HAPPY BIRTHDAY MICHAEL NEXT TUESDAY. WE LOVE YOU!
Friday night we packed a bag and went to bed early so that we could get up and drive the 5 hours to Wrocław. We were sent there to close the Senior Apartment and get everything out of it. We took the transporter and it was filled to the brim with stuff. It took us all day long on Saturday even with the Elders helping us. We also inspected the apartments of the Elders and Sisters. We got a lot of things done and were very tired when we went to bed. We stayed overnight in the Senior's apartment. Sunday we got up and went to church. Everyone in Wrocław welcomed up warmly. It was good to see our old friends and that they remembered us. I couldn't believe it though when President Cieliński asked me to say one of the prayers. Every time we had a meeting with him when we lived there, he would ask me to say a prayer. And Wayne forgot his suit back in Warsaw, so he wore a colored shirt, a sweater, and black levis to church. So President Cieliński asked him to pass the sacrament and I told him no! I wasn't going to have Wayne pass the sacrament without a white shirt!
On our way home, it was foggy and rainy, so it took a little longer than usual.
On Monday, we were hoping the President would tell us that we could look at the transfer board, but he didn't say anything. So we will wait. Monday night for FHE, I took some little objects with me and had all of them pick one and then look up a scripture and then tell the rest of our little family what it meant to them. It went really well. I took a ring, bread, water, rope, book, tree, owl, etc.
Sisters Poklinkowska and Kuchar have been meeting with Ewa. She comes to our FHE and sometimes to church. But she wants to get baptized, so we will see what happens. It will be a wonderful blessing for Sister Poklinkowska, because she is going home on the 16th.
Tuesday after being at the office, we went home and put up our little Christmas tree.
And here is the decoration that I made in RS the week before. I am not a very good putter-togetherer!
We've decorated our office too. So now it feels like Christmas.
We got to see the transfer board on Wednesday. Lots of changes. And now the fun begins. We will be getting a new elder in the office and a new elder as AP. Today is going to be very busy!
Wayne had a meeting with President Pogorzelski last night. He was asked to be the 2nd councilor in the branch presidency. Also they talked about the Gospel Princples class that was taught on Sunday. It was about the celestial kingdom, but somehow they got talking about space ships and how you will be able to think your way from one place to another. These new members are so tender in the gospel and sometimes come up with the some crazy ideas. Teach them correct principles and hopefully they are listening. That's all we can do.
We love you and miss you all.
By the way, we got our marching papers. I'll let you know next week when we will be home.
