The baptism was for Janusz. He was very excited and his mom and sister came to be part of his baptism. It was awesome. So here is Janusz with Elders Wright and Wride.
Also, during the program all of the Warszawa Elders and Sisters sang. They do such a wonderful job.
I can't see the Elders well enough to name them all. The Sisters are Tobler (with her back to the camera), behind her is Sister Moncur, then Smith, Poklinkowska, Benson and Kuchar.
Saturday's adult session for District Conference was wonderful. President Edgren gave a talk on the struggles that each of us face and how we can overcome them. He showed the video - "Mountains to Climb" that was given by President Eyring. Very touching.
Sunday was a very sad day. Everyone said goodbye to Sister Jagard. They had a little get together after District Conference for her. Their family will be missed greatly.
So when we got home on Sunday, it was right to cooking for FHE. We made three batches of chili and I found some corn flour so I decided to make some corn bread. The texture was a little bit different than in the US, but good none the less. And everyone seemed to enjoy it. Our lesson was on Brat Jorg Klebingat's talk at conference on Approaching the Throne of God with Confidence. It was really a good lesson and everyone participated.
Monday, right before we left for FHE, President called and said that he had moved our Zone training meeting from Thursday to Tuesday. The one Elder who didn't come in last week with his group arrived on Monday at 5:00 pm. He was assigned to one of the Elders from Lublin. Lublin is in our Zone, so the President had all the missionaries from Lublin come up on Tuesday for Zone Training. It was easier than sending Elder Park down to Lublin by himself and then having all of them come up on Thursday. Hope that makes sense. So after FHE, Wayne and I went shopping for the luncheon we would feed to the 18 Elders and Sisters after Zone Training. We made chicken noodle soup and bread and brownies. We didn't get to bed until 11:30 pm. And we forgot to take pictures.
On our way home from the office on Friday, as we crossed over the Lock Bridge, we saw a corn maze that they had put up for the kids that live in this little subdivision. It wasn't much, but the kids will have fun, I'm sure.
They had all of the corn stalks held up by wire or string. And of course they had a lot of pumpkins.
And bales of hay.
So President and Sister Edgren are in Portugal at a Mission Presidents Seminar. And we are in charge. Ha, ha!!!!!
The Tuellers and Sisters Tobler and Benson started to plan a Halloween party for the YSA. Actually, the sisters took over and they have planned a lot. Of course they asked if we would help with the food. So yesterday after work Wayne did the chopping and I did the cooking and baking. We made some more chili. This time it was 4 batches, another pan of corn bread and a carrot cake. We will leave the office today about 4:30 pm so we get to the chapel by 5:30 pm. They are planning on having a pumpkin carving contest, let them make some caramel apples and decorate them. They have games planned and some songs to sing. We hope a lot of the YSA show up. It really sounds like it will be fun. We will take lots of pictures.
It rained yesterday and was very cold. The weather says its suppose to snow today. Nothing on the ground yet.
On Monday, the 27th, we will be having a Senior Missionary Conference in Torun again. It will only be for four couples this time and the Tuellers leave for home shortly after the conference.
It's 41 degrees outside right now. Winter's a comin'.
Have a wonderful week. We love you and miss you all.
