We had another baptism on Saturday. I made some brownies, because they always have something to eat after baptisms. But Kasia was baptized and it was a wonderful experience for everyone.
Here is Kasia and Sisters Pearson and Tobler.
And Godfrey was asked by Kasia to baptize her
On Sunday, they announced that we were all invited to come back at 17:00 hours and listen to the First Presidency Christmas message and then we would have some salads and desserts afterwards. That was going to be our branch Christmas party. So I came home and made some Rice Krispy treats and we went back at 17:00. So you should have seen "just salads and desserts" It was a regular sit down meal. They had some Polish made mushroom soup and beet soup. They had herring in a red sauce and a white sauce and whole bunch of salads and desserts. The missionaries sang Christmas songs and our Branch President (who works for Mattel) brought in a bunch of toys for all the children. Everyone really enjoyed themselves.
For FHE on Monday, I made some Chicken Noodle soup and chocolate cake for dessert. We showed the DVD called "Joy to the World" and everyone loved it.
Tuesday night we walked down to the Post Office that is near our apartment to mail a package. They are open until 20:00 hours and when we got there at 19:20, it was packed. We didn't leave until 19:55. I think I told you before, the customer service here is very poor. And people get really upset with each other.
Wednesday night at English we read the story of "How the Grinch Stole Christmas and played some games. We had our biggest class. I had made some sugar cookies for them as our Christmas present to them. Everyone said they were very sweet but enjoyed them anyhow. So here is our class:
Sorry, I can't remember all of their names. But we enjoy having this class.
We had some sad news this week. When we got to the office on Monday and opened up our email, there was a flight itinerary from the church for one of the sister missionaries. She arrived in Poland in May and was going home on Tuesday. When she first arrived in Poland she was assigned to Wroclaw, so we got to know her very well. It was very sad to know she was going home. And we are losing another sister today. But she is going home on schedule. The President had to call the missionary department and request another sister missionary. But even with that being done, we won't see her for at least 3 months. So there will be a threesome of sister missionaries for a long time. We did get notification of another Senior Couple coming in on Jan. 28th. It's kind of fun to know what is happening with all the missionaries, but very difficult also.
Well, that's it for this week. I'll try to have some more pictures of the Renik lit up and what we did on Christmas Day. We wish you all a very Wesołych Świąt! We love you and miss you.
