YSA, Branch conference lunch and District meeting

At our District meeting on Monday, President Nielson and Sister Nielson gave us Kinder Eggs. You can't find them in the states. You open them up and break the chocolate egg in half and inside is a prize. I got a tiny ATV that I put together, one of the Elders got a cat balloon, one got a tiny airplane, one was a spinning top etc. Crazy little things that are so tiny.

Below this picture, Elder Marsing our district leader is giving us, mainly the young Elders and Sisters some Polish language practice. They have given us up as a lost cause.

Sister Sheahan and Sister Leppanen are thinking they have the quizz figured out. Of course, Elder Rogers and Elder Fletcher think they do too. The prizes that we all got were the Kinder eggs. Presiddnt Nielson even has one.

After Branch conference on Sunday, we had a potluck supper with lots of good food. President Nielson, Sister Nielson and the District presidency was there. It was a great Sunday!!



Our wonderful District Presidency always gives us the support we need.
In the back is Andy Armstrong, counselor in the District, Dariusz Dresler our District President, Zbigniew Rzeczycki on the District council. In front is Magda Dresler,she is over Family History in Warsaw and Gosia Rzeczycki our District Relief Society President.

Our cute YSA investigators, Bulic, Lydia and Karolina. We had plenty of food and everyone was hungry.

After food we had to have a picture of the YSAs who were at the dinner.

At our YSA activity, we had a game called egg drop. The object was to wrap your egg some way to prevent it from breaking when you stood on a chair and dropped it on the floor. We were able to use 2 paper cups, 4 pipe cleaners, 2 paper plates, 2 sheets of paper. We had some interesting inventions as you will see.

Sister Leppanen decided her egg was really protected so she threw her egg down and guess what.... it broke...

Oh! Oh!

All in all, only S. Leppanen's egg broke
so i guess she was the loser!!

Random..YSA nd Kasia

It was Monday night and time for FHE, it was time for games and food. this was Elder Buckner's last day as he was being transferred to Wroclaw. This was the craziest of all games and I will describe it later. Here you see Elder Buckner, Lydia, Marta and S. Sheahan.

Ross is throwing all his enthusiasm into the game. What the game consists of is choosing tthe vegetable you want to be. then you make up a sign for that veegetablee like a wave or whistle or whatever. One person starts by making his sign and calling for another vegetable who has to respond quickly and keep it going. You also have to call out the vegetable with a high voice and no teeth showing. the faster it gets the funnier. It actually is sort of stupid but fun and a crackup to watch. By the way, I was a carrot and Ross was an apple even though it wasn't a vegetable. Elder Rogers is next to Ross.

Alicia is sitting next to Elder Buckner as marta makes her sign for pinapple.

Next to Marta is our new Elder, Elder Marsing who comes from a small town in Idaho. His last area was Lublin Poland, another very small Branch.

This is aa continuation of the game on Saturday when we had a YSA activity with lots of different games and Pizza. Kasia Gorniak is in the blue shirt. she's staying the weekend with us. She was one of our YSAs from Poland and we love her.

Our little combined choir is practising for their special musical number for Sacrament meeting.

Kasia and I before Church on Sunday. And that's about a wrap, folks!!!!
