Today is Wayne's birthday.  Monday night, our FHE group sang "Sto Lat" to him.  It was really special.  We are going to really miss our Monday nights in Poland.

It's been a quiet week, this week.  We have been trying to train the office elders, but it seems like they have other things to do, so it's going slow.

We did get notification of a new Senior Couple coming.  They will be here in July.  If we don't get another couple before then, they will be the only ones here when they arrive.  The President can put them anywhere he wants.  The Szczecin Branch doesn't have any Melchizedek Priesthood, so it's the likely place.  Anyway, the president was excited to know that he won't be all alone after July.

It has been very mild here and lots of rain.  And the wind has been terrible.  The fence at the mission home was blown over.  Brat Jarosz had to come over and help get it upright again.  They will need to replace a section of it.

One of the sister's apartment here in Warszawa had little worms all over.  I'm thinking they were little "silver fish".  But we had to get their apartment fumigated.  They didn't have to move anything out of the apartment so that was nice.  And they could go back into their apartment that night.

Wayne has been able to give many, many blessings.  It is usually the sisters that ask him for one.  But he sure has enjoyed the opportunity to listen to the spirit and give some guidance and comfort to them.  All of the sisters we have here in Warszawa are very special and very dear to our hearts.

James sent us another puzzle this year.  It was of downtown Provo.  It took us 3 weeks to put it together.  So here is a picture of it.  And we decided to put together the one from last year again.  We are working on that now.  It was of a BYU Football game.  Crazy!!!!

We'll take a picture of both of them when we get the other one put together.  

Elder Charles of the Seventy will be visiting next week.  We will have a Zone Conference and then he will speak on Sunday to both the Warszawa I and II Branches.  So it's back to cooking and baking.  Sister Edgren and I will be feeding about 60 people.   I think I convinced to have pulled-pork sandwiches.  She's still thinking about it.   

Well, another week gone by.  We try not to think about it too much.  Don't want to get "trunky".

We love you and miss you all.
