way into gymnastics and stuff like that. He is okay, I'm still getting used to serving with him though. We'll see how it goes.
This week has been really good. I love having the other missionaries here with us. One of the missionaries here, Elder Handley, just served here 2 months ago and everyone is so happy he is back now. He is the district leader now, and he is way cool I like him a lot. His companion is Elder Trost, he's from germany and was in my district in Poznań, he's a pretty cool kid too. Unfortunately I think he will be leaving our mission soon, he's going to go to the Germany mission because he won't learn the language.
We had a good sunday the other day, President Pawlik from the district presidency came and after all the sunday meetings we had a meeting with our newest member Sławek. He's going to be getting the melchezidek priesthood at District conference next month! I'm so excited for him, he is such a cool guy. It will be so cool to see him get the priesthood, I'm way excited for that.
Yesterday we went to Warsaw for zone conference, it was really good I always enjoy going to zone conferences and seeing all the missionaries that I have become good friends with there. I was able to stay with Elder Brown and that was way cool. I really like him a lot, he is such a good missionary! We had so much fun when we served together. The missionary that he was just put with, the one that wanted to go home early, is already home now, that was way sad to hear. I feel way bad for Elder Brown cause he was way sad to see that kid go.
It has been so cold here the past week! During the night it gets down to -30 celcius and in the day sometimes -20 Its been pretty misserable, but it is okay. We still have fun and try to talk to people. Now one wants to talk when it is that cold out and I sure don't blame them, but we are finding other ways to stay productive. We have been working on the area book a lot and we have been doing more trakting than usual. It has been pretty fun.
I got to keep this short and I'm sorry I'm sending the same email to everyone but this week was kind of weird. I got kicked out of the library on tuesday because there were a lot of people waiting then we had to go to Warsaw and we had zone conference on Wednesday and we just got back here in Kielce not long ago. I love you all so much and I hope that everything keeps going well. I will write more next week. I love you so much family!

Love your son and brother, Elder Anderton
