After showers off we go to the Mission office where we will spend the majority of the day in front of our computers. Ross will make sure all financial affairs for the Poland Warsaw mission are in order, rents paid, utilities taken care of, and all the bills, reciepts, that have to do with the running of the misssion. I'm over at the other desk, taking care of referrals, Baptismal forms, new missionary recommendations, outgoing missionary correspondance, mission history, etc. etc.
Along with that I put a English lesson together for the week and depending on the day, we have a District meeting here and an office meeting along with various zone meetings, so this is a busy place.
Here are our 2 assistants to the President, Elder Eastman sitting in front of the computer and Elder Hillyard standing. They are an immense help to the President.
Today we are on our way to the Branch where we attend Church and where Ross is the Branch President. As usual we are loaded down with bags for the Branch, needed supplies.
We will make a stop on the way to Mokatow mall
where the bank is to deposit church funds and draw out money for our YSA group heading to Romania today for YSA conference.

As we walk into the Branch, we see 3 of the YSAs waiting patiently for the bus to arrive. Ada Jarosz is the one on the left and is home for the summer, she is going to BYU. I love her, she is a sweetheart. The other 2 girls are from Lodz and I don't know them.
Kasia Gorniak and Dominik Lyzwinski are visiting with Ross in his Branch office. They are wonderful Young Single Adults and I get to work with them.
This is Jack Stroszer from Lodz. This is his first YSA conference and he is excited to be going.
Piotr, Camilla, Dorota and Marta just hanging out in the YSA center waiting for the bus. The whole big group just finished polishing off pizza and juice and cookies. They should be able to make it for at least a couple of houras before getting hungry again.
The bus is here. It's a Mercedes Benz bus and holds 22 people, seats are comfortable but not a whole lot of leg room. The bus ride will take 17 hours one way. I'm so glad I'm not on it!!!!
It took real talent on the part of the bus driver and Brat Jarosz from Warsaw I Branch to get all the many bags loaded up to go.
