Surprise!!

As usual, because this is the evening of our last day in Poznan, i'm in a hurry and put the pictures in last to first. oh well!!

Ross and I came to the Branch last night to be in on a discussion with Sister Leppanen and Sister Smithee. It was supposed to be the last discussion with Agneszka before her Baptism on Saturday. We walked into the Chapel and there was the whole Branch. They had put together a surprise party for us to say goodbye. We were overwhelmed! They gave us a beautiful book on Poznan and all wrote messages on the inside.

Above is kate Healy with her 2 sons. she just had a baby 2 weeks ago and nothing stops her from jumping right back into the mix. she's great.

Elder Curtis, Sister Smithee, Pavel, and Elder Marsing are on the left.

Marlena and Agneszka are being baptised on Saturday at the Hotel Sheraton in their indoor swimming pool. In the summer it is usually held in one of the lakes.

Michael (Mehow) and his wife Gosia and Grzgorz.

Isa and Justyna

Regina, Bozena and my dear, dear friend Jola.

Ross and I had just finished unwrapping the book on Poznan.

There is always food and this was no exception. These were all really good desserts.

When we walked into the Chapel, everyone was there. I think it beat our attendance on Sunday.

We are so grateful that we had the opportunity to serve in Poznan Poland. We got to know and love so many people and they will be dearly missed.
