It's mushroom season, and all along the road people are selling mushrooms they have just picked in the forest. Word on the street is....Be Careful! They may be poisonous. We didn't buy any.
Katowice is a mining town and is known for its bad air. It is a great city, though, and missionaries love serving there.
While in Katowice, we actually took a P-Day (well a couple of hours) and took in some sights around the city. This is a monument honoring the 'Polish Scouts'--the young boys who would carry information and ammunition through the streets without causing attention from the Nazi Soldiers who thought they were just playing. After the Russians took over Poland, they rounded up these young boys and killed them all thinking that if they rebelled against the Germans, they would rebel against the Russians.

ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing...I love seeing all of the places and sights of Poland and all of the missionaries..I was particularly excited to see this Katowice conference as I was hoping to catch a pic of Elder Murphey and you didn't disappoint me. He looks wonderful and happy! Thank you so much for the pictures. I was wondering if it would be too much to ask you to email the pictures of Elder Murphey when he first came off the plane and getting his companion Elder Tribe. I know you are so busy and I hate to ask but the picture of him with the President in the background smiling is such a priceless picture and I would love to scrapbook them. If you are too busy I totally understand. Thank you...Debbie e-mail address rmurphey8@gmail.com
I Love POLAND......
