The Gdansk Branch

This weekend we took a quick trip up to Gdansk, a beautiful city on the Baltic Sea, to check on our missionaries and the great members of the branch there.
Saturday night we met the missionaries and the Branch President and his family on Dlugi Street for dinner. As you can see, the city is getting ready for Christmas ...and it will be stunning!
In front of the Town Hall of Old town built in the 1300's. A life size guilded statue of one of the Polish Kings, August Zygmunt II, is on the spire of this great building.
We woke up Sunday morning to face our first REAL Polish snow storm. The first of many to come.....
Branch President Pawelczek, his wife, Gabby, and their 3 month old son, Nataniel. Three of the great members of the Gdansk Branch!
Saying good-bye to our hard-working Missionaries in the Gdansk area in front of the chapel. L to R: Elder and Sister Zatylny, Elder Plumb, Sister Helfrich, Sister Bailey and Elder Lundin.

  1. 4th photo is not church :) it's Town hall of the Old City Gdansk. The first phase of construction of the current town hall was carried out in years 1379 - 1382. A gilded statue of the II August's Zygmunt was put on the spire of the tower, in scale 1:1. II August's Zygmunt was a king of Poland (1587-1632).
