President and Sister Walter Whipple, the first mission President of the Poland Warsaw Mission (1990-1993) were able to come by for an evening. They are on their way to Lublin for Pioneer Day and the celebration. The 24th of July also marks their 20th year anniversary when they began their service as Mission President. They currently are serving at the Jerusalem Center. Also with us are Robert and Sylwia Zelewski and their daughter, Maja. Robert was baptized in Mesa, Arizona in 1989 and was the first branch president in Lodz. He is one of the great pioneer members of the Church in Poland. This was a night of learning the history of the Church in Poland. Not only has this great country change tremendously in the past 20 years, but the Church has also.
Elder Turley shared his birthday cheese cake to end the night's activities. With him are Sister Whipple and Elders Balija, Mehner and Augustyn. President Whipple came into the MTC two years ago as an investigator and these missionaries practiced teaching him the gospel. He also met Elder Augustyn many years ago in the Chicago area and knows his parents well.
