of the Wolska Chapel which is the only Chapel in all of Poland. Our Institute and Seminary program is small here in Warsaw those that are in the program are dedicated. Our four who completed the program are Solongo Unursaihan ( she is not there as she was sick), Marta Wisniewska, Katarzyna, and Dominik Lyzwinski. Kasia (Katarzyna) has taken all four years so she also got a Graduation Certificate.Ater the graduation, there was a Commemoration Celebration with speakers telling the history of the Church here in Poland and the dedication of the Chapel 20 years ago. After the ceremony, I visited with two of my YSAs Aleksandra Modzelewska and Marta Wisiniewska while people were waiting for the cookout to begin.
Anna Kulinicz and Jackie Pickett a transplant from Texas ( husband mark works for maraathon Oil here) are sharing a few thoughts about the Church here in Poland.
As you can see in the pictures below, the kitchen crew is busy getting food ready to go outside to the barbecue and picnic tables. As always there is a lot of meat, sausage and hamburgers are best sellers.
\Krzyszlof Jarosz is the man of the hour and grilled an enormous amount of sausage and hamburgers. He was still cooking when we left. He is the Mission's right hand man. I don't think thee mission could rrun wwithout him. He finds all the apartments for the missionaries, maintains goodd relations with all the landlords, makes repairs and the list goes on. He and his wife (Iwona) have a great daughter at BYU and another one at home still in school.
Sister Khulan is patiently waiting for the burgers to be done so her little granddaughter can eat. Sister khulan is from Mongolia and Nasa, her daughter is one of our YSAs.
Mirinda Shaha attended with her sweet daughters, Emily and Caroline. Ben, her husband is in the military and here on assignment and this day on assignment in the Balkans. They are leaving in August for the USA and an assignment in Monterey CA. That will be much closer to home for Mirinda who is from Utah.
Below is Urszula Czesak and Teresa Lissowska. Urszula is public relations for the Church and was instrumental in putting the commemoration together from start to finish. Teresa spoke at the commemoration. She and I have an important thing in common. She loves dogs and showed me pictures of her 4 dogs, all rescue and I talked about mine.
Below is three generations: from right to left are Aleksandra (daughter who just graduated from BYU) her mother Malgorzata and grandmother Rzeczycki. I love Gosia (Malgorzata) and her husband. they had us over for a Polish Christmas eve which was so wonderful.
These are two of our YSAs; Aleks and Marta.
I was able to get a picture of Dougie Nabozny (who usually goes 90 miles an hour)and his mom Asha(Joanna Maria). Her husband Richard is taking them with him to Hungary for 1-4 years as he goes to school there. He is from Arizona and served a mission here several years ago.
Here are the intrepid four from Las Vegas. We were actually able to get together for a quick picture. that doesn't happen very often. The Mission President and his wife have a busy schedule and are usually on the go but we happened to be at the same place at the same time.
At the end of a busy day, I cleaned some fresh strawberries to eat with strawberry ice cream. There are strawberry stands on every corner and they are truley delicious. By the way, the ice cream here is to die for.
