We finished the other puzzle really fast.  Here are both of them together.

Since the happenings in France and some other places, we have noticed that there are 2 or 3 police cars stationed down the street a little ways by a Muslim Mosque that is near our office.  And it looks like they stay there all night and all day.  We don't know if they are protecting them or making sure they don't cause any problems. 

Last Thursday morning, Sister Kuchar and Sister Simkins called and sang "Happy Birthday" to Wayne.  It was really cute and I know that Wayne appreciated it.  All of them are just like our grandkids.  We love them all.

We had another baptism on Saturday.  This is Maksym.  And Elders Jaeger and Swicegood.  (Our office elders)

Sunday after church Wayne and I walked over to the cemetery that is close to our chapel.  It is the Uprising Cemetery.  This is the statue that is in the front, prior to your entering.

These are the headstones of all of the people that died in the uprising.   This is only one row.  There were many, many rows.

Then you entered the main part of the cemetery.  Once again there were many flowers and lamps.  And people were coming and going constantly.  We had to wait quite a while before we took these pictures so there weren't any people in the pictures.

Sunday we had 55 people at church and quite a few of them were investigators.  The missionaries usually sit by investigators and they were really spread thin on Sunday.  We just need to get them all baptized.  

Monday night at FHE, all of our "family" had pitched in what money they could and bought Wayne a little gift for his birthday.  It was a plate that you hang on the wall or on a little stand, of Warszawa and Old Town.  It was very touching.  They all said that they didn't want us to forget them, so every time we look at the plate we will remember them.  It was very special and we will never forget them.

 We were reading the Title Page, Introduction and the testimonies of all the witnesses.  We talked a lot about the Book of Mormon and how true it is and why it is another testament of Jesus Christ.

We woke up to snow on the ground on Tuesday, but it didn't last too long.  And it has been very foggy during the morning hours also.

The office elders came over Wednesday night and I helped them some banana bread.  They gave us a spiritual message and bore their testimonies.  It was a wonderful evening.

Hope you all have a good week.  We love you and miss you all.
