Saturday we went to buy some food and also to look for some sales at the mall. The we went out to the chapel to start the 6 cars we have parked in the back. And then we stayed for another baptism.
Elder Jourdan, Henryk and Elder Wride.
First one of 2015. There is a baptism planned for each Saturday in January. We hope they all make it to the water. Poland had 42 baptisms last year. The President was pleased, but knows there can be more and so do we. It was a wonderful service.
Sunday was a beautiful testimony meeting. The members are leaving to go the temple next Monday. It will probably be the last time they go until it opens in 2016. Frankfurt temple is just too far and cost too much for them to go. Anyway, one of the members of our branch - Stanislaw - was baptized last year and he is going to receive his endowment. Wayne and I are going to ask the President if we can go. We truly love this man and would love to be there when he goes through for the first time.
We'll see what the President says.
At FHE we talked about happiness and what truly makes us happy. We had 11 members of the branch there and the sister missionaries. They all participate and we really have fun when I try to communicate with them in Polish. They just laugh and say the word(s) for me. You should hear me try and read a scripture!!! It really is fun. I don't know what they will do when we leave. I'm sure our little group will be disbanded unless a new couple comes in. And I think by now that is not going to happen.
So, Tuesday was another holiday in Poland - Epiphany - or 3 kings day. Once again, everything was closed and nothing was happening at the office either. We started training the office elders on Wednesday. They are very smart, so both of them should learn very quickly.
It felt like a very long 2 weeks with the holidays and all.
We love you and miss you all.
