It's time for our Senior Missionary conference! Our couples came in from all over Poland to attend. Here we are gathering at the Wolska Chapel for a Welcome and Orientation. L to R: Sisters Briggs, Galbraith, Marshall, Austin; Elder and Sister Harding, Elder and Sister Ireland, Sister Thueson, Elder and sister Neiman, Sister Powles, Elder Zatylny, Sister Kimball, Sister Zatylny, and Elder and Sister Moon.
The Seniors love to visit with one another. At times it is hard to move them....Let's go People!
The Neimans are ready for anything!
Our first stop is the popular Waraw Uprising Museum. It is a tribute to the doomed effort of the Polish Underground's heroic and tragic 63 day struggle to liberate Warsaw from German occupation. The population in Warsaw at the beginning of the Uprising was 1.3 million. By the end of the German bombing and destructuion of Warsaw, only 1000 people remained in the city.

Our next stop was the famous Warsaw Rynek. Here some decided to shop, some decided to take a walking tour of the downtown sights...

...some decided to climb a tall tower and view Warsaw on a beautiful day....
...and others decided to just sit and soak in the sun! (Elder Harding)
After a fun day of exploring, we all met at a marvelous restaurant found on a side street off the Rynek called 'Sekret' for a wonderful meal and socializing. Here we were joined by District President Hapgood and his wife, Ewa (front right).
After a good nights rest in the Mission Home, we all gathered for leadership training and 'housekeeping' business.
And of course a traditional 'Buki Break' lunch Senior style! Afterwards, some had to hurry and make trains to get home while others RAN to the polish pottery store close to our home. Afterwards we drove to Adam's Tie Factory, (talked about in a previous post), then it was everyone back to their cities to start the work again. We love and appreciate each of these Senior Missionaries. They are the 'backbone' of the mission. Thank you for all you have sacrificed to be here serving in Poland in this part of His vineyard. You and your families will be blessed! Remember...if you love them, leave them.....and go and serve the Lord!

Just a small correction: the square at front of the Royal Castle is called "Plac Zamkowy" or "Castle Square" - while "Rynek" is a "Merket Square" and is in a different location.
